1.1 Introduction to Systems of Linear Equations

1. (a) This is a linear equation in x1 , x2 , and x3 .

(b) This is not a linear equation in x1 , x2 , and x3 because of the term x1 x3 .

(c) We can rewrite this equation in the form x1  7 x2  3 x3  0 therefore it is a linear equation in x1 , x2 , and x3 .

(d) This is not a linear equation in x1 , x2 , and x3 because of the term x12 .

(e) This is not a linear equation in x1 , x2 , and x3 because of the term x13/5 .

9. The values in (a), (d), and (e) satisfy all three equations – these 3-tuples are solutions of the system.
The 3-tuples in (b) and (c) are not solutions of the system.
10. The values in (b), (d), and (e) satisfy all three equations – these 3-tuples are solutions of the system.
The 3-tuples in (a) and (c) are not solutions of the system.
11. (a) We can eliminate x from the second equation by adding 2 times the first equation to the second. This yields
the system

3x  2 y  4
0  1

The second equation is contradictory, so the original system has no solutions. The lines represented by the
equations in that system have no points of intersection (the lines are parallel and distinct).
(b) We can eliminate x from the second equation by adding 2 times the first equation to the second. This yields
the system

2x  4y  1
0  0
