Topic3x3 Matrices
TypeGeneral solution with parameters
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a comprehensive Further Maths question requiring rank determination for different parameter values, solving systems with parameters, finding general solutions with free variables, and proving non-existence of solutions. While the techniques are standard for FP1 (row reduction, rank-nullity), the multi-part structure with parameter cases and the need to handle consistency conditions makes it moderately challenging, above average difficulty but not requiring exceptional insight.

10 The matrix \(\mathbf { A }\) is defined by $$\mathbf { A } = \left( \begin{array} { r r r } 1 & 5 & 1 \\ 1 & - 2 & - 2 \\ 2 & 3 & \theta \end{array} \right)$$
  1. (a) Find the rank of \(\mathbf { A }\) when \(\theta \neq - 1\).
    (b) Find the rank of \(\mathbf { A }\) when \(\theta = - 1\).
    Consider the system of equations $$\begin{aligned} x + 5 y + z & = - 1 \\ x - 2 y - 2 z & = 0 \\ 2 x + 3 y + \theta z & = \theta \end{aligned}$$
  2. Solve the system of equations when \(\theta \neq - 1\).
  3. Find the general solution when \(\theta = - 1\).
  4. Show that if \(\theta = - 1\) and \(\phi \neq - 1\) then \(\mathbf { A } \mathbf { x } = \left( \begin{array} { r } - 1 \\ 0 \\ \phi \end{array} \right)\) has no solution.
