Matrix Geometric Interpretations

?
If the matrix is singular...
...det M = 0, so there can be infinite solutions or no solutions
1 of 7
What is a consistent system?
When there is a solution (one or infinite)
2 of 7
What is an inconsistent system?
When there are no solutions
3 of 7
Geometric interpretation of system having one solution?
All three planes meet at one point
4 of 7
Geometric interpretation of system having no solutions?
A prism or the multiple planes are parallel
