How do you recognize when an equation has no real solution or an infinite number of solutions?
It depends on the equation. Also, the domain must be such that is supports an infinite number of solutions. A quadratic equation, for example, has no real solution if its discriminant is negative. It cannot have an infinite number of solutions. Many trigonometric equations are periodic and consequently have an infinite number of solutions - provided the domain is also infinite. A function defined as follows: f(x) = 1 if x is real f(x) = 0 if x is not real has no real solutions but an infinite number of solutions in complex numbers.
If a system has an infinite number of solutions does it follow that any ordered pair is a solution?
No, this is not necessarily the case. A function can have an infinite range of solutions but not an infinite domain. This means that not every ordered pair would be a solution.
Can a system of two linear equations in two variables have 3 solutions?
No. At least, it can't have EXACTLY 3 solutions, if that's what you mean. A system of two linear equations in two variables can have:No solutionOne solutionAn infinite number of solutions
10 plus x -3 equals?
There is an infinite number of solutions because x is not determined.
How many solutions does a system of equations have?
It depends on the equation. It could have one, it could have an infinite number.
