Exercise 3

Avg difficulty 2.5

For both parts of this exercise, give a geometric description of sets of the vectors b\bvec and include a sketch.

  1. For which vectors b\bvec in R2\real^2 is the equation [3−6−24]x=b\left[\begin{array}{rr} 3 & -6 \\ -2 & 4 \\ \end{array}\right] \xvec = \bvec consistent?

  2. For which vectors b\bvec in R2\real^2 is the equation [3−6−22]x=b\left[\begin{array}{rr} 3 & -6 \\ -2 & 2 \\ \end{array}\right] \xvec = \bvec consistent?
