ZK3O402wf1c
|
And I want to take those
equations one at a time and ask
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
--
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
and make a picture of all
the points that satisfy --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
let's take equation number two.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
If I make a picture of all
the points that satisfy --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
all the x, y, z points
that solve this equation --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
well, first of all, the
origin is not one of them.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
x, y, z -- it being 0, 0, 0
would not solve that equation.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So what are some points
that do solve the equation?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Let's see, maybe if x is
one, y and z could be zero.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
That would work, right?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So there's one point.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
I'm looking at this
second equation,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
here, just, to start with.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Let's see.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Also, I guess, if
z could be one,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
x and y could be zero,
so that would just
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
go straight up that axis.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And, probably I'd want
a third point here.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Let me take x to be
zero, z to be zero,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
then y would be
minus a half, right?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So there's a third point,
somewhere -- oh my -- okay.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Let's see.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
I want to put in all the points
that satisfy that equation.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Do you know what that
bunch of points will be?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
It's a plane.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
If we have a linear
equation, then, fortunately,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
the graph of the thing, the plot
of all the points that solve it
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
are a plane.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
These three points
determine a plane,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
but your lecturer
is not Rembrandt
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
and the art is going to
be the weak point here.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So I'm just going to
draw a plane, right?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
There's a plane somewhere.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
That's my plane.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
That plane is all the
points that solves this guy.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Then, what about this one?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Two x minus y plus zero z.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So z actually can be anything.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Again, it's going
to be another plane.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Each row in a three
by three problem
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
gives us a plane in
three dimensions.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So this one is going to
be some other plane --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
maybe I'll try to
draw it like this.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And those two planes
meet in a line.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So if I have two equations,
just the first two
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
equations in three dimensions,
those give me a line.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
The line where those
two planes meet.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And now, the third
guy is a third plane.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And it goes somewhere.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Okay, those three
things meet in a point.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Now I don't know where
that point is, frankly.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
But -- linear
algebra will find it.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
The main point is that the three
planes, because they're not
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
parallel, they're not special.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
They do meet in one point
and that's the solution.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
But, maybe you can see
that this row picture is
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
getting a little hard to see.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
The row picture was a cinch
when we looked at two lines
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
meeting.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
When we look at
three planes meeting,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
it's not so clear and in
four dimensions probably
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
a little less clear.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So, can I quit on
the row picture?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Or quit on the row picture
before I've successfully
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
found the point where
the three planes meet?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
All I really want to see is
that the row picture consists
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
of three planes and, if
everything works right,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
three planes meet in one
point and that's a solution.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Now, you can tell I
prefer the column picture.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Okay, so let me take
the column picture.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
That's x times --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
so there were two xs in the
first equation minus one x is,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
and no xs in the third.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
It's just the first
column of that.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And how many ys are there?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
There's minus one in the first
equations, two in the second
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
and maybe minus
three in the third.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Just the second
column of my matrix.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And z times no zs minus
one zs and four zs.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And it's those three
columns, right,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
that I have to combine to
produce the right-hand side,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
which is zero minus one four.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Okay.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So what have we got on
this left-hand side?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
A linear combination.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
It's a linear combination
now of three vectors,
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
and they happen to be -- each
one is a three dimensional
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
vector, so we want to know
what combination of those three
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
vectors produces that one.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Shall I try to draw the
column picture, then?
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
So, since these vectors
have three components --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
so it's some multiple -- let
me draw in the first column
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
as before --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
x is two and y is minus one.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
Maybe there is the first column.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
y -- the second column has maybe
a minus one and a two and the y
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
is a minus three, somewhere,
there possibly, column two.
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
And the third column has --
|
ZK3O402wf1c
|
no zero minus one four,
so how shall I draw that?
