linear transformations.

OpenStudy (epikrebel):

What is your question?

http://www.ping.be/~ping1339/lintf.htm

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Let \[T:R^{4} \rightarrow R^{3}\] T(x,y,z,t)=( x+3y+5z-2t, 3x-2y-7z+5t, 2x+y+t ) Solve the linear problem \[ T( \xi )=\beta\] where \[\beta= (11,0,7)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@beketso is the best link that can clear all yur doubts that you have related linear transformation...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It is a question to solve three equations in 4 unknown

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Try to find x ,y and z in terms of t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you mean x+3y+5z=2t 3x-2y-7z=-5t 2x+y=-t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

almost there. Do not forget \(\beta \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i get x=t ,y=-2t ,z=t.what do i do with beta?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x+3y+5z=2t +11 3x-2y-7z=-5t+0 2x+y=7-t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i now get x=t+2 ,y=-2t+3 , z=t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@eliassaab ,why did you add coordinates of beta to each equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I am now getting confused .i'm getting x=2 ,y=3-t , z=t

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

OK I see that people have already guided you but abandoned you. Sorry about that. It's sad that people can't finish the help they started to give, leaving the person needing help stranded. They haven't misguided you however. Thus we will continue where they left off. Let's suppose we begin with you giving me an idea of where you may be lost.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is my last post right?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Give me a minute. I will check it.

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Your x, y, and z in terms of t are not correct. If you show me your steps which led you to this conclusion, then I can show the careless errors which may have resulted in confusion.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 3 5 -2 | 11 3 -2 -7 5 | 0 2 1 0 1 | 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i reduce the matrix

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 3 5 -2 | 11 0 -11 -22 11|-33 0 5 -10 5|-15

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Since you desire to solve for x, y, and z in terms of t, the t then should be part of the constant matrix rather than the coefficient matrix.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the constant matrix?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

The coefficient matrix which is to the left of the imaginary line | of the augmented matrix contains the numerical coefficients of the variables x, y, and z on the left side of the equations. The constant matrix is the matrix to the right of the imaginary line | of the augmented matrix and consists of the constants on the right side of the equations.

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Here t is treated as a constant and thus is part of the constant matrix.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if t is part of the constant matrix,the do i add the coefficients of t to the coordinate of beta?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Yes so then to the right of | you have 11 + 2t - 5t 7 - t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will i have 1 3 5 |13 3 -2 -7 |-5 2 1 0 |-6

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

No, you shall have 1 3 5 | 11 + 2t 3 -2 -7 | -5t 2 1 0 | 7 - t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then i solve for x,y and z and then get the answer in terms of t?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Yes but first it shall be easier if column 1 and column 3 are interchanged.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@calculusfunctions ,thank u a lot.i'm solving right now

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

No thanks needed! Your correct solution and understanding of the concepts so that you may succeed in solving future problems independently, are thanks enough.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

my augmented matrix reduces to 1 0 1 |2-t 0 1 2 |3+t 0 0 0 |0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

meaning x=2+z-t, y=3-2z+t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

made a mistake my matrix reduces to 1 0 -1 |2-t 0 1 2 |t+3 0 0 0 |0

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

If the last row is a zero, then 0z = 0 so then z = k; k ∈ ℝ.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that will mean x=2+k-t ,y=3-2k+t and z=k

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

I haven't actually checked if your final answer is correct. Give me a few minutes and I will do so.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@REMAINDER

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

@beketso sorry but I was double checking the tedious calculations and your answer is incorrect.

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

I was also solving it myself which is why it took some time. The correct answer should be x = k y = 7 - 2k - t z = -2 + k + t

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay.i will try to do it again.does the fact that row 3 was exchanged with row 1 affect the solution?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Yes it does.

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

@beketso do you need me to stick around or are you now feeling confident?

OpenStudy (calculusfunctions):

Since there is a non-response, I shall assume my help is no longer needed here. Bye!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@calculusfunctions thank you
