You can put this solution on YOUR website! Consider the accompanying matrix. Use the test for linear independence to find a basis for the space spanned by the rows of the matrix. Suppose that this matrix is augmented matrix for a system of equations. What is the rank of this systen? Which equations can be discarded?
{[1 0 1 1
2 1 3 0
3 3 6 -3
4 1 5 2]}
THE SECOND QUESTION FIRST ...AS PER THE SECOND QUESTION ,THIS IS AN AUGMENTED MATRIX.HENCE LAST COLUMN IS CONSTANTS COLUMN.
AND THE FIRST 3 COLUMNS ARE COEFFICIENT MATRIX.BUT THERE ARE 4 ROWS.THAT IS THERE ARE 3 UNKNOWNS AND 4 EQNS.LET US FIND RANK OF ASUGMENTED MATRIX...
1 0 1 1
2 1 3 0
3 3 6 -3
4 1 5 2
R1=R1 1 0 1 1
R2=R2-2R1 .. 0 1 1 -2
R3=R3-3R1 .. 0 3 3 -6
R4=R4-4R1 0 1 1 -2
R1=R1 1 0 1 1
R2=R2 . .. 0 1 1 -2
R3=R3-3R2 .. 0 0 0 0
R4=R4-4R1 0 0 0 0
HENCE RANK = 2
EQNS.2 AND 4 ARE LEADING TO SAME RESULT.
AND EQN 3 AND 4 ARE ALL ZEROES . SO WE CAN DISCARD EQNS.3 AND 4 IN THIS SYSTEM.
SO WE REALLY HAVE 2 INDEPENDENT EQNS. IN 3 UNKNOWNS LEADING TO INFINITE SOLUTIONS.
NOW COMING TO YOUR FIRST QUESTION ,THE DIMENSIONS OF THE BASIS IS NOT GIVEN.
TAKING 4 DIMENSIONAL BASIS FOR 4 EQNS.,WE GET
BUT WE GOT R4-4R1=B+C-2D=R2-2R1 ..OR .R4=R2+2R1
AND ..R3-3R2+3R1=0 .OR .R3=3R2-3R1
THAT IS TAKING R1 AND R2 AS 2 INDEPENDENT EQNS. WE SHOWED R3 AND R4 AS A LINEAR COMBINATION OF
R1 AND R2.
HENCE THE BASIS FOR THESE SET OF 4 EQNS.CAN BE TAKEN AS
R1=A+C+D....AND.....R2=2A+B+3C
