If the matrix is in row echelon form then give the associated reduced row echelon form and enumerate the free and leading variables. are nonzero entries. (a) (b) , 2. (6 pts) For each problem, give the solution set in parametric form. (a) { x1 + 3x x 4 + 6x 5 = 2, x 3 + 2x 4 + x 5 = 1. (b) { x1 + 3x 2 + 4x 3 + 2x 4 + 3x 5 = 0, x 2 + x 3 + 2x 4 + 2x 5 = (6 pts) For each matrix equality, give the elementary coefficient matrix that enables to go from the right to the left. You can either multiply by the elementary matrix on the left or on the right but not on both sides. (a) ( L 2 L 2 3L 1 ) and ( L 3 L 3 6L 1 ) =

(Reduced or not.) 2) Using the formula for the inverse of a 2 by 2 matrix, find the inverse of A. Then use the inverse of A to solve the system Ax = b. 3) Using Cramer s Rule. Please be clear. If a technique does not work, say it. { 5x + 6y = 12 (a) 3x + 4y = 6 { x + 2y = 2 (b) 2x + 4y = 4 5. (10 pts) Give the set of solutions. (a) { x + 2y = 1 x + ky = 1 { 2x + y = 1 (b) 8x + 4y = k 6.
