Unit 4: Solution of Linear Algebraic Equations – Exam Revision Notes
1. Introduction 2. Existence and Types of Solutions A system ( A\mathbf{x} = \mathbf{b} ) may have: 3. Consistency of Linear System A system is consistent if it has at least one solution, i.e.,[\text{Rank}(A) = \text{Rank}([A|B])]If (\text{Rank}(A) < \text{Rank}([A|B])), then the system is inconsistent. 4. Direct Methods These methods give exact (or nearly exact) solutions…
