Math 152 Test #1 version A
B2: For each of the systems described below as augmented matrices that
have been put into reduced row echelon form, determine whether the
systems have
• no solutions
• a single solution (in this case, find the solution)
• an infinite number of solutions (in this case, find a parametric
description of all solutions).
Each part is worth 1 mark.

The easiest way to parameterize this is to let x2 = s and x4 = t. Then the first line says x1 = 3 2s 9t,

MWF Version 2: One corner of a parallelepiped in R3 is at the point A = (1, 1, 1).
The three corners adjacent to that corner lie on the points B = (1, 1, 1), C = ( 1, 2, 4),
and D = (2, 0, 3).
(a) [2] What is the volume of the parallelepiped?
(b) [1] What is the area of the triangle ABC?
(c) [2] What are the other four corners of the parallelepiped?
Solution: Let
!
b = AB = (1, 1, 1)
!
c = AC = ( 1, 2, 4)
!
d = AC = (2, 0, 3)
(1, 1, 1) = (0, 2, 2),
(1, 1, 1) = ( 2, 1, 3),
(1, 1, 1) = (1, 1, 2).

(c) Denote the parallelepiped in the problem by P . Let us translate this parallelepiped
!
by the vector OA, so that the vertex A gets translated to the origin, O = (0, 0, 0), and
the vetrices B, C and D, adjacent to A get translated to (0, 2, 2), ( 2, 1, 3), (1, 1, 2),
respectively. I will denote this new (translated) parallelepiped by P0 and its vertices O =
(0, 0, 0), (0, 2, 2), ( 2, 1, 3), (1, 1, 2), by B0 , C0 and D0 , respectively.
Note that P0 is the parallelepiped spanned by b, c and d. Its vertices A0 , B0 , C0 , D0 , E0 , F0 , G0 , H0
are given as follows:
!
OA0 = 0 = (0, 0, 0),
!
OB0 = b = (0, 2, 2),
!
OC0 = c = ( 2, 1, 3),
!
OD0 = d = (1, 1, 2),
!
OE0 = b + c = ( 2, 1, 1),
!
OF0 = b + d = (1, 3, 0),
!
OG0 = c + d = ( 1, 0, 5).
!
OH0 = b + c + d = ( 1, 2, 3).
!
The vertices of P are obtained by adding OA = (1, 1, 1) back to each of these. The first
four,
!
!
OA = OA0 + (1, 1, 1) = (1, 1, 1),
!
!
OB = OB0 + (1, 1, 1) = (1, 1, 1),
!
!
OC = OC0 + (1, 1, 1) = ( 1, 2, 4),
!
!
OD = OD0 + (1, 1, 1) = (2, 0, 3),
yield back the four corners A, B, C, D in the problem. The other four corners are given by
!
!
OE = OE0 + (1, 1, 1) = ( 1, 0, 2),
!
!
OF = OF0 + (1, 1, 1) = (2, 2, 1),
!
!
OG = OG0 + (1, 1, 1) = (0, 1, 6),
!
!
OH = OH0 + (1, 1, 1) = (0, 1, 4).
