We want to see how many solutions has an equation given some restrictions on the vectors of the equation.

We have 3 vectors in R2.

v₁, v₂, and v₃.

Where we know that v₁ and v₂ are parallel. And two vectors are parallel if one is a scalar times the other.

Then we can write:

v₂ = c*v₁

Where c is a real number.

Then our system:

x*v₁ + y*v₂ = v₃

Can be rewriten to:

x*v₁ + y*c*v₁ = v₃

(x + y*c)*v₁ = v₃

Assuming x, y, and c are real numbers, this only has a solution if v₁ is also parallel to v₃, because as you can see, the equation says that v₃ is a scallar times v₁.

Geometrically, this means that if we sum two parallel vectors, we will get a vector that is parallel to the two that we added.

How many solutions does the equation −3x−17=−17−3x have?
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

an infinite number of solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

−3x −17 = −17 −3x

left side = right side  TRUE because -3x-17 is the same as -17-3x

we can rearrange  the the equation

−3x −17 +17 = −17 +17−3x, add 17 on both sides of the equations

            -3x = -3x, divide both sides by (-3)

               x = x

Since this equation is <u>always true ( for any number ) </u>we have <u>an infinite number of solutions</u> (since there are is an infinity of numbers.)
