Study Notes
System of Linear Equations
- Comprises two or more linear equalities involving the same variable.
System of Inequalities
- Consists of two or more inequalities that share the same variable.
Break Even Point
- The critical point where income equals expenses, indicating no profit or loss.
Consistent Systems
- Defines a system with exactly one solution, indicating that the lines intersect at a single point.
Inconsistent Systems
- Characterizes a system that has no solution, often resulting in parallel lines that never intersect.
Independent Systems
- Describes a system with only one unique solution, where the lines cross at one point.
Dependent Systems
- Refers to a system that has an infinite number of solutions, where the equations effectively describe the same line.
Substitution Method
- A technique where one variable is expressed from one equation and substituted into another equation in the system.
Elimination Method
- A strategy used to remove one variable by using subtraction between two equations, especially when they share the same coefficient.
Linear Programming
- A mathematical method for determining the maximum or minimum value of a function subject to a set of inequalities, where each inequality represents a limitation or constraint.
Feasible Region
- The area in a graph representing all possible solutions, defined by the vertices of the solution set for the inequalities.
