Study Notes
Linear Algebra - Chapter 2: Systems of Linear Equations
-
Basic Definitions and Solutions:
- A linear equation is of the form a₁x₁ + a₂x₂ + ... + aₙxₙ = b, where a₁, a₂, ..., aₙ, and b are constants.
- A solution to a linear equation is a set of values for unknowns (x₁, x₂, ..., xₙ) that satisfy the equation when substituted.
- A system of linear equations consists of multiple linear equations with the same unknowns.
- A system can be homogeneous where all constant terms are zero, and nonhomogeneous where not all are zero. A homogeneous system always has a solution (zero/trivial solution) and may have infinitely many other solutions depending on the constraints.
- A square linear system has the same number of equations as unknowns.
- Consistent systems have one or infinitely many solutions. Inconsistent systems have no solutions.
-
Matrices:
- Augmented matrix: Includes the coefficients and constants of the system.
- Coefficient matrix: Only the coefficients of unknowns are included in the matrix.
-
Equivalent Systems and Elementary Operations:
- Equivalent systems have the same solutions.
- Elementary row operations modify a system and produce equivalent systems. These include:
- exchanging two equations (interchange)
- multiplying an equation by a nonzero scalar(scaling)
- replacing an equation by the sum of that equation and a multiple of another
-
Small Square Systems (2x2):
- Geometrically, these systems can be visualized as two lines intersecting in a plane, with different scenarios for solutions (unique solution, no solution, and infinitely many).
-
Systems in Triangular and Echelon Forms:
- Triangular form: The leading unknown in each equation appears to the right of the leading unknown in the previous equation.
- Echelon form: A system in echelon form has zeros below the leading unknown of each equation.
- Pivot variables: unknowns in leading position
- Free variables: unknowns that can take any value
-
Gaussian Elimination:
- Algorithm for solving systems of linear equations.
- Two parts: Forward elimination (reduce the augmented to triangular or echelon form) and Back-Substitution (find solutions).
-
Matrices in Echelon Form:
- Zeros appear below the pivots in the matrix
-
Row Canonical Form:
- Each pivot element is 1, and each pivot is the only nonzero element in its column
-
Row Equivalence:
- Two matrices are row equivalent if one can be obtained from the other via a series of row operations
