Chapter 1: Matrices and Systems of Equations
A system is a set of unknown variables Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n} and functions Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_1(x_1, x_2, \ldots, x_n) = 0, f_2(\ldots), \ldots} .
- Linear functions are function for which the exponent on all unknown variables (x's) is 1. Can be plotted as a line/plane in 2D/3D space
- Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f(x_1, \ldots, x_n) = a_1x_1+a_2x_2+\dots+a_nx_n + b}
- Quadratic functons are non-linear functions for which the largest exponent on all x's is 2
Consider systems of linear equations, each function is often written in form Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle a_1x_1+a_2x_2+\dots+a_nx_n=b}

There are Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m} equations and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle n} unknowns. We will refer to this system as a Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m \times n} system.
Rules
- The order in which any two equations are written may be interchanged
- Both sides of an equation may be multiplied by the same non-zero real number
- A multiple of one equation may be added to / subtracted from another equation
These are more applicable to lesser systems of equations, and leads to a system that is equivalent to the original.
Examples
- Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{cases} x_1 + 2x_2 = 5 \\ 2x_1 + 3x_2 = 8 \end{cases}} (2 × 2, the unique solution to which is Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x = (1,2)} )
- Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{cases} x_1 - x_2 + x_3 = 2 \\ 2x_1 + x_2 - x_3 = 4 \end{cases}} (2 × 3, solutions are Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \left\{(2,\beta,\beta) \mid \forall \beta \in \mathbb{R}\right\} }
- Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{cases} x_1 + x_2 = 2 \\ x_1 - x_2 = 1 \\ x_1 = 4 \end{cases}} (3 × 2, no solution that satisfies answers)
In examples 1 & 2, the systems were consistent, but since the solution set for 3 was empty, it is inconsistent
2 × 2 Systems
In general, Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{cases} a_{11}x_1 + a_{12}x_2 = b_1 \\ a_{21}x_1 + a_{22}x_2 = b_2 \end{cases}}
Plotting each equation yields a line.
- If a unique solution exists, it will be at the coordinates of the lines' intersection ({x_1}^0, {x_2}^0
- If empty solutions (inconsistent), both lines will be parallel
- If infinite solutions, both lines are the same line
Equivalent Systems
Given 2 systems I and II, with potentially different number of equations but same number of unknowns (Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m \times n} and Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle k \times n} ), they are called equivalent if they share the same solution set.
(Prof's notation: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle I \sim II} )
Consider the following systems:
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{cases} 3x_1 + 2x_2 - x_3 = -2 \\ x_2 = 3 \\ 2x_3 = 4 \end{cases}}
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{cases} 3x_1 + 2x_2 - x_3 = -2 \\ -3x_1 - x_2 + x_3 = 5 \\ 3x_1 + 2x_2 + x_3 = 2 \end{cases}}
The two systems are equivalent because they both have unique solutions (-2, 3, 2)
Suppose we take two equations Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_i, f_j, 0 \le i,j \le m} from a Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m \times n} system and replace Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_j} by Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_j + \alpha f_i, \alpha \in \mathbb{R}} , the original system and the new system are equivalent. The opposite direction also applies: Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle f_j = f_j - \alpha f_i}
Strict Triangular Form
Given a Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m \times n} system of equations where Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle m = n} , in Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle k} th equation, the first Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle k-1} variables/coefficient are all zero and the coefficient of Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle x_k} is not 0
Failed to parse (MathML with SVG or PNG fallback (recommended for modern browsers and accessibility tools): Invalid response ("Math extension cannot connect to Restbase.") from server "https://wikimedia.org/api/rest_v1/":): {\displaystyle \begin{align} a_{11}\,x_1+\dots+a_{1n}\,x_n &= b_1 \\ 0x_1 + a_{22}\,x_2+\dots+a_{2n}\,x_n &= b_2 \\ 0x_1 + 0x_2 + a_{33}\,x_3+\dots+a_{3n}\,x_n &= b_3 \\ \dots \\ 0x_1 + 0x_2 + \dots + 0x_{n-1} + a_{mn}\,x_n &= b_{m-1} \end{align}}
There is always a unique solution to a system of this form.
Solve the bottom 1-term equation, then plug that back into the previous equation, and continue back-substitution until all equations are satisfied.
Goal of rules is to reduce a system into strict triangular form:

Solution is (3,-2,4)
