Problem4: [Systems of Linear Equations] Which of the following equations are linear.
1. $x_1+2x_3=3$
2. $x_1x_2+x_2=1$
3. $x_1-x_2=\sin^2 x_1 + \cos^2 x_1$
4. $x_1-x_2=\sin^2 x_1 + \cos^2 x_2$
5. $|x_1|-|x_2|=0$
6. $\pi x_1+\sqrt 7x_2$
Solution:
1. Linear - in the form of $a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 + .... + a_nx_n = b$
2. Not linear - contains non linear term $x_1x_2$
3. Linear - can be written as $\sin^2x_1+\cos^2x_1=1$
4. Not linear - can not be written as $\sin^2x_1+\cos^2x_2=1$
5. Linear - contains non linear terms $|x_1|,|x_2|$
6. Linear - in the form of $a_1x_1 + a_2x_2 + .... + a_nx_n = b$
