What are the possible solutions for a system of equations?
The system of equations can have zero solutions, one solution, two solutions, any finite number of solutions, or an infinite number of solutions. If it is a system of LINEAR equations, then the only possibilities are zero solutions, one solution, and an infinite number of solutions. With linear equations, think of each equation describing a straight line. The solution to the system of equations will be where these lines intersect (a point). If they do not intersect at all (or maybe two of the lines intersect, and the third one doesn't) then there is no solution. If the equations describe the same line, then there will be infinite solutions (every point on the line satisfies both equations). If the system of equations came from a real world problem (like solving for currents or voltages in different parts of a circuit) then there should be a solution, if the equations were chosen properly.
A system of linear equation in two variables can have how many solutions?
None, one or an infinite number. In graph form, the three correspond to: None = Parallel lines One = Interscting lines Infinite = Coincident lines.
How do you know if a system has one solution?
If the equations or inequalities have the same slope, they have no solution or infinite solutions. If the equations/inequalities have different slopes, the system has only one solution.
What is the solution to this system of equations y equals -3x-2?
-1
Choose the ordered pair that is a solution to the system of equations -x plus y equals 12?
-x+y=12is the equation of a line and since there are infinitely many points on the line and each point is represented by an ordered pair, we have infinitely many solutions.If we take x as 0, then y must be 12so (0,12) is one ordered pair that is a solution to the equation.Zero is often a nice number to pick since it makes the calculation a bit easier.
How many solutions will a system have if the graph of the solution is not parallel lines?
infinitely many solutions :)
Why a system of linear equations cannot have exactly two solutions?
A system of linear equations can only have: no solution, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.
When system of linear equations is graphed how is the graph of each equation related to the solutions of that equation?
When a system of linear equations is graphed, each equation is represented by a straight line on the coordinate plane. The solutions to each equation correspond to all the points on that line. The intersection points of the lines represent the solutions to the entire system; if the lines intersect at a point, that point is the unique solution. If the lines are parallel, there are no solutions, and if they overlap, there are infinitely many solutions.
When a system of linear equations is graphed how is the graph of each equation related to the solutions of that equation?
When a system of linear equations is graphed, each equation represents a line in a coordinate plane. The solutions to each equation correspond to the points on that line. The intersection points of the lines represent the solutions to the system as a whole, indicating where the equations are satisfied simultaneously. If the lines intersect at a single point, there is a unique solution; if they are parallel, there are no solutions; and if they coincide, there are infinitely many solutions.
Why could a system of linear equations have two solutions?
A system of linear equations cannot have two distinct solutions if it is consistent and defined in a Euclidean space. If two linear equations intersect at a single point, they have one solution; if they are parallel, they have no solutions. However, if the equations are dependent, meaning one equation is a multiple of the other, they represent the same line and thus have infinitely many solutions, not just two. Therefore, in standard scenarios, a system of linear equations can either have one solution, no solutions, or infinitely many solutions, but not exactly two.
Can linear system that has more unknowns than equation be consistent?
yes it can . the system may have infinitely many solutions.
Does this system of equation have one solution no solution or and infinite number of solutions 2x y5 2y 4x10?
To determine the number of solutions for the system of equations, we first need to clarify and rewrite the equations correctly. It seems there may be a formatting issue. If the equations are (2x + y = 5) and (2y = 4x + 10), we can analyze them. If the second equation can be simplified to the first, the system has infinitely many solutions (they are the same line). If they yield different lines, there will be no solution. Please confirm the equations for a precise answer.
Can a linear system have exactly two solutions?
NO! A linear system can only have one solution (the lines intersect at one point), no solution (the lines are parallel), and infinitely many solutions (the lines are equivalent).
How many solutions did this linear system have?
To determine how many solutions a linear system has, we need to analyze the equations involved. A linear system can have one unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution at all. This is usually assessed by examining the coefficients and constants of the equations, as well as using methods like substitution, elimination, or matrix analysis. If the equations are consistent and independent, there is one solution; if they are consistent and dependent, there are infinitely many solutions; and if they are inconsistent, there are no solutions.
When you use the substitution method how can you tell that a has an infinite number of solutions?
If the process of substituting leads to an identity rather than an equation then the system has infinitely many solutions.
How many solutions does an inconsistent equation have?
An inconsistent equation (or system of equations) is one that has no possible solutions. That is precisely why we call it inconsistent; there is no solution set that can be substituted for its variable or variables that will make the equation (or system) true.
Does the graph of a system of equations with different slopes have no solutions?
The graph of a system of equations with the same slope will have no solution, unless they have the same y intercept, which would give them infinitely many solutions. Different slopes means that there is one solution.
