    MASSEY UNIVERSITY

    TEST TWO FOR


    160.102 ALGEBRA
    SEMESTER ONE 2040

    There are FOUR (4) questions.

    Answer ALL questions.

    Each question is worth 10 marks. Total marks: 40.

    Write clearly, show all working and use correct logical reasoning.

    UNSUPPORTED ANSWERS WILL NOT RECEIVE ANY MARKS.

    Question 1: [4 + 4 + 2 = 10 marks]

    based on question 3, 2018, 160133

    (a) Consider the system of equations

    x1 − x3 − 6x4 = 0
    2x1 + x2 + x3 + 3x4 = 7
    3x2 + x3 + 5x4 = 5

    Write the augmented matrix for the system. Use row operations to convert the
    matrix to reduced row echelon form (rref), and hence solve the system. Show all of
    the steps.

     
    0 x 1
    (b) Consider the matrix B =  2 1 0  where x 6= 0.
    1 0 x1

    (i) Assuming that B −1 exists, use the relationship [B|I] ∼ [I|B −1 ] to find the
    inverse for B.

    (ii) When is B singular, i.e., when does the inverse of B not exist?

    (c) Assuming that the matrices W , X, Y and Z are n × n and non-singular, and I
    is n × n identity matrix, make X the subject of the following expression.

    Y T + I = Y XW −1 Z + W T Z

    Simplify your answer.
