Test #2 review part 2

Post due Sunday, November 3

The instructions for this activity are similar to those for the Test #1 review activity.

Test #2 is scheduled for Monday, November 4. As a class, you will create a review sheet here on the OpenLab. Each student will solve one problem and post their full solution on the OpenLab. You may take a photo of your hand-written work and place it directly in your post, or you may upload it to Dropbox or Google drive (or some other file-sharing platform) and copy-paste the link to your photo in your OpenLab post.

Topics:

  • Sections 3.1, 3,2, 4.1 to 4.8 (note: you may need some material that was covered on Test #1 as well)
  • Make sure all the topics are represented; don’t solve a problem that one of your classmates has already posted the solution for.

Resources: choose one problem to solve from:

Your post must include:

  1. Where you found the problem (for example, “textbook homework exercise 4.4.1”)
  2. Your complete solution, showing all your work
  3. Title: Test #2 Review

Test #1 solutions problem #6a & #6b

6(a). True – The transpose of an invertible matrix is an invertible matrix
Ex:

A=

det(A) = -2*-1/2 – 3/2 = -1/2

A^T=

det(A^T) = -2*-1/2 – 3/2 = -1/2

6(b). False – Every system of linear equations has exactly one solution

Infinite Solutions:

x+y=1, 2x+2y=2

2x+2y=2 is basically x+y=1 when divided by 2.

Graph:

No Solutions:

x+y=0, x+y=1

One Solutions:

x+2y=1, 2x+2y=2
