Dr. Schurle Your UTEID:
Show all your work on these pages. THIS SHOULD ALWAYS INCLUDE AN INDI-
CATION OF HOW YOU OBTAINED YOUR RESULTS! Be organized and neat. Your
work should be your own; there should be no talking, reading notes, checking laptops, using
cellphones, . . . .
THE EXAM HAS 13 PROBLEMS.
1. (6 points) Use parametric vector form to describe all solutions of the system Ax = 0,
where A is given below. DO NOT USE A CALCULATOR!! SHOW ALL YOUR
WORK STEP BY STEP!!
