Consider the system, a 1 x + b 1 y + c 1 z = d 1

Question:

Consider the system, a1x + b1y + c1z = d1, a2x + b2y + c2z = dof two equations in three unknowns.

(a) Use the fact that the graph of each such equation is a plane in xyz-space to explain why such a system always has either no solution or infinitely many solutions.

(b) Explain why the system must have infinitely many solutions if d1 = 0 = d2.
