Here is a breakdown of the tasks you requested:

Uppgift A (5)

This task involves solving a system of linear equations:

2x + y - 4z = -2 \\ x - 3y - 9z = 6 \\ x + ay + bz = -2 \end{cases}$$ To solve this, follow these steps: 1. Express the system in matrix form. 2. Perform Gaussian elimination to reduce the system. 3. Determine the values of $$a$$ and $$b$$ for which the system has infinitely many solutions (this occurs when the system is underdetermined). 4. Solve for the general solution once $$a$$ and $$b$$ are known. ### **Uppgift B (3)** This is a basis change problem, where we need to express the new coordinates $$(x'_1, x'_2, x'_3)$$ in terms of the original coordinates $$(x_1, x_2, x_3)$$, given the basis transformation: $$\begin{cases} e'_1 = e_1 + 3e_2 + 3e_3 \\ e'_2 = 2e_1 + e_2 \\ e'_3 = e_2 + e_3 \end{cases}$$ We must: 1. Set up the transformation matrix from the old basis to the new one. 2. Invert the transformation matrix to express the new coordinates in terms of the old ones. ### **Uppgift C (3)** This problem involves finding the point where a normal line through a given point $$P$$ intersects the plane: Plane equation: $$2x + y - 2z + 1 = 0$$ Given $$P = (-3, 0, 2)$$, the steps are: 1. Find the normal vector to the plane. 2. Write the parametric equation of the line passing through $$P$$ in the direction of the normal. 3. Solve for the parameter where the line intersects the plane. 4. Compute the coordinates of the intersection. ### **Uppgift D (6)** Here, you are asked to calculate the area of a triangle with vertices: - One at $$(1, 2, 3)$$, - Another at the mirror image of $$P = (13, 10, 7)$$ across the plane $$x - z = 0$$, - The third at the point where the plane $$\pi: x + 2y - 2z = -4$$ intersects the line given by: $$\begin{cases} x = 6 \\ y = t \\ z = 17 - 2t \end{cases}$$ The steps to solve this are: 1. Find the mirror image of $$P$$ across the plane. 2. Find the intersection of the line with the plane $$\pi$$. 3. Use the three vertices to compute the area of the triangle using the cross-product method. Let me know if you'd like me to solve any specific step in detail or go through the solution process further! ### Relative questions: 1. How can we determine if a system of equations has no solutions or infinitely many? 2. What is the importance of the transformation matrix in basis change problems? 3. How do you derive the equation of a line from a point and a normal vector? 4. How do you compute the mirror image of a point across a plane in 3D space? 5. What is the role of the cross-product in finding the area of a triangle? #### Tip: When working with systems of equations, always check for special cases such as parallel planes or dependent equations, which may indicate infinitely many solutions or no solutions at all.
