Math Problem Statement

Tentukan basis dan dimensi dari sistem persamaan berikut: x1 + 3x2 - 2x3 + 2x5 = 0 2x1 + 6x2 - 5x3 - 2x4 + 4x5 - 3x6 = 0 5x3 + 10x4 + 15x6 = 0 2x1 + 6x2 + 8x4 + 4x5 + 18x6 = 0

Solution

To determine the basis and dimension of the solution space for this system of equations, we will approach the problem as follows:

  1. Form the Augmented Matrix: Convert the given system of linear equations into an augmented matrix.

  2. Row Reduction: Perform Gaussian elimination (or row reduction) to bring the matrix into reduced row echelon form (RREF).

  3. Identify the Basis and Dimension:

    • The number of leading 1's in the RREF will give the rank of the matrix.
    • The dimension of the solution space (nullity) can be found by subtracting the rank from the total number of variables.
    • The basis for the solution space will be the set of vectors corresponding to the free variables.

Given equations:

x_1 + 3x_2 - 2x_3 + 2x_5 = 0 \\ 2x_1 + 6x_2 - 5x_3 - 2x_4 + 4x_5 - 3x_6 = 0 \\ 5x_3 + 10x_4 + 15x_6 = 0 \\ 2x_1 + 6x_2 + 8x_4 + 4x_5 + 18x_6 = 0 \end{cases}$$ I'll proceed with these steps and show you the results.The reduced row echelon form (RREF) of the matrix is: $$\begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 & 0 & 4 & 2 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1 & 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{pmatrix}$$ From this result: - The **rank** of the matrix is $$3$$, as there are three leading 1's. - The **dimension of the solution space** (nullity) is also $$3$$, calculated as $$6 - 3 = 3$$ since there are 6 variables in total. This means that the solution space has a dimension of 3, and a basis for this space can be found by expressing the free variables in terms of the pivot variables. Would you like further details on how to determine the basis vectors? Here are some related questions you might find helpful: 1. How can we interpret the solution space geometrically in terms of subspaces? 2. What are the implications of the rank and nullity theorem in this context? 3. Can we find an explicit set of basis vectors for the solution space? 4. How does the structure of the system change if we add more equations? 5. What is the relationship between the null space and the column space of this matrix? **Tip:** In systems of equations, the rank-nullity theorem provides a quick way to understand the dimensions of both the solution and column spaces.
