  2. Extraneous and missing solutions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraneous_and_missing...

    Therefore, the solution = is extraneous and not valid, and the original equation has no solution. For this specific example, it could be recognized that (for the value x = − 2 {\displaystyle x=-2} ), the operation of multiplying by ( x2 ) ( x + 2 ) {\displaystyle (x-2)(x+2)} would be a multiplication by zero.

  3. Diophantine equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diophantine_equation

    Homogeneous Diophantine equations of degree two are easier to solve. The standard solving method proceeds in two steps. One has first to find one solution, or to prove that there is no solution. When a solution has been found, all solutions are then deduced. For proving that there is no solution, one may reduce the equation modulo p. For ...

  4. Equation solving - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equation_solving

    One particular solution is x = 0, y = 0, z = 0. Two other solutions are x = 3, y = 6, z = 1, and x = 8, y = 9, z = 2. There is a unique plane in three-dimensional space which passes through the three points with these coordinates, and this plane is the set of all points whose coordinates are solutions of the equation.

  5. Algebra - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Algebra

    The point where the two lines intersect is the solution of the full system because this is the only point that solves both the first and the second equation. For inconsistent systems, the two lines run parallel, meaning that there is no solution since they never intersect. If two equations are not independent then they describe the same line ...

  6. Coefficient matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coefficient_matrix

    By the Rouché–Capelli theorem, the system of equations is inconsistent, meaning it has no solutions, if the rank of the augmented matrix (the coefficient matrix augmented with an additional column consisting of the vector b) is greater than the rank of the coefficient matrix. If, on the other hand, the ranks of these two matrices are equal ...

  7. Indeterminate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indeterminate_system

    Let the system of equations be written in matrix form as = where is the coefficient matrix, is the vector of unknowns, and is an vector of constants. In which case, if the system is indeterminate, then the infinite solution set is the set of all vectors generated by [4]

  8. Consistent and inconsistent equations - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consistent_and...

    The system + =, + = has exactly one solution: x = 1, y = 2 The nonlinear system + =, + = has the two solutions (x, y) = (1, 0) and (x, y) = (0, 1), while + + =, + + =, + + = has an infinite number of solutions because the third equation is the first equation plus twice the second one and hence contains no independent information; thus any value of z can be chosen and values of x and y can be ...

  9. Singular solution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singular_solution

    Now we shall check when these solutions are singular solutions. If two solutions intersect each other, that is, they both go through the same point (x,y), then there is a failure of uniqueness for a first-order ordinary differential equation. Thus, there will be a failure of uniqueness if a solution of the first form intersects the second solution.
