GENERAL NOTICE

This is a little bit in advance, but I wanted to let everyone know that my servers will be
undergoing some maintenance on May 17 and May 18 during 8:00 AM CST until 2:00 PM
CST. Hopefully the only inconvenience will be the occasional “lost/broken” connection that
should be fixed by simply reloading the page. Outside of that the maintenance should
(fingers crossed) be pretty much “invisible” to everyone.

ASSIGNMENT PROBLEMS NOTICE


Please do not email me to get solutions and/or answers to these problems. I will not give
them out under any circumstances nor will I respond to any requests to do so. The intent of
these problems is for instructors to use them for assignments and having
solutions/answers easily available defeats that purpose.

Chapter 7 : Systems Of Equations - Assignment Problems


Here are a set of assignment problems for the Systems of Equations chapter of the Algebra
notes. Please note that these problems do not have any solutions available. These are
intended mostly for instructors who might want a set of problems to assign for turning in.
Having solutions available (or even just final answers) would defeat the purpose the problems.

If you are looking for some practice problems (with solutions available) please check out the
Practice Problems. There you will find a set of problems that should give you quite a bit
practice.

Here is a list of all the sections for which assignment problems have been written as well as a
brief description of the material covered in the notes for that particular section.

Linear Systems with Two Variables – In this section we will solve systems of two equations
and two variables. We will use the method of substitution and method of elimination to solve
the systems in this section. We will also introduce the concepts of inconsistent systems of
equations and dependent systems of equations.

Linear Systems with Three Variables – In this section we will work a couple of quick
examples illustrating how to use the method of substitution and method of elimination
introduced in the previous section as they apply to systems of three equations.

Augmented Matrices – In this section we will look at another method for solving systems. We
will introduce the concept of an augmented matrix. This will allow us to use the method of
Gauss-Jordan elimination to solve systems of equations. We will use the method with systems
of two equations and systems of three equations.

More on the Augmented Matrix – In this section we will revisit the cases of inconsistent and
dependent solutions to systems and how to identify them using the augmented matrix method.
Nonlinear Systems – In this section we will take a quick look at solving nonlinear systems of
equations. A nonlinear system of equations is a system in which at least one of the equations
is not linear, i.e. has degree of two or more. Note as well that the discussion here does not
cover all the possible solution methods for nonlinear systems. Solving nonlinear systems is
often a much more involved process than solving linear systems.
