Math Problem Statement
Solution
Let's analyze the equations one by one to determine which result in infinite solutions. For infinite solutions, both sides of the equation must simplify to the same expression (e.g., ).
1.
Simplify both sides: So, the equation becomes: This is true for all values of , meaning this equation has infinite solutions.
2.
Simplify both sides: Thus, the equation becomes: This is a linear equation, and solving it gives: This equation has one solution, .
3.
Simplify: This is false, so the equation has no solution.
4.
