ANSWER: (0, 1, 2, 3)
- Determine which of (3, s2, s1, 2), (0, 0, 0 ,0), (2 – s1 – s2, 1 + s1 + s2, s1, s2), and (3 – s1, s1, s2, 2 – s2) form a
solution to the following system for all choices of the free parameters .
ANSWER: (2 – s1 – s2, 1 + s1 + s2, s1, s2)
- Determine if the system is in echelon form, and if so, identify the leading variables and the free variables. If it
is not in echelon form, explain why.
ANSWER: Not in echelon form since is the leading variable of two equations
- Determine if the system is in echelon form, and if so, identify the leading variables and the free variables. If it
is not in echelon form, explain why.

ANSWER:
- Determine the value(s) of so that the following system is consistent.
ANSWER:
- Suppose a system of equations has two free variables. How many leading variables are there?
ANSWER: 10
- True or False: If a linear system has more variables than equations, then the system is inconsistent.
- True
- False
ANSWER: False
- True or False: If a linear system has infinitely many solutions, then there are more variables than equations.
- True
- False
ANSWER: False
- True or False: If a linear system has no free variables, then there exists at most one solution.
- True
- False
ANSWER: True
