Examples of inconsistent system in the following topics:
-
- For linear equations in two variables, inconsistent systems have no solution, while dependent systems have infinitely many solutions.
- An inconsistent system has no solution, and a dependent system has an infinite number of solutions.
- We will now focus on identifying dependent and inconsistent systems of linear equations.
- A
linear system is consistent if it has a solution, and inconsistent
otherwise.
- We can also apply methods for solving systems of equations to identify inconsistent systems.
-
- Systems of equations in three variables are either independent, dependent, or inconsistent; each case can be established algebraically and represented graphically.
- Inconsistent systems have no solution.
- Just as with systems of equations in two variables, we may come across an inconsistent system
of equations in three variables, which means that it does not have a
solution that satisfies all three equations.
- The final equation $0 = 2$ is a contradiction, so we conclude that the system of equations in inconsistent, and therefore, has no solution.
- Explain what it means, graphically, for systems of equations in three variables to be inconsistent or dependent, as well as how to recognize algebraically when this is the case
-
- A linear system is consistent if it has a solution, and inconsistent otherwise.
- When the system is inconsistent, it is possible to derive a contradiction from the equations, that may always be rewritten such as the statement 0 = 1.
- are inconsistent.
- are inconsistent.
- In general, inconsistencies occur if the left-hand sides of the equations in a system are linearly dependent, and the constant terms do not satisfy the dependence relation.
-
- A system of equations consists of two or more equations with two or more variables, where any solution must satisfy all of the equations in the system at the same time.
- To find the unique solution to a system of linear
equations, we must find a numerical value for each variable in the
system that will satisfy all of the system's equations at the same time.
- A solution to the system above is given by
- An inconsistent system has no solution.
- A dependent system
has infinitely many solutions.

- Matrices can be used to compactly write and work with systems of multiple linear equations.
- Matrices can be used to compactly write and work with systems of equations.
- This is very helpful when we start to work with systems of equations.
- It is helpful to understand how to organize matrices to solve these systems.
- If the coefficient matrix is not invertible, the system could be inconsistent and have no solution, or be dependent and have infinitely many solutions.
-
- This set is often referred to as a system of equations.
- The single point where all three planes intersect is the unique solution to the system.
- This images shows a system of three equations in three variables.
- The intersecting point (white dot) is the unique solution to this system.
- Solve a system of equations in three variables, differentiating between systems that have no solutions and ones that have infinitely many solutions
-
- A simple way to solve a system of equations is to look for the intersecting point or points of the equations.
- The most common ways to solve a system of equations are:
- This point is considered to be the solution of the system of equations.
- A system with two sets of answers that will satisfy both equations has two points of intersection (thus, two solutions of the system), as shown in the image below.
- This is an example of a system of equations shown graphically that has two sets of answers that will satisfy both equations in the system.
-
- The answer to a system of equations is a set of values that satisfies all equations in the system, and there can be many such answers for any given system.
- There are several practical applications of systems of equations.
- The solution to the system is $S=49$ and $T=7$.
- This next example illustrates how systems of equations are used to find quantities.
- Apply systems of equations in two variables to real world examples
-
- Systems of nonlinear inequalities can be solved by graphing boundary lines.
- A system of inequalities consists of two or more inequalities, which are statements that one quantity is greater than or less than another.
- This area is the solution to the system.
- Whereas a solution for a linear system of equations will contain an infinite, unbounded area (lines can only pass one another a maximum of once), in many instances, a solution for a nonlinear system of equations will consist of a finite, bounded area.
- Any point in the region between the line $y=x+2$ and the parabola $y=x^2$ satisfies the system of inequalities.
-
- As with linear systems, a nonlinear system of equations (and conics) can be solved graphically and algebraically for all of its variables.
- In a system of equations, two or more relationships are stated among variables.
- As with linear systems of equations, substitution can be used to solve nonlinear systems for one variable and then the other.
- Solving nonlinear systems of equations algebraically is similar to doing the same for linear systems of equations.
- We can solve this system algebraically by using equation $(1)$ as a substitution.
