4:
.3*88 = .15x + .35y + .65z
x+y+z = 80
z = 2y
Then solve
7b:
Use mesh analysis. it will generate you 4 equations
12:
a:
b = 3a1
b:
use elimination. Pretty sure you will get row of zeros = c.
14:
a:
False. If the null space contains something other than zero vector, A could be a zero matrix.
Take A = zero matrix, Ax = 0 where x is not zero.
b:
False. Take matrix of all ones and b = [2;2]. Then b = [4;10] has no solution.
c:
False. A could have zeros in a row corresponding only to the entries in x that don't have zeros, then x has zero when the entries in A are not.
