what does it mean when a systems of equations have infinite solutions?
it means that any value replaced for a variable would make the equation true
That's like have lines on top of themselves I guess would be a good way to explain |dw:1436396556807:dw| they would all be on top of each other, just differentiate it a bit so you can see, infinite points, infinite solutions, it would be a true statement such as 0 = 0
if you have 2 equations and you graph them and they are on top of each other, they have infinite solutions
like the drawing
so like x and y can be any number?
x=4y+1 5x−20y=5
for this solution 5=5
this means infinite solutions.
(1)=4(1)+1
Yes 5 = 5 means infinite
1=4?
x= something is one solution
1 = 4 means no solution
makes no sense
infinite solutions mean i can put any number for x and y? x=4y+1
That's just one equation
oh right lol.
If you have two, yes you can put what ever you like and it will give you the same result as in 5 = 5, 100 = 100
x=4y+1 5x−20y=5
okay i understand this now :) thanks a lot guys :D
