QUESTION 1
(a) (i) No solution: The 𝑟𝑟𝑒𝑓 matrix has a row with nonzero number
(leading entry) in the last (augmented) column of [𝐴|𝑏] and 0′𝑠 in
all of the rows of the coefficient part.
(ii) Infinitely many solutions: The number of variables in the
coefficient part of [𝐴|𝑏] is more than the number of nonzero rows
in the last (augmented) column of [𝐴|𝑏].
(iii) Unique solution: The number of variables in the coefficient part
of [𝐴|𝑏 is equal to the number of nonzero rows equal to the in the
last (augmented) column of [𝐴|𝑏].
⟹ (𝑎 + 𝑏 − 1)(3) − (0)(0) = 0
3−3𝑏 3−3𝑎
3𝑎 + 3𝑏 − 3 = 0 ∴ 𝑎 = 3
𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑏= 3

𝐵=[ ] ⟹ det(𝐴) 𝑜𝑟 |𝐴| = 0

Omit last row since it imposes no restrictions on 𝑥, 𝑦 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑧. Thus
the corresponding system of equations is:
𝑥 + 2𝑦 + 3𝑧 = 0
𝑦 + 2𝑧 = −1
Solving for leading variables we obtain:
𝑥 = −2𝑦 − 3𝑧
𝑦 = −1 − 2𝑧
Let 𝑧 = 𝑡 (z is a free variable and can be treated as a parameter
and assigned an arbitrary value t), hence 𝒙 = 𝒕 + 𝟐, 𝒚 = −𝟐𝒕 −
𝟏 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒛 = 𝒕 is the general solution.

(f) The equation of a plane in 3D space is defined with normal vector
(perpendicular to the plane) and a known point on the plane (Point-Normal
Equation).
Find the dot product of the normal vector and a known point on the
plane.
This dot product becomes the equation of the plane and is calculated as
follows:
𝑎𝑥 + 𝑏𝑦 + 𝑐𝑧 + 𝑑 = 0
𝑖 𝑗 𝑘
𝑣 𝑥 𝑤 = |2 3 0| = (3.2 − 2.0)𝑖 − (2.2 − 0.0)𝑗 + (2.2 − 0.3)𝑘 = 6𝑖 − 4𝑗 + 4𝑘 = (6, −4,4)

So (6, −4,4). (𝑥 − 2, 𝑦 − 0, 𝑧 − 1) = 0
⟹ 6(x − 2) + −4(y) + 4(z − 1)
⟹ 6𝑥 − 12 − 4𝑦 + 4𝑧 − 4
⟹ 6x − 4y + 4z − 16
