Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related Pre CAL.134 Solving Systems Using Matrices and Technology skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

For the system: (1) kx + 3y = -1; (2) 3x + 3y + 1z = 7; (3) 3x + 3z = 8, for what value of k does the system fail to have a unique solution? (Enter a number.)

Solution & Explanation:A unique solution requires the 3x3 coefficient matrix to be invertible (det!= 0). Expanding the determinant along row 1 gives det = k*(3*3) - (3)*(3*3 - (1)*(3)). Set det=0: k*(9) = 3*(6) => k = 18/9 = 2.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

After row-reducing, you obtain the RREF augmented matrix [1 0 2 3|-2; 0 1 1 -1|0; 0 0 0 0|0; 0 0 0 0|0]. Which parametric solution set is correct? Let z = s and w = t.

A(x,y,z,w) = (-2 + (2)s + (3)t, 0 - (1)s - (-1)t, s, t)

B(x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (2)s - (3)t, 0 - (1)s - (-1)t, s, t)

C(x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (1)s - (-1)t, 0 - (2)s - (3)t, s, t)

D(x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (2)t - (3)s, 0 - (1)t - (-1)s, s, t)

Solution & Explanation:Read the first two rows as equations: x + (2)z + (3)w = -2 and y + (1)z + (-1)w = After row-reducing, you obtain the RREF augmented matrix [1 0 2 3|-2; 0 1 1 -1|0; 0 0 0 0|0; 0 0 0 0|0]. Which parametric solution set is correct? Let z = s and w = t. A) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 + (2)s + (3)t, 0 - (1)s - (-1)t, s, t) B) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (2)s - (3)t, 0 - (1)s - (-1)t, s, t) C) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (1)s - (-1)t, 0 - (2)s - (3)t, s, t) D) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (2)t - (3)s, 0 - (1)t - (-1)s, s, t). Let z=s and w=t, then x=-2-(2)s-(3)t and y=After row-reducing, you obtain the RREF augmented matrix [1 0 2 3|-2; 0 1 1 -1|0; 0 0 0 0|0; 0 0 0 0|0]. Which parametric solution set is correct? Let z = s and w = t. A) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 + (2)s + (3)t, 0 - (1)s - (-1)t, s, t) B) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (2)s - (3)t, 0 - (1)s - (-1)t, s, t) C) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (1)s - (-1)t, 0 - (2)s - (3)t, s, t) D) (x,y,z,w) = (-2 - (2)t - (3)s, 0 - (1)t - (-1)s, s, t)-(1)s-(-1)t.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

The RREF of an augmented matrix is [1 0 -2|3; 0 1 -2|-4; 0 0 0|0]. If z = -4, what is x?

Solution & Explanation:From RREF: x + (-2)z = 3 and y + (-2)z = -4, with z free. Substitute z=-4: x=3-(-2)*-4=-5, y=-4-(-2)*-4=-12. So x=-5.
