Several systems of equations are given below.

Here is a quick reference page on the meaning of each of those types of systems. http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/coordinate/Types-of-systems-inconsistent-dependent-independent.lesson

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Ya but idk how to graph inequalities

OpenStudy (danjs):

These are equalities, system of two lines. You have to be able to tell if each one is either, -parallel lines -the same line in two forms -intersecting lines

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

1. parellel 2. intersecting 3. the same line in two forms :P

OpenStudy (danjs):

That is what those fancy words pretty much mean... a) Consistent and Independent = Has 1 unique solution (x,y), and Not the same line, cross at one point. b) Consistent and Dependent = Infinitely many solutions, the same line overlapped, if you solve, you will get something like 10 = 10, True Statement. c) Inconsistent = parallel lines, no solutions, if you solve you will get a false statement like 13=5, false.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ok so maybe system 2 is consistent independent

OpenStudy (danjs):

System 1: y = 6x - 1.5 y = -6x + 1.5

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ohhh so its the first :P

OpenStudy (danjs):

If you tried to solve System 1, you can set y = y to get, 6x - 1.5 = -6x + 1.5 12x = 3 x = 1/4 = 0.25 Has a unique single solution, it is Consistent, and Independent.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ohhh that actually makes some sense

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Soooo B?

OpenStudy (danjs):

System 2 is x + 3y = -6 2x + 6y = -3 --------------

OpenStudy (danjs):

OpenStudy (danjs):

To see this by looking at the equations. You can put them both in y = mx+b form, They will both have the same slope m. They will have different intercepts b.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

ahhh ok :D so its what in slope intercept and can we do c? @DanJS

OpenStudy (danjs):

or you can leave them as is, and you can see that the coefficients on X and Y are a multiple of one another. Multiply the first equation by 2, and you get the same left side as the second. 2x + 6y = -12 2x + 6y = -3 ---------------- Same Left side = Parallel lines

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

so it has no solutions correct

OpenStudy (danjs):

System 3 is similar to system 2, but when you multiply the first equation by a constant, you get BOTH left and right sides the same... like this 2x - y = 5 (multiply eq1 by 3) 6x - 3y = 15 --------------- 6x - 3y = 15 6x - 3y = 15 same line, infinitely many solutions, Dependent

OpenStudy (danjs):

To recap.. System 1 = Single Solution, Consistent - Independent System 2 = No Solution, Inconsistent - Independent System 3 = Infinite Solutions, Consistent - Dependent

OpenStudy (danjs):

System 1 - Crossing Lines System 2 - Parallel Lines System 3 - Same Single Line

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

i just wrote this - 3. System 1 is Consistent independent and has 1 solution. This is because 6x-1.5=-6x+1.5 12x=3 x=1/4= 0.25 x=0.25 y=0 This has a single solution, and it is consistent- independent. The single point of intersection is- (0.25,0) b. System 2- x+3y=-6 2x+6y=-3 System 2 has Parallel lines, and No Solutions/ intersections. Therefore, It is Inconsistent- No solutions/ parallel Independent- Not the Same line. The coefficients on x and y are multiples of each other. So All I have to do is multiply the first equation by two. and you get the same exact left side as the second. 2x+6y=-12 2x+6y=-3 Same left Side= Parallel Lines c. System 3 is almost like system 2 but when I multiply the first equation by a constant, I get BOTH left and ride sides the exact same. 2x-y=5 6x-3y=15 _________ 6x-3y=15 6x-3y=15 same line, infinitely many solutions dependents.

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

Good?

OpenStudy (danjs):

Looks good to me. Just study this page , all the stuff is on there http://www.algebra.com/algebra/homework/coordinate/Types-of-systems-inconsistent-dependent-independent.lesson

OpenStudy (sparklestaraa):

:D kk i will can we do another New ? so i can give u new medal

OpenStudy (danjs):

Sure i can do one more... link me to it
