Study Notes

Graphs of Systems of Equations

  • A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same variables.
  • Solutions to a system of equations are ordered pairs that satisfy all equations in the system.
  • A system of two linear equations can have one solution, an infinite number of solutions, or no solution.
  • A system of equations is consistent if there is at least one ordered pair satisfying all equations.
  • Consistent systems with exactly one solution are independent; their graphs intersect at one point.
  • Consistent systems with an infinite number of solutions are dependent; their graphs are the same line.
  • A system of equations is inconsistent if there are no ordered pairs that satisfy all equations; their graphs are parallel and do not intersect.

Consistent Systems

  • To determine the number of solutions a system has using a graph, observe the intersection of the lines.
  • If the lines intersect at one point, there is exactly one solution and it is consistent and independent.

Inconsistent Systems

  • If the graphs of two lines are parallel, there is no solution.
  • Parallel lines indicate an inconsistent system.

Number of Solutions, Equations in Slope-Intercept Form

  • In slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), parallel lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts.
  • A system with parallel lines has no solution and is inconsistent.
  • Two lines can have different slope and different y-intercept, and have one solution.

Number of Solutions, Equations in Standard Form

  • If the slopes and y-intercepts are the same, the graphs of the two lines are the same.
  • Same line graphs reflect infinite number of solutions, and the system is defined as consistent and dependent

Solving Systems of Equations by Graphing

  • Graph each equation to solve a system of equations.
  • Each point on a line represents a solution to the equation.
  • The solution to the system is the point where the graphs intersect.

Solve a System by Graphing

  • To check a solution, substitute the x and y values into both equations to ensure they are true.

Graph and Solve a System of Equations

  • If lines have the same slope but different y-intercepts, they are parallel, and the system has no solution, which would be inconsistent.

Solving Systems of Equations by Substitution

  • Substitution is an algebraic method used to solve systems of equations, resulting in exact solutions, or an ordered pair.
  • The substitution method involves solving one equation for one variable and substituting that expression into the other equation.

Substitution Method Steps:

  • Solve at least one equation for one variable (if necessary).
  • Substitute the resulting expression into the other equation, replacing the variable.
  • Solve the equation.
  • Substitute the value obtained in Step 2 into either equation to solve for the other variable, and write the solution as an ordered pair.

Use Substitution When There are No or Many Solutions

  • The equations are an identity, indicating an infinite number of solutions, or dependent.

Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination with Addition

  • Elimination involves combining equations to eliminate a variable through addition in order to solve the system.
  • Align like terms with opposite coefficients.
  • Add the equations, eliminating one variable, then solve the resulting equation.
  • Substitute the value into one of the original equations and solve for the other variable.

Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination with Subtraction

  • When the coefficients on a variable are the same in two equations, eliminate the variable by subtracting one equation from the other.
  • Align like terms with same coefficients.
  • Subtract one equation from the other, eliminating one variable.
  • Substitute the value into one of the original equations and solve for the other variable.

Solving Systems of Equations by Elimination with Multiplication

  • Step 1: Multiply at least one equation by a constant to obtain two equations that contain opposite terms.
  • Step 2: Add the equations, thus eliminating one variable, then solve the equation.
  • Step 3: Substitute the from Step 2 into one of the equations and solve for the other variable.

Systems of Inequalities

  • A system of inequalities consists of two or more inequalities with the same variables.
  • A solution of systems of inequalities, can be seen as the intersection of the graphs of the inequalities.

Solve by Graphing

  • The boundary of an inequality can be dashed, indicating that it isn't included, or solid, indicating that it is included.
  • The graph of two inequalities, is where the equations intersect

Solve by Graphing, No Solution

  • Graphs that are parallel do not touch, and have no solution
