Questiоn 1: (5 mаrks) Find the vаlues оf fоr which the system of equаtions has: (a) no solution. (b) exactly one solution. (c) infinitely many solutions. (d) When there is exactly one solution, state the value of in terms of . (You must show all working out) Question 2: Gaussian & Gauss-Jordan Elimination [14 Marks] Consider the system of linear equations: (a) Write down the augmented matrix corresponding to the system. [1 Marks] (b) Use elementary row operations to reduce the augmented matrix into Row Echelon Form (REF) using Gaussian elimination. Clearly indicate each row operation performed (e.g., ) [6 Marks] (c) Continue row operations to convert the matrix into Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF). [4 Marks] (d) State whether the system is consistent or inconsistent. State the rank of and the rank of , and write out the final solution for . [3 Marks] Question 3: System Analysis with Parameters [13 Marks] Consider the linear system containing a real parameter : (a) Write the augmented matrix and reduce it to Row Echelon Form (REF) in terms of . [5 Marks] (b) Determine all values of for which the system has: (i) A unique solution. [3 Marks] (ii) Infinitely many solutions. [3 Marks] (iii) No solution. [2 Marks] Question 4: Network Flow Application [16 Marks] A city traffic network with continuous traffic flow through an intersection grid is described by the following linear system, where represent vehicle flow rates (cars per hour) on four connected streets: (a) Write down the augmented matrix for this system. [2 Marks] (b) Compute the Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF) of the augmented matrix. [5 Marks] (c) Identify the basic variables, free variable(s), and the rank of the coefficient matrix. Write the complete general solution set in parametric form. [5 Marks] (d) If road construction completely blocks street (such that ), determine the flow rates on the remaining streets . Are all flow values physically possible? Explain briefly. [4 Marks]
