Q. 1 Examine whether following vectors are linearly dependent or independent.

1) [3, 1, -4], [2, 2, -3], [0, 4, -1]

2) [2, 1, 1], [1, 3, 1], [1, 2, -1]

3) [1, 1, -1], [2, -3, 5], [2, -1, 4]

Q. 2 Find q so that [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6] and [7, 8, q] are linearly dependent.

Q. 3 Using matrices, solve following systems of linear equations.

1) 2x + 3y + z = 8, 4x + 7y + 5z = 20, 2z – 2y = 0.

2) 2x – 3y = 3, 4x – 5y + z = 7, 2x – y – 3z = 5.

3) 4x – 2y + 6z = 8, x + y – 3z = -1, 15x – 3y + 9z = 21.

Q. 4 Investigate for what values of q and t, the equations 2x + 3y + 5z = 9, 7x + 3y – 2z = 8 and

2x + 3y + qz = t have i) no solution, ii) unique solution, iii) infinite number of solutions.
