In the systems of equation determine whether the system has a unique solution, no solution or infinite solutions. In case there is a unique solution, find it:2x + y = 5; 4x + 2y = 10

Answer»

The given system of equations is: 

2x + y – 5 = 0 

4x + 2y – 10 = 0 

The above equations are of the form 

a1 x + b1 y − c1 = 0 

a2 x + b2 y − c2 = 0 

Here, a1 = 2, b1 = 1, c1 = −5 

a2 = 4, b2 = 2, c2 = −10

So according to the question, we get 

\(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\) = \(\frac{2}{4}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) 

\(\frac{b_1}{ b_2}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) and, 

\(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) = \(\frac{−5}{−10}\) = \(\frac{1}{2}\) 

\(\frac{a_1}{a_2}\) = \(\frac{b_1}{ b_2}\) = \(\frac{c_1}{c_2}\) 

Hence, we can conclude that the given system of equation has infinity many solutions.
