In the same way, an extension K 2 of K 1 can be constructed, etc. The union of all these extensions is the algebraic closure of K , because any polynomial with coefficients in this new field has its coefficients in some K n with sufficiently large n , and then its roots are in K n +1 , and hence in the union itself.
In the 2×2 case, if the coefficient determinant is zero, then the system is inconsistent if the numerator determinants are nonzero, or indeterminate if the numerator determinants are zero. For 3×3 or higher systems, the only thing one can say when the coefficient determinant equals zero is that if any of the numerator determinants are nonzero ...
