Step 3 of 7

Augmented matrix associated with the above system is,

Observe that,

How can we imply that -2 _18alpha^2 = 0 when the system says it is equal to 3-9alpha?
Where does that intuition come from?

The objective of the problem is to find where the system has and hasn't a solution. This
means where the bottom row becomes zero. So, you equal both equations to zero and
notice that they become zero when alpha is 1/3, but it has no solution when alpha is
-1/3 since the bottom row becomes 0=6, which is not possible.

(a)

The objective is to find the value(s) of such that the system (i) has no solution.

For , the augmented matrix becomes,

Observe that

Note that

Hence the system (i) has no solution for .

Comments (1)

Shouldn't it be 2 and not -2 when you finish simplifying?

Step 5 of 7

(b)

The objective is to find the value(s) of such that the system (i) has infinite number of
solutions.

For , the augmented matrix becomes,

Note that

Hence the system (i) has infinite number of solutions for .

Step 6 of 7

(c)

By assuming a unique solution exists for a given , find the solution.

From subpart (a), the system has no solution for , from subpart (b), system has infinite

number of solutions for . So, to get unique solution,

Suppose that .

For , the augmented matrix becomes,

…… (ii)

Observe that

Note that , hence the system (i) has unique solution for .

Comment

Step 7 of 7

To obtain that unique solution, write the reduced augmented matrix (ii) in equation notation as
shown:

From the equation get,

From the equation get,

Hence the unique solution is,
