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.
What are the possible solutions for a pair of linear equation?
Any system of linear equations can have the following number of solutions: 0 if the system is inconsistent (one of the equations degenerates to 0=1) 1 if the system is linearly independent infinity if the system has free variables and is not inconsistent.
What is a system of equation that has no solution?
It is an inconsistent system of equations. --- Or perhaps you want examples? One pair of inconsistent equations: x + y = 4 x + y = 1 Another pair: y = x2 + 3 y = 1 (In the first equation of this pair, y is minimised when x = 0, when its value is 3. But the second equation claims that y = 1.)
How many solutions does an inconsistent system of equations have?
If a system is inconsistent it cannot have any solutions.A system of equations is considered inconsistent when the lines are parallel which means they never intersect so there are no solutions.A system is considered consistent when they intersect at one point and have one solution (Also known as an independent system of equations).Dependent Systems are when the lines coincide (the same equation) so they have an infinite number of solutions.
The difference between consistent and inconsistent in algebra?
Consistent means that the equation does not have the same slopes. Inconsistent means that it has the same slope.
