Exercise 15

Avg difficulty 3.0

The Linear Combination Lemma says which equations can be gotten from Gaussian reduction of a given linear system.

  1. Produce an equation not implied by this system.

    3x+4y=82x+y=3\begin{array}{rcrcr}3x&+&4y&=&8\\ 2x&+&y&=&3\end{array}
  2. Can any equation be derived from an inconsistent system?
