To State: The possibility of system of equations being both independent and inconsistent. Give an explanation.
No, the possibility of system of equations being both independent and inconsistent is not possible.
Given information:
State the possibility of system of equations being both independent and inconsistent.
Explanation:
There is only one solution for an independent system, whereas there are infinitely many solutions for an inconsistent system.
The example of a system that has infinitely many solutions which cannot be independent is shown below.
Consider the following system of equations
Graph the equations:
It can be seen from the graph that the lines
Thus, the possibility of system of equations being both independent and inconsistent is not possible.
