Tutorial 4

1. The matrix A has rank 1 if r = 2 and s = -1, and rank 2 if r ≠ 2 or s ≠ -1. 2. The rank method can be used to solve the system of linear equations x + 9y - z = 27, x - 8y + 16z = 10, and 2x + y + 15z = 37. 3. The linear system x1 - 3x2 = b1, x1 - 2x2 = b2, x1 + x2 = b3, x1 - 4x2 = b4, x1 + 5x2 = b5 will be consistent if the b values satisfy certain conditions
