Linear Equation to Matrix form












0












$begingroup$


Hey everyone I'm practicing some linear equation matrix questions, so far they're easy to construct, but I am completely lost on this one since I cannot use the method of putting them in separate columns like the normal technique used. Where do I start with this question, please anyone give me guidance?



(a) Consider the system of linear equations given by



$_1 = −x_2$



$200 x_3 = 200$



$x_3 = 4 − 3 x_4$



$100 x_2 + 100 x_3 = 100$



(i) Write the above system of equations in matrix form.

    So basically, the first column of your matrix corresponds to the coefficients of the $x_1$ variable. So it would look like $[1, 0, 0, 0]$ as the first column. Same for second, third, ...

Use $1x_1 +(-1)x_2 + 0x_3 + 0x_4 = 0$ for the first row (that is $(1, -1, 0, 0)$), $0x_1 +0x_2 + 200x_3 + 0x_4 = 200$ for the second, $0x_1 +0x_2 + 1x_3 + 3x_4 = 4$ for the third, and $0x_1 +100x_2 + 100x_3 + 0x_4 = 100$ for the last.

Welcome to Math.SE. I hope you are not asking your HW question.



You can collate all the variables to one-side and constants to the other as



$begin{bmatrix} 1&1&0&0\0&0&200&0\0&0&1&3\0&100&100&0end{bmatrix}begin{bmatrix}x_1\x_2\x_3\x_4end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}0\200\4\100end{bmatrix},$



thereby, forming a set of linear equation in a matrix form $Ax=b.$

    Welcome to Math.SE. I hope you are not asking your HW question.



    You can collate all the variables to one-side and constants to the other as



    $begin{bmatrix} 1&1&0&0\0&0&200&0\0&0&1&3\0&100&100&0end{bmatrix}begin{bmatrix}x_1\x_2\x_3\x_4end{bmatrix}=begin{bmatrix}0\200\4\100end{bmatrix},$



    thereby, forming a set of linear equation in a matrix form $Ax=b.$
