Can someone explain the following problem?
Let G: R3-->R3 be the function defined by the formula
G(x1,x2,x3)=(-3x1+6x2+9x3, x1-2x2-2x3, 2x1-4x2-3x3).
a)G is not onto. For which of the following triples (b1,b2,b3) is there no (x1,x2,x3) with G(x1,x2,x3)-(b1,b2,b3)?
This part I already solved by reducing the liean equations to a reduced row echelon form. I found the pivot in the 3rd row to be b1+9b2-3b3, so when it is not equal to 0 the system is inconsistent. That part was easy...However I have no idea what to do with part b and c:
b) G is not one-to-one. For which of the following triples (x1,x2,x3) do we have G(x1,x2,x3)=G(0,0,0)?
A. (2,1,0)
B. (-2,1,0)
C. (2,-1,0)
D. (-2,-1,0)
E. (2,1,1)
F. none of these
b) For which of the following triples (x1,x2,x3) do we have G(x1,x2,x3)=T(0,0,1)?
A. (2,1,1)
B. (2,-1,1)
C. (2,1,0)
D. (-2,1,1)
E. (-2,-1,1)
F. none of these
Thanks !!
