Explanation Given: The equations that describe the numbers of cars entering and leaving all intersections are, B: 3050 + x 1 = 2500 + x 2 C: 4100 + x 2 = x 3 + 2800 D: x 3 + 1800 = 3000 + x 4 A: x 4 + 2250 = x 1 + 2900 Where, the variables x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , and, x 4 have usual meaning as explained in question. Definition used: 1. Any augmented matrix that has 1`s or 0`s on the diagonal of its coefficient part and 0`s below the diagonal is said to be in row-echelon form. 2. The augmented matrix representing n equations in n variables is said to be in reduced row-echelon form if it has 1`s or 0`s on the diagonal of its coefficient part and 0`s everywhere else. Calculation: Combine the given four equation and form the system of four equations in four variables x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , and x 4 . { 3050 + x 1 = 2500 + x 2 4100 + x 2 = x 3 + 2800 x 3 + 1800 = 3000 + x 4 x 4 + 2250 = x 1 + 2900 The above system of equations is written as follows. { x 1 − x 2 = − 550 x 2 − x 3 = − 1300 x 3 − x 4 = 1200 − x 1 + x 4 = 650 The augmented matrix associated with the system of linear equations in x 1 , x 2 , x 3 , and x 4 is, [ 1 − 1 0 0 − 550 0 1 − 1 0 − 1300 0 0 1 − 1 1200 − 1 0 0 1 650 ] . Perform the row operation R 4 + R 1 → R 4 , and obtain the new row reduced matrix as, [ 1 − 1 0 0 − 550 0 1 − 1 0 − 1300 0 0 1 − 1 1200 0 − 1 0 1 100 ] Perform the row operation R 4 + R 2 → R 4 , and obtain the new row reduced matrix as, [ 1 − 1 0 0 − 550 0 1 − 1 0 − 1300 0 0 1 − 1 1200 0

Family of Curves

A family of curves is a group of curves that are each described by a parametrization in which one or more variables are parameters. In general, the parameters have more complexity on the assembly of the curve than an ordinary linear transformation. These…

XZ Plane

In order to understand XZ plane, it's helpful to understand two-dimensional and three-dimensional spaces. To plot a point on a plane, two numbers are needed, and these two numbers in the plane can be represented as an ordered pair (a,b) where a and b are…

Euclidean Geometry

Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with flat surfaces like lines, angles, points, two-dimensional figures, etc. In Euclidean geometry, one studies the geometrical shapes that rely on different theorems and axioms. This (pure mathematics) ge…

Lines and Angles

In a two-dimensional plane, a line is simply a figure that joins two points. Usually, lines are used for presenting objects that are straight in shape and have minimal depth or width.
