Given: A system of linear equations.
To find We have to tell whether a system of linear equations can have no solution and infinitely many solutions.
A system of equations can have a unique solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions.
We get to know about the solution of a system of equations by looking at the coefficient of variables and the constant part.
An example of a system of equations with no solution:
⇒ 2x + 3y = 10
⇒ 2x + 3y = 12
The coefficients of “x” and “y” are the same but the constants in both the equations are different. So, this system will have no solution.
An example of a system of equations with infinitely many solutions:
⇒ 2x + 3y=6
⇒ 4x + 6y=12
The coefficients of “x” and “y” and the constant are proportional. So, they basically represent the same line on the graph. They have infinitely many solutions.
Yes, a linear system of equations has no solution or infinitely many solutions. The example of no solution is 2x + 3y = 10, 2x + 3y = 12. The example of infinitely many solutions is 2x + 3y = 6, 4x + 6y = 12.
