1. Examine the solvability of the system of equations and solve, if possible.
(i)
x+y+z =1
2x + y + 2z = 1
x + 2y + 3z = 0
(ii)
x+y+z =1
2x + y + 2z = 2
3x + 2y + 3z = 5
2. For what values of a the system of equations is consistent? Solve completely in each
consistent case.
(i)
x−y+z =1
x + 2y + 4z = a
x + 4y + 6z = a2
(ii)
x+y+z =1
2x + 3y − z = a + 1
2x + y + 5z = a2 + 1
3. For what values of k the system of equations has a non-trivial solution? Solve in each
case.
(i)
x + y + z = kx
x + y + z = ky
x + y + z = kz
(ii)
x + 2y + 3z = kx
2x + y + 3z = ky
2x + 3y + z = kz
4. Determine the conditions for which the system of equations has (a) only one solution, (b)
no solution, (c) many solutions.
(i)
x + 2y + z = 1
2x + y + 3z = b
x + ay + 3z = b + 1
1
(ii)
x+y+z =b
2x + y + 3z = b + 1
5x + 2y + az = b2
5. Solve the system of equations
x2 + x 3 = a
x1 + x 3 = b
x1 + x 2 = c
and use the solution to find the inverse of the matrix
0 1 1
A = 1 0 1 .
1 1 0
6. Solve the system of equations
−x1 + x2 + x3 = a
x1 − x 2 + x 3 = b
x1 + x 2 − x 3 = c
and use the solution to find the inverse of the matrix
−1 1 1
A = 1 −1 1 .
1 1 −1
7. Solve the systems AX = E1 , AX = E2 , AX = E3 where
1 0 0
E1 = 0 , E2 = 1 , E3 = 0 .
0 0 1
Hence find A−1 .
(i)
1 1 0
A = 0 1 −1
2 1 2
(ii)
1 1 1
A = 8 3 4
2 1 1
