Question

Which statement is true.

a. Solving a linear system is the same as finding the solution set of the system.
b. The solution set of a linear system can always be expressed using a parametric description.

Answer 1

1st is true.

2nd is false.

Explanation:

a. Solving a linear system is the same as finding the solution set of the system. True.

In both we have to find how many equations can be there in a system.

b. The solution set of a linear system can always be expressed using a parametric description. False.

The solution set of a linear system can only be expressed using a parametric description if the system has at least one solution.
