- 1. Consider the following system of equations: x13x2 + 4x3 - 5x4 = 7 -2x13x2 + x3 - 6x4 = 7 x16x213x3 - 21x4 = 28 a) Solve the system. Write your solution in parametric and vector form. b) What is a geometric description of the solution. 7 c) Is v = 7 in the span of the set S= [28. 1 HE 3 -5 3 ·6 ? If it is, write v 6 as a linear combination of the vectors in S. Justify. d) How many solutions are there to the associated homogeneous system for the system above? Justify. e) Let A be the coefficient matrix from the system above. Find the set of all solutions to Ax = 0. f) Is there a solution to Ax=b for all b in R³? Justify.arrow_forwardAnswer questions 8.3.1 and 8.3.2 respectivelyarrow_forward8.2.7 The brightness of a television picture tube can be evaluated by measuring the amount of current required to achieve a particular brightness level. A sample of 10 tubes results in x = 317.2 and s = 15.7. Find (in microamps) a 99% confidence interval on mean current required. State any necessary assumptions about the underlying distribution of the data. 8.2.8 An article in the Journal of Composite Materials (December 1989, Vol. 23(12), pp. 1200–1215) describes the effect of delamination on the natural frequency of beams made from composite laminates. Five such delaminated beams were subjected to loads, and the resulting frequencies (in hertz) were as follows: 230.66, 233.05, 232.58, 229.48, 232.58 Check the assumption of normality in the population. Calculate a 90% two-sided confidence interval on mean natural frequency.arrow_forward
