DEFINITION:

A system of linear equations is said to


be homogeneous if it can be written in
the form A
x=
0. Otherwise, it is nonhomogeneous.
EXAMPLE:


3x1 + 5x2 = 0
6x1 + 2x2 = 0

HOMOGENEOUS

3x1 + 5x2 = 1
6x1 + 2x2 = 0

NONHOMOGEN.

THEOREM:
Suppose the equation A
x=
b is consistent for some given
b, and let p be a solution. Then the solution set of A
x=
b
is the set of all vectors of the form
w
= p + v
h,
where v
h is any solution of the homogeneous equation A
x=
0.

THEOREM:
Let A be an m n matrix. Then the
following statements are logically equivalent:
1. A homogeneous system A
x=
0 has
only the trivial solution.
2. There are no free variables.
3. Number of columns of A = Number
of pivot positions.

DEFINITION:
Vectors v
1, . . . , v
p are said to be linearly
dependent if there exist scalars c1, . . . , cp,
not all zero, such that
c1 v
1 + . . . + cpv
p =
0.
Vectors v
1, . . . , v
p are said to be linearly
independent if the vector equation
c1 v
1 + . . . + cpv
p =
0
has only the trivial solution.
EXAMPLE: Vectors
