MATH 304Linear AlgebraLecture 3:Applications of systems of linear equations.Systems of linear equationsa11x1+ a12x2+ ··· + a1nxn= b1a21x1+ a22x2+ ··· + a2nxn= b2·········am1x1+ am2x2+ ··· + amnxn= bmHere x1, x2, . . . , xnare variables and aij, bjareconstants.A solution of the system is a common solution of allequations in the system. It is an n-dimensionalvector.Plenty of problems in mathematics and applicationsrequire solving systems of linear equ ations.ApplicationsProblem 1. Find the point of intersection of thelines x − y = −2 and 2x + 3y = 6 in R2.x − y = −22x + 3y = 6Problem 2. Find the point of intersection of theplanes x − y = 2, 2x − y − z = 3, andx + y + z = 6 in R3.x − y = 22x − y − z = 3x + y + z = 6Method of undetermined coefficients often involvessolving systems of linear eq uations.Problem 3. Find a quadratic polynomial p(x)such that p(1) = 4, p(2) = 3, and p(3) = 4.Suppose that p(x) = ax2+ bx + c. Thenp(1) = a + b + c, p(2) = 4a + 2b + c,p(3) = 9a + 3b + c.a + b + c = 44a + 2b + c = 39a + 3b + c = 4Problem 4. EvaluateZ10x(x − 3)(x − 1)2(x + 2)dx.To evaluate the integral, we need to decompose the rationalfunction R(x) =x (x −3)(x −1)2(x +2)into the sum of simple fractions:R(x) =ax − 1+b(x − 1)2+cx + 2=a(x − 1)(x + 2) + b(x + 2) + c(x − 1)2(x − 1)2(x + 2)=(a + c)x2+ (a + b − 2c)x + (−2a + 2b + c)(x − 1)2(x + 2).a + c = 1a + b − 2c = −3−2a + 2b + c = 0Traffic flow450 400610 640520 600Problem.
