  • Inconsistent and Dependent Systems

    • In mathematics, a system of linear equations (or linear system) is a collection of linear equations involving the same set of variables.
    • The equations of a linear system are independent if none of the equations can be derived algebraically from the others.
    • When the equations are independent, each equation contains new information about the variables, and removing any of the equations increases the size of the solution set.
    • For example, the equations
    • Adding the first two equations together gives 3x + 2y = 2, which can be subtracted from the third equation to yield 0 = 1.

  • Solving Systems Graphically

    • A simple way to solve a system of equations is to look for the intersecting point or points of the equations.
    • A system of equations (also known as simultaneous equations) is a set of equations with multiple variables, solved when the values of all variables simultaneously satisfy all of the equations.
    • Once you have converted the equations into slope-intercept form, you can graph the equations.
    • To determine the solutions of the set of equations, identify the points of intersection between the graphed equations.

  • Parametric Equations

    • Parametric equations are a set of equations in which the coordinates (e.g., $x$ and $y$) are expressed in terms of a single third parameter.
    • Converting a set of parametric equations to a single equation involves eliminating the variable from the simultaneous equations.
    • If one of these equations can be solved for $t$, the expression obtained can be substituted into the other equation to obtain an equation involving $x$ and $y$ only.
    • In some cases there is no single equation in closed form that is equivalent to the parametric equations.

  • Solving Differential Equations

    • Differential equations are solved by finding the function for which the equation holds true.
    • A differential equation is a mathematical equation for an unknown function of one or several variables that relates the values of the function itself to its derivatives of various orders.
    • As you can see, such an equation relates a function $f(x)$ to its derivative.
    • Solving the differential equation means solving for the function $f(x)$.
    • The "order" of a differential equation depends on the derivative of the highest order in the equation.

  • The Substitution Method

    • The substitution method is a way of solving a system of equations by expressing the equations in terms of only one variable.
    • The substitution method for solving systems of equations is a way to simplify the system of equations by expressing one variable in terms of another, thus removing one variable from an equation.
    • When the resulting simplified equation has only one variable to work with, the equation becomes solvable.
    • Note that now this equation only has one variable (y).
    • We can then simplify this equation and solve for y:
