Detailed Explanation to Matrices
Not what you're looking for?
Matrices are the most common and effective way to solve systems of linear equations. However, not all systems of linear equations have unique solutions. Before spending time trying to solve a system, it is important to establish whether it in fact has a unique solution.
For this Discussion Board, provide an example of a matrix that has no solution. Use row operations to show why it has no unique solution. Also, some matrices have more than one solution (in fact, an infinite number of solutions) because the system is undetermined. (In other words, there are not enough constraints to provide a unique solution.) Provide an example of such a matrix, and show, using row operations, why it is underdetermined.
