1. Let u,v,z,band kbe as in the following figure. All these vectors belong to R2and all are drawn in “standard
position”.
1A. Find all ways to express bas a linear combination of uand v.
1B. Find all solutions of x1u+x2v=k.
1C. Find one way to write zas a LC of uand v.
1D. Use your answer to 1C to find all solutions of x1u+x2v+x3z=bin parametric vector form x=p+vhwhere pis a
particular solution of x1u+x2v+x3z=band vhrepresents all solutions of the homogeneous equation x1u+x2v+x3z=0.
(Take x3as free). (Hint: From 1A you know a particular solution αu+βv=b. You can add x3(zz) to the left side of
this because it would be “adding nothing”. Now rewrite the second zas in 1C and simplify).
NOTE: This quiz continues on the other side.

  1. Let u, v, z, b and k be as in the following figure. All these vectors belong to R^2 and all are drawn in “standard position”.

1A. Find all ways to express b as a linear combination of u and v.

1B. Find all solutions of x 1 u + x 2 v = k.

1C. Find one way to write z as a LC of u and v.

1D. Use your answer to 1C to find all solutions of x 1 u + x 2 v + x 3 z = b in parametric vector form x = p + vh where p is a particular solution of x 1 u + x 2 v + x 3 z = b and vh represents all solutions of the homogeneous equation x 1 u + x 2 v + x 3 z = 0. (Take x 3 as free). (Hint: From 1A you know a particular solution αu + βv = b. You can add x 3 (z − z) to the left side of this because it would be “adding nothing”. Now rewrite the second z as in 1C and simplify).

2A. Find all solutions of Ax = b and express x in parametric vector form x = p + vh where p is a particular solution of Ax = b and vh represents all solutions of the corresponding homogeneous equation.

2B. It’s a fact that
