Gaussian elimination is used to solve linear equation systems by transforming the system's augmented matrix into a row-echelon form and then a reduced row-echelon form through row operations. For system (a), x1 + 4x2 = 1 and 2x1 + 2x2 = 8, Gaussian elimination reveals no solution because the elimination process leads to contradictory statements. In system (b), provided is already consistent and solvable, reduction clearly defines intersections of planes it represents in 3D. This method indicates both solution existence and uniqueness: a unique row of all zeroes post-transform indicates infinite solutions, while row contradictions imply no solution .

The inner product of the vectors (x, x - 1, 3) and (x, x, 3x) is calculated as x * x + (x - 1) * x + 3 * 3x. Simplifying this expression, it becomes 3x^2 + 2x + 9x, which equals 3x^2 + 11x. For the inner product to be zero, the equation 3x^2 + 11x = 0 must be satisfied. Solving for x gives x(3x + 11) = 0, leading to solutions x = 0 or x = -11/3 .

The firm produces using the equation λ(8, 4, 4) + (1-λ)(2, 6, 10) = (6λ + 2, -2λ + 6, -6λ + 10). To determine if production vectors like a = (5, 5, 7) or b = (7, 5, 5) are possible, set the vector equations equal to (5, 5, 7) and solve for λ. If output cannot be thrown away, neither vector is feasible because solving the equations does not yield a valid λ in the range [0, 1]. If output can be discarded, the vectors a and b could be targets by choosing an appropriate λ. The firm's revenue-maximizing strategy will depend on the selling prices p1, p2, p3. Both plants will be used if the revenue at λ and (1-λ) are equal, which simplifies to an equality condition on prices .

Point a = (2, −1, 3) lies on line L with parametric equations x1 = −t + 2, x2 = 2t − 1, x3 = t + 3 by plugging the coordinates into these equations and solving for t, which checks out for some t. To construct a plane P through point a that is orthogonal to L, use the direction vector of L, (−1, 2, 1), as the normal vector of P. Hence, the equation of the plane is given by −1(x - 2) + 2(y + 1) + 1(z - 3) = 0, which simplifies to −x + 2y + z = 3 .

To find the normal at point a = (−2, 1, −1) to the plane −x + 2y + 3z = 1, recognize that the normal vector of the plane, significantly influenced by the coefficients of x, y, z in its equation, is (-1, 2, 3). The equation of the normal at point a is expressed mathematically as it maintains this normal direction, ensuring perpendicularity to the plane .

The firm's profit or loss is determined by evaluating the value of its net output. Using the net output vector (2, -1) and price vector (1, 3), the revenue is calculated as 2*1 + (-1)*3 = 2 - 3 = -1. A cost vector isn't explicitly given, but assuming no cost variations, the negative value indicates a loss. Profit or loss is the difference between revenue and costs, with any negative result indicating a loss .

For both plants to remain operational, the equality condition of revenue generated at different allocations λ and (1-λ) must be satisfied, considering diverse selling prices for the goods. Specifically, the revenue at λ fraction allocation and (1-λ) must be equal, meaning the sum of product price times production at λ equals the product price times production at (1 - λ). Mathematically, if the revenue expressions for both allocations meet equality, conditions apply that encourage dual plant productivity .

Each house requires specific timber units: type A requires 20 units, type B requires 18 units, and type C requires 25 units. These are represented by the vector u = (20, 18, 25). The number of houses corresponds to vector x = (5, 7, 12). The total timber requirement is found by computing the inner product u · x, yielding 5*20 + 7*18 + 12*25 = 100 + 126 + 300 = 526 units of timber .

Verifying points on a line involves checking the satisfaction of line's parametric vector equations with point coordinates. For known line equation components in a vector context, substituting these into point equations reveals if point lies there, serving as evidence backs by parameter existence. This assists understanding linear geometries in a vector sense and mapping physical spatial placement through algebraic means. Vector representations help shape multi-dimensional spaces crucial in geometry through parameter-location arguments .

The budget constraint with price vector (2, 3, 5) and commodity vector (10, 5, 8) is represented by the inequality 2*10 + 3*5 + 5*8 ≤ total budget. Simplifying gives the constraint 20 + 15 + 40 ≤ total budget, or 75 ≤ total budget. This means the sum of expenditures, based on the given prices and quantities, must not exceed the available budget .
