2. CONSISTENCY OF SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS
CONSISTENT SYSTEM
A system of equations is said to be
consistent if its solution (one or more)
exists
INCONSISTENT SYSTEM
A system of equations is said to be
inconsistent if its solution does not exist.
3. SOLUTION OF SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS
USING INVERSE OF A MATRIX
A System of linear equations can
be expressed as matrix equation
and can be solved using the
inverse of the coefficient matrix

7. SOLUTION OF SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS
If A is singular then
We calculate adj(A)B
If adj(A)B = O then the system will have
infinite solutions
If adj(A)B ≠ O then the system will have
no solution
