In this question, we are given the row reduced echelon forms and we are asked to determine if they give the corresponding equations are consistent or not, dependent or independent, and find the solutions.
00:15
So in the first matrix, the first line corresponds to the equation x1 equals to 3, the second line is x2 equals to negative 2, and the third line is x3 equals 4.
00:31
And that's the unique solution of the given system of equations.
00:37
So the system of equations is consistent and it's consistent and it's independent because there are no free variables.
00:52
Let's move on to the next matrix.
00:55
The first line corresponds to the equation x1 minus x3 equals to 3.
01:00
The second line is x2 plus 2x3 equals to negative 2.
01:06
And the third line is 0x1 plus 0x2 plus 0x3 equals to 4, which simplifies to 0 equals 4.
01:19
Well, that's impossible, right? 0 cannot be equal to 4.
01:25
And that simply means that the equation is inconsistent, so and it doesn't have solutions...
