For the set of equations x1 + 2x2 + x3 + 4x4 = 2 3x1 + 6x2 + 3x3 + 12x4 = 6 Which of the following statement is true?
For the set of equations x1 + 2x2 + x3 + 4x4 = 2 3x1 + 6x2 + 3x3 + 12x4 = 6 Which of the following statement is true? Correct Answer Multiple non-trivial solutions exists
Given, system of equation
x1 + 2x2 + x3 + 4x4 = 2
3x1 + 6x2 + 3x3 + 12x4 = 6
Which is the non-homogeneous system of equations .
The augmented matrix is
Applying R2 → R2 – 3R1
Here, Rank of = 1 & Rank of A = 1
i.e. Rank of = Rank of A
So, the given system of equation is consistent. But the rank of A is less than the number of unknowns. So, the system of non-homogeneous equation will have infinitely many solutions. SO multiple, non-trivial solution exist.
