Question statement

Write the following equations as a matrix equation

$Av=b$ for a matrix

$A$ and column vectors

$v$ and

$b$

$\begin{eqnarray*} \simplify[std]{{a}x+{b}y}&=&\var{c}\\ \simplify[std]{{a1}x+{b1}y}&=&\var{c1} \end{eqnarray*}$

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Gap-fill

Ask the student a question, and give any hints about how they should answer this part.

$A =$ Gap 0.

$v = \;\;\Bigg($	Gap 1.	$\Bigg)$
	Gap 2.

$b =$ Gap 3.

Advice

a)

The equations can be written in the matrix form:

$\begin{pmatrix} \var{a} & \var{b}\\ \var{a1}&\var{b1} \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} x \\ y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \var{c} \\ \var{c1} \end{pmatrix}$

b)

Since $\mathrm{det}(A) = \simplify[]{{a}*{b1}-{b}*{a1}={dA}} \neq 0$ , $A$ is invertible and

$A^{-1} = \begin{pmatrix} \simplify[std]{{b1}/{dA}}&\simplify[std]{{-b}/{dA}}\\\simplify[std]{{-a1}/{dA}}&\simplify[std]{{a}/{dA}} \end{pmatrix}$

c)

We have:

$\begin{eqnarray*} A^{-1}b &=& \begin{pmatrix} \simplify[std]{{b1}/{dA}}&\simplify[std]{{-b}/{dA}}\\\simplify[std]{{-a1}/{dA}}&\simplify[std]{{a}/{dA}} \end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix} \var{c}\\\var{c1}\end{pmatrix} \\ &=& \begin{pmatrix} \simplify[std]{{c*b1-c1*b}/{dA}}\\\simplify[std]{{c1*a-c*a1}/{dA}}\end{pmatrix} \end{eqnarray*}$

d)

Note that $Av = b \Rightarrow v = A^{-1}b$ hence we can read the solution from the last part as this gives:

$\begin{pmatrix} x\\y \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} \simplify[std]{{c*b1-c1*b}/{dA}}\\ \simplify[std]{{c1*a-c*a1}/{dA}}\end{pmatrix}$

Hence

$\begin{eqnarray*} x&=& \simplify[std]{{c*b1-c1*b}/{dA}}\\ y&=& \simplify[std]{{c1*a-c*a1}/{dA}} \end{eqnarray*}$
