% MATLAB Problem Set 1 % (due Monday Feb. 13 in section) echo on % with "echo on", matlab exhibits the commands as well as its output format compact % "format compact" just squeezes out some extra lines of space rand('state',sum(100+clock)) % the last command resets the initial state of randomization % Problem 1 % For the matrix A = [2,4,6,8;1,3,5,7;2,9,2,11;1,1,1,1], % (i) find the reduced row echelon form using rref(A) % (ii)find all solutions to the equation Ax=b where % b is the transpose of [1,1,1,1] by examining the % rref for an augmented matrix. % (iii) find all solutions to the equation Ax=c where % c is the transpose of [6,4,11,2] by examining the % rref for an augmented matrix. % [Above: "find all solutions" means to show there is no % solution, or to write the solution in the parametric form % of #4 on p.54 of Lay's book % 1(i) A = [2,4,6,8;1,3,5,7;2,9,2,11;1,1,1,1] rref(A) %1(ii) We let B be the appropriate augmented matrix: B = [2,4,6,8,1;1,3,5,7,1;2,9,2,11,1;1,1,1,1,1] % NOW PUT YOUR ANSWER TO 1(ii) HERE. % 1(iii) We let C be the appropriate augmented matrix, % and compute the RREF: C = [2,4,6,8,6;1,3,5,7,4;2,9,2,11,11;1,1,1,1,2] rref(C) % NOW PUT YOUR ANSWER TO 1(iii) HERE. %Problem 2 %Solve the same problem, where now A is a random matrix A and a %random column vector b of appropriate size. (Here, %generate the augmented matrix B as a random matrix B=rand(4,6) and let %b be the last column. B=rand(4,6) rref(B) % PUT YOUR ANSWER TO PROBLEM 2 HERE, BY ADDING * LINES % DIARY OUTPUT. % Problem 3 % Solve Problem 34 of Section 1.2. % FOR THIS ONE YOU WILL HAVE TO WRITE OUT A SLIGHTLY TEDIOUS % SYSTEM OF EQUATIONS, AND THEN MAKE IT A MATLAB PROBLEM. % Problem 4 % Generate a random matrix D = rand(4,7). % (i) Examine rref(D) to determine whether the rows of D are linearly % independent. % (ii) Do you need to know the rref of a 5x7 % matrix D to know whether the columns of D are linearly independent? % PIECE OF CAKE! echo off
