Activity 1

  1. Solve the following matrix-vector product equation: $$ \begin{bmatrix} 3 & -1 & 4\\ 6 & -4 & 12\\ -1.5 & -5.5 & 12 \end{bmatrix} \cdot \boldsymbol{x} = \begin{bmatrix} 2\\ -1\\ 5 \end{bmatrix} $$
  2. Find $x_1$, $x_2$, $x_3$ such that $$ x_1 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 1\\ -4\\ 2 \end{bmatrix} + x_2 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} -5\\ 22\\ -14 \end{bmatrix} + x_3 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 3\\ -17\\ 19 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{bmatrix} $$
  3. Find all solutions to the following linear system of equations: $$ \begin{array}{rcrcrcc} x_1 & - & 3 x_2 & + & 2 x_3 & = & 3\\ -4 x_1 & + & 16 x_2 & - & 11 x_3 & = & 2\\ 2 x_1 & - & 14 x_2 & + & 10 x_3 & = & 3 \end{array} $$
