Suppose a 3 x 5 coefficient matrix for a system has three pivot columns. Is the system consistent? Why or why not? 2. if the coef fecient matrix has a pivot in each row, then it has no zero rows, so the augmented matrix cannot have a pivot in the rightmost column. This means that the reduced echelon form of the augmented matrix for this system cannot have a row that looks like [0.... 0 6] (bis non-zero) the system is| consistent 29. A system of linear equations with fewer equations than unknowns is sometimes called an underdetermined system. Suppose that such a system happens to be consistent. Explain why there must be an infinite number of solutions. 29. no, the system has infinitely many solutions. due to the unkowns, there must be at least one free variable, such that it can take in finctly many dif ferent values. 31. A system of linear equations with more equations than un- knowns is sometimes called an overdetermined system. Can such a system be consistent? Illustrate your answer with a specific system of three equations in two unknowns. 31. xx =3 2x1-x) =0 3x1 +3xy = 9 113 2-1 0|+-2Ri + Ro & -3Ri+R3 339 101 012 000 =1 2 x 1 x= the system is [consistent and has a unique solution.
