2024 NYJC JC2 Common Test Exam 9649/2 Solution Page 3 of 15 Qn Suggested Solution 2 (a) Since 11 1 0 1 11 == A0 , A has eigenvalue 0 and corresponding eigenvector 1 1 1 . (b) Since nullity(T) = 1, rank(T) = 2. Since 5 2 3 2 0 2 4 2 2 − − =− − − , take 2nd and 3rd columns of A as basis of range space of T. Since 21 0 2 0 21 = and 3 1 1 2 2 0 2 2 1 0 =+ , hence 1 0 1 and 1 2 0 form a basis of the range space of T. Need to link to range space of T. Just saying they are L.I. is insufficient. (c) Since 1 0 1 and 1 2 0 are basis of the range space of T, 11 02 10 km p q r + = A 5 2 3 22 4 2 22 p q r pr pqr km m k − + + − + =− + + + Thus 4 2 2 rk pq−+= + , m p r=− + ( ) ( ) 1 11 11 to both sides of eq 11 02 10 App uly 11 02 10 11 2 0 1 2 1 ao 0 ti nn n n n nnn m km k p qk r p q r p q r m − −− −− + + − + − = = = A A A A A A Thus ( )( ) 1 4 2 2 2 n pqr − + −−= + , ( ) 1( 1) npr −−= − +

In 1 min, 2 kg of salt is going into the tank. | 2 in d d x t = At time t, amount of mixture in the tank is 100 2 100t t t+ − = + gallons. Since 1 gallon of the mixture flows out of the tank per minute,, amount of salt flowing out of the tank is 1 100 xt+ kg. Hence we have the DE: 12 100 d d x xtt=− + 1 2100 d d x xtt+= + IF = . Multiplying the DE by IF gives Since when t = 0, x = 0, 2100C=− . Thus the particular solution is . When amount of mixture is 150, 0100 150 5t t+= = . Amount of salt in the tank at this instant = ( )50 200 50 83.3100 50 kg+ + .
