Math Problem Statement

Consider the following systems of linear equations (all in three variables x1, x2, x3). Find if there is any solution (i.e. the system is consistent). If there are solutions, find them all and write the solution set. e) 0 = 0, 0 = 0, 0 = 0

Solution

The given system of equations is:

0=0,0=0,0=00 = 0, \quad 0 = 0, \quad 0 = 0

Step-by-step analysis:

  1. Each of these equations is always true for any values of the variables x1x_1, x2x_2, and x3x_3.
  2. Since these equations impose no restrictions on x1x_1, x2x_2, and x3x_3, every possible combination of values for x1x_1, x2x_2, and x3x_3 will satisfy the system.

Conclusion:

The system is consistent and has infinitely many solutions.

Solution Set:

Since the system imposes no constraints, the solution set is the set of all points (x1,x2,x3)R3(x_1, x_2, x_3) \in \mathbb{R}^3. In set notation:

{(x1,x2,x3)x1,x2,x3R}\{ (x_1, x_2, x_3) \mid x_1, x_2, x_3 \in \mathbb{R} \}

This represents all real numbers for the variables x1x_1, x2x_2, and x3x_3.

Tip:

A system with equations like 0=00 = 0 is called indeterminate, meaning it holds for all values of the variables because these equations provide no information.
