Questions & Answers
Q: What is the difference between a homogeneous and non-homogeneous linear system?
A homogeneous linear system has a constant term of 0 in all equations, while a non-homogeneous linear system has non-zero constant terms.
Q: How can we determine the position of two planes in R^3?
Two planes in R^3 can either intersect along a line or be parallel.
Q: How can we find the line of intersection between two planes?
By setting the equations of both planes equal to each other and solving the resulting system of equations.
Q: How do we express all points in the plane S?
All points in the plane S can be expressed as the sum of a specific point P_0 and a linear combination of the direction vector connecting S_0 to S.
Summary & Key Takeaways
-
The problem involves solving a homogeneous linear system and understanding its relation to a non-homogeneous linear system.
-
The set S consists of all points that satisfy the equation x - 5y + 2z = 9, while S_0 consists of points that satisfy x - 5y + 2z = 0.
-
Two planes can either intersect along a line or be parallel, and in this case, S and S_0 are parallel planes.
