Use parametric equations to describe the solution set of the linear equation. 15x_1 - 4x_2 + 3x_3 = 6 Give the exact answer. Use fractions if necessary. x_1 = t X_2 = s x3(t, s) =
Solution
Given that
15x1 - 4x2 + 3x3 = 6 x1 = t , x2 = s
3x3 = 6 - 15x1 + 4x2
x3 = ( 6 - 15x1 + 4x2 ) / 3
x3 = ( 6 - 15t + 4s ) / 3
Therefore,
x3( t , s ) = ( 6 - 15t + 4s ) / 3
