1.2 The Geometry of Linear Equations 7

We use parentheses and commas when the components are listed horizontally, and

square brackets (with no commas) when a column vector is printed vertically. What

really matters is addition of vectors and multiplication by a scalar (a number). In Figure

1.4a you see a vector addition, component by component:

Also in the right-hand ﬁgure is one of the central ideas of linear algebra. It uses both

of the basic operations; vectors are multiplied by numbers and then added. The result is

called a linear combination, and this combination solves our equation:

Equation (2) asked for multipliers u, v, w that produce the right side b. Those numbers

are u = 1, v = 1, w = 2. They give the correct combination of the columns. They also

gave the point (1,1, 2) in the row picture (where the three planes intersect).

1.2 The Geometry of Linear Equations 9

Another singular system, close to this one, has an inﬁnity of solutions. When the

6 in the last equation becomes 7, the three equations combine to give 0 = 0. Now the

third equation is the sum of the ﬁrst two. In that case the three planes have a whole line

in common (Figure 1.5c). Changing the right sides will move the planes in Figure 1.5b

parallel to themselves, and for b = (2,5, 7) the ﬁgure is suddenly different. The lowest

plane moved up to meet the others, and there is a line of solutions. Problem 1.5c is still

singular, but now it suffers from too many solutions instead of too few.

The extreme case is three parallel planes. For most right sides there is no solution

(Figure 1.5d). For special right sides (like b = (0,0,0)!) there is a whole plane of

solutions—because the three parallel planes move over to become the same.

What happens to the column picture when the system is singular? it has to go wrong;

the question is how, There are still three columns on the left side of the equations, and

we try to combine them to produce b. Stay with equation (3):

= b. (4)

For b = (2,5,7) this was possible; for b = (2,5,6) it was not. The reason is that those

three columns lie in a plane. Then every combination is also in the plane (which goes

through the origin). If the vector b is not in that plane, no solution is possible (Figure

1.6). That is by far the most likely event; a singular system generally has no solution.

But there is a chance that b does lie in the plane of the columns. In that case there are too

many solutions; the three columns can be combined in inﬁnitely many ways to produce

b. That column picture in Figure 1.6b corresponds to the row picture in Figure 1.5c.

b not in place

3 columns

in a plane

(a) no solution

b in place

3 columns

in a plane

(b) inﬁnity of solutions

Figure 1.6: Singular cases: b outside or inside the plane with all three columns.

How do we know that the three columns lie in the same plane? One answer is to ﬁnd a

combination of the columns that adds to zero. After some calculation, it is u = 3, v = 1,

w = −2. Three times column 1 equals column 2 plus twice column 3. Column 1 is in

10 Chapter 1 Matrices and Gaussian Elimination

the plane of columns 2 and 3. Only two columns are independent.

The vector b = (2,5,7) is in that plane of the columns—it is column 1 plus column

3—so (1, 0, 1) is a solution. We can add an multiple of the combination (3,−1,−2) that

gives b = 0. So there is a whole line of solutions—as we know from the row picture.

The truth is that we knew the columns would combine to give zero, because the rows

did. That is a fact of mathematics, not of computation—and it remains true in dimension

n. If the n planes have no point in common, or inﬁnitely many points, then the n

columns lie in the same plane.

If the row picture breaks down, so does the column picture. That brings out the

difference between Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. This chapter studies the most important

problem—the nonsingular case—where there is one solution and it has to be found.

Chapter 2 studies the general case, where there may be many solutions or none. In

both cases we cannot continue without a decent notation (matrix notation) and a decent

algorithm (elimination). After the exercises, we start with elimination.

Problem Set 1.2

1. For the equations x + y = 4, 2x −2y = 4, draw the row picture (two intersecting

lines) and the column picture (combination of two columns equal to the column

vector (4,4) on the right side).

2. Solve to ﬁnd a combination of the columns that equals b:

Triangular system

u − v − w = b

v + w = b

w = b

3. (Recommended) Describe the intersection of the three planes u + v + w + z = 6 and

u + w + z = 4 and u + w = 2 (all in four-dimensional space). Is it a line or a point or

an empty set? What is the intersection if the fourth plane u = −1 is included? Find

a fourth equation that leaves us with no solution.

4. Sketch these three lines and decide if the equations are solvable:

3 by 2 system

x + 2y = 2

x − y = 2

y = 1.

What happens if all right-hand sides are zero? Is there any nonzero choice of right-

hand sides that allows the three lines to intersect at the same point?

5. Find two points on the line of intersection of the three planes t = 0 and z = 0 and

x + y + z +t = 1 in four-dimensional space.
