Tutorial 1
Instructions
Submit a handwritten scanned .pdf file named yyEE###_FirstName.pdf via
Moodle before the deadline. This tutorial will account for 2 % of your total
grade.
1. Solve the system of linear equations:
2x1 + 6x3 = −8
x2 + 2x3 = 3
3x1 + 6x2 − 2x3 = −2
comment on the consistancy and uniquness of the system. Use reduced
Echelon form to complement the comments.
2. Find a general solution to the system:
x1 − 5x2 + 4x3 = −3
x1 − 3x2 − 5x3 = 0
x2 + x3 = 3
(a) Represent the system using a matrix equation of the form Ax̄ = b̄
(b) Find a non-zero vector x̄H such that Ax̄H = 0̄
(c) Find a set N such that Ax̄ = 0̄, x̄ ∈ N .
5. [M] Visualize the three planes of Q1 in R3 using Matlab and locate the
solution (if any). Ex. the third equation in Q1 can be visualized using
the Matlab code: [x1 x2] = meshgrid(-5:1:5); x3 = (-2-3.*x1-6.*x2)/-2;
surf(x1,x2,x3,’facecolor’,’b’,’facealpha’,0.5);
6. [M] Visualize the set from Q4(c) in R3 . Also, visualize the set from Q4(d)
in R3 in the same plot. Note that there is a significance for the notation
N and x̄H
7. [M] In a wind tunner experiment, the force on a projectile due to air
resistance was measured at different velocities as shown in the table below.
