    1. An inconsistent system is one with no solutions, like parallel lines that never intersect. A consistent system has exactly one solution, like two lines crossing at one point. 2. A homogeneous system is made up entirely of equations where the constant term is zero, like both equations being x + y = 0. 3. A trivial solution occurs when the determinant is not zero but the solution is all variables equal to zero, like x = y = 0 for the system x + y = 0, x - y = 0.

    Worksheet #1

    Systems of Linear Equations

    A. Define the following words and give example (if possible).

    1. Inconsistent

    If the lines are parallel, they won’t ever intersect.


    That means that the system of equations they
    represent has no solution. A system with no
    solutions is called an inconsistent system.

    2. Consistent

    Two lines cross at exactly one point and the system


    has exactly one solution. A system with exactly one
    solution is called a consistent system.

    3. Homogeneous System

    A linear equation is said to be homogeneous when its constant part is zero.  For


    example, both of the following are homogeneous:
    A homogeneous linear system is on made up entirely of homogeneous
    equations.  For example, the following is a homogeneous system;

    4. Trivial Solution

    The system of equation in which the determinant of the coefficient matrix is not
    zero but the solution is x=y=z=0 is called trivial solution. In fact, the trivial solution
    occurs in homogeneous equation in which the constant term is equal to zero.

     Trivial Solution: The simplest solution of any equation is known as trivial


    solution.

    For example - Consider a linear equation 3x + 2 = 3.


    The simplest solution for this equation is x = 0.
    Hence x = 0 is the trivial solution for this equation.

    5. Nontrivial Solution

    The system of equation in which the determinant of the coefficient is zero is called non-
    trivial solution.

    A solution for example that is not trivial. Often, solutions or examples involving the


    number zero are considered trivial. Nonzero solutions or examples are considered
    nontrivial.
    For example, the equation x + 5y = 0 has the trivial solution (0, 0). Nontrivial solutions
    include (5, –1) and (–2, 0.4).

    6. Equivalent System of Linear Equation

    Two systems of linear equation are said to be equivalent: if each equation in every
    system is a linear combination of the equations in the other system.

    For example, x + 2 = 6 and 2x = 8 are equivalent equations, because when we solve
    each of them as follows, they have the same solution set
