Msce504b PS 1 PDF

This document provides instructions for a problem set involving matrix structural analysis. Students are asked to: 1) Solve a system of 4 equations with 4 unknowns using Gaussian Elimination and Gauss Jordan Elimination. 2) Obtain the inverse of the coefficient matrix using two methods. 3) Write the echelon form of the equivalent homogeneous system using Gaussian Elimination if all equations are set equal to zero. 4) Determine the result of a cubic function applied to the original coefficient matrix.

MSCE 504b.

Matrix Structural Analysis

PROBLEM SET NO. 1 REVIEW OF MATRICES

INSTRUCTIONS: Analyse each problem carefully. Show COMPLETE solution.

1. Solve for the variables using Gaussian Elimination and Gauss Jordan Elimination.
In both cases, use the “augmented matrix form” of the linear system.

x + 2y – 4z + 3w = 4
2x -3y + 5z + w = 7
2x -7y + 9z -2w = 8
3x – 6y +3z + 3w = -1
2. Refer to the Linear System of Problem 1. Obtain the Inverse of the “coefficient
matrix” A using 2 methods.

3. Refer to Problem 1. If the four equations are all equated to zero, the system
becomes “homogenous”. What would be the “echelon form” of the equivalent
homogenous linear system using Gauss Elimination?

4. Using the “coefficient matrix” A of Problem 1, determine f(A) if

f(x) = x3 – 5x2 + 2x - 1
