Which of the following is a linear equation in x, y, and z?
1. x − e2 y = 3z
1
2.
2π ln (ez ) − 2y + z = ln(3) − x
3. √y −2 + 4y − 2z = 7x
4. y + 4y − 2z = 7x 3
Solution
Linear Equations: Properties of natural logs: Exponent(s) laws:
Highest power of variables is 1. ln(x y ) = yln x 1 1
1. a−m = m
or m = a−m
one. a a
2. ln(ex ) = x
No products or roots of
variables. 3. ln(e) = 1
Note: I only chose properties
4. eln(x) = x of natural logs and exponents
Variables do not appear as
arguments of trig, logarithmic laws relevant to the concepts
or exponential functions. in question.
.
SOLUTION
1. x − e2 y = 3z ⇒ x − 7.38 … y = 3z
1
2.
2π ln (ez ) − 2y + z = ln(3) − x ⇒ 2πz −1 − 2y + z = ln(3)
1 1 1 1
Note: ln (ez ) = = z −1 or ln(e) = = z −1 ∵ ln(e) = 1and ln(3) = 1.098..

In the following three questions, draw a table of logical operations in order to boil down statements
into digestible operations through the corresponding logical formulas.
QUESTION 4
Any homogeneous linear system has one solution or no solution.
1. T ∧ F, where T stands for True and F stands for False
2. (F ∨ F ) ∧ ⌝ T, where ⌝ is the symbol for logical negation
3. F ∧ (⌝ F ∨ T)
4. (T ∨ F ) ∧ F
5. (T ∨ F ) ∨ F
SOLUTION
Logical Connectives
Logical connectives are operators that are used to join one or more prepositions (propositions are
declarative statements that are either true or false but can’t be both).
