- Consider the system of linear equations in x and y. ax+by=ecx+dy=f Under what conditions will the system have exactly one solution?arrow_forwardWhat operations can be performed on a linear system to arrive at an equivalent system?arrow_forward23. Consider a simple economy with just two industries: farming and manufacturing. Farming consumes 1/2 of the food and 1/3 of the manufactured goods. Manufacturing consumes 1/2 of the food and 2/3 of the manufactured goods. Assuming the economy is closed and in equilibrium, find the relative outputs of the farming and manufacturing industries.arrow_forward
- Use Cramers Rule to solve the system of linear equations for x and y. kx+(1k)y=1(1k)x+ky=3 For what values of k will the system be inconsistent?arrow_forwardFind a system of two equations in three variables, x1, x2 and x3 that has the solution set given by the parametric representation x1=t, x2=s and x3=3+st, where s and t are any real numbers. Then show that the solutions to the system can also be written as x1=3+st,x2=s and x3=t.arrow_forwardFind a system of two equations in two variables, x1 and x2, that has the solution set given by the parametric representation x1=t and x2=3t4, where t is any real number. Then show that the solutions to the system can also be written as x1=43+t3 and x2=t.arrow_forward
- A municipality’s drinking water network is supplied by a plant that is no longer sufficient to meet growing demand. It is planned to build two other plants which will be connected to the network (see image), where the arrows indicate the direction of the flow). It is necessary to predict the flows in each of the pipes of the network when the plants are operating at full capacity. (a) Construct the system of linear equations that describes the situation, knowing that for each knot in the system, the inflows are equal to the outflows. Identify the variables used. (b) Use an appropriate solution method to find the solution set of the system of linear equations without taking into account the context. (c) Taking the context into account, what can be expected as throughput between the knots N1 and N2?arrow_forward1. Suppose that at some initial point in time 100,000 people live in Auckland city and 25,000 people live in its suburbs. After conducting a research, the Regional Planning Commission determines that the model governing people's movement between Auckland and its suburbs is given by the equations: an+1 = 0.95a, + 0.03s Sn+1 = 0.05a, +0.97sn where an, is the number of people in Auckland and s, is the number of people in the suburbs. (a) Using column vectors, write the transition matrix A. (b) Assuming that the total population remains constant, by using Xn+1 = Ax, to compute the first five state vectors, find the population of Auckland city and its suburbs over a period of five years. (e) Write x₁, as a linear combination of the eigenvectors of A and use it to predict the first five state vectors. Confirm that your answers are the same as in Question (1b). (d) What does the model predict in the long term. Note: we have used Xn to denote the vector an 8parrow_forwarda. Show all the work for creating the linear system. b. Solve using the “reduced row echelon form” option from the LAT. Make screen shots or snips of the LAT display to post in your Word document. c. Be sure to write out your answer as x=..., y=.., and tell what this means using the term independent, dependent, consistent, and inconsistent as applicable. d. Find and interprets (7). Show your work e. After how many seconds does the ball reach its maximum height? Show your work. f. What is the maximum height? Show your workarrow_forward
- 1. Create a system of linear equations with three equations and three unknowns. Solve the system of equations you created using matrices Analyze the situation i.e. pretend that the person has no knowledge of lines and planes and wants you to explain to him what is happening and why.arrow_forward3) Solve the following linear system using Cramer's Rule: x+2y+z= -4 y -z = -2 = 4 x - 2yarrow_forward(1) The following explanation is incorrect: Consider the linear system of three equations in two variables (x and y are the variables):ax + by = ecx + dy = fgx + hy = k,.[1 ]. The linear equations represent three lines. We can denote them by L1, L2, L3.[2 ]. A linear system of two variables represents the different ways lines could intersect.[3 ]. Suppose L1 intersects L2 at point P, and L1 intersects L3 at a different point Q.[4 ]. Then the three lines intersect at two points.[5 ]. This means that the system has two solutions.Please do the following:(a) Indicate which of the statements numbered [1] to [5] above is incorrect and why itis incorrect:(b) Explain the correct conclusion of the explanation.(c) Sketch a graph that shows the situation of the three lines.arrow_forward
