7.4 Consistent and Inconsistent Systems Objectives: Identify consistent and inconsistent systems of equations. Identify dependent and independent systems of equations. Standards addressed: 2.8.8.H: Graph a linear function. 2.8.11.F: Identify whether systems of equations are consistent or inconsistent.
A system of equations may have one unique solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solution at all. • Systems that have one or infinitely many solutions are called consistent. • Systems with no solutions are called inconsistent.
Ex. 2b. Determine whether the system is consistent or inconsistent by solving it algebraically and graphically. • Multiply 1st EQ by -2 -2x – 6y = -2 2x + 6y = 3 0 = 5 Inconsistent No solution
Ex. 3b • Multiply 2nd EQ by -2 • 4y = -2x – 6 -4y = 2x + 6 0 = 0 Dependent infinity
