row reduce the matrix in question and see if it has any free variables. if it does then it has many solution's. If not then it only has one unique solution. which is of course the trivial solution (0)

What is cramer rule?

In linear algebra, Cramer's rule is an explicit formula for the solution of a system of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, valid whenever the system has a unique solution.


What is a system of linear equations in two variables?

They are a set of equations in two unknowns such that any term containing can contain at most one of the unknowns to the power 1. A system of linear equations can have no solutions, one solution or an infinite number of solutions.


When will a homogeneous system of equations be inconsistent?

A homogeneous system of eqs: Ax=0 will always be consistent, since x=0 is always a possible solution. However, if det(A)=0 then there will be infinite solutions, as |A|=0 implies that either no solutions or infinitely many exist, and it is impossible for no solutions to exist to Ax=0. If det(A) is non 0, then x=0 is the only solution, as |A| is not equal to 0 implies a unique solution only!(in this case x=0). Hope this helps!


If you have a system of two equations with two unknowns and the graphs of the two equations are the same the system must have . A. more than 1 solution B. no solution C. at leas?

If the graphs of the two equations in a system are the same, the system must have A. more than 1 solution. This is because the two equations represent the same line, meaning every point on that line is a solution to the system. Therefore, there are infinitely many solutions.


Solve the system using elimination 3x -9y equals 3?

Solving equations in two unknowns requires two independent equations. Since you have only one equation there is no solution.


What is a solution to a system of equations graphically?

Graphically, it is the point of intersection where the lines (in a linear system) intersect. If you have 2 equations and two unknowns, then you have a 2 lines in a plane. The (x,y) coordinates of the point where the 2 lines intersect represent the values which satisfies both equations. If there are 3 equations and 3 unknowns, then you have lines in 3 dimensional space. If all 3 lines intersect at a point then there is a solution to the system. With more than 3 variables, it is difficult to visualize more dimensions, though.


Can you solve the system using elimination 3x plus 9y equals 3?

No. Solving equations in two unknowns requires two independent equations. Since you have only one equation there is no solution.


How many possible solutions can a system of two linear equations in two unknowns have?

A system of two linear equations in two unknowns can have three possible types of solutions: exactly one solution (when the lines intersect at a single point), no solutions (when the lines are parallel and never intersect), or infinitely many solutions (when the two equations represent the same line). Thus, there are three potential outcomes for such a system.


How many types of solutions of a system of two linear equations in two unknowns can exist?

There is only one type of solution if there are two linear equations. and that is the point of intersection listed in (x,y) form.


What is y equals 2x plus 1 and y equals 2x-3?

A pair of simultaneous equations in two unknowns which are inconsistent - in the sense that there is no solution that simultaneously satisfies both equations. Graphically, the equations are those of two parallel lines (slope = 2). Since, by definition, they cannot meet there is no solution to the system.


What is a system of linear equations that has no solution?

there is no linear equations that has no solution every problem has a solution


Does any homogeneous system have nontrivial solution?

x+y=0 2x+2y=0 This homogeneous system has infinitely many non-trivial solutions. If you are looking for exactly one non-trivial solution, no such system exists. the system may or may not have non trivial solution. if number of variables equal to number of equations and given matrix is non singular then non trivial solution does not exist
