1) Let v_1 = 1 v_2 = -3 and y = h.
[ 0 ] [ 8 ] [-5]
[-2 ] [ 8 ] [-3]
For what value of h is y in the plane generated by v_1 and v_2?
2) Compute the product why (a) the definitions and (b) the raw vector rule.
8 3 -4 * 1
5 1 2 * 1
* 1
3) Write the given linear system first as a vector equation and then as a matrix.
8x_1 - x_2 = 4
5x_1 + 4x_2 = 1
x_1 - 3x_2 = 2
4) Given A and B, write the augmented matrix for the linear system that corresponds to the matrix eg. Ax = b. Then solve the system and write the solution as a vector
A = 1 2 1
-3 -1 2
0 5 3
b = 0
1
-1
