Hello,
How am I to find then number of independent equations in a set using matrix techniques?
Thanks

Linear algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with linear equations and their representations in vector spaces. It involves the study of linear transformations, matrices, and systems of linear equations.
Linear algebra can be used to find independent equations by representing a system of equations as a matrix and using Gaussian elimination or other methods to reduce the matrix to its row-echelon form. The number of non-zero rows in the row-echelon form of the matrix is equal to the number of independent equations in the system.
Finding independent equations is important because it helps to determine the number of unique solutions to a system of linear equations. In other words, it tells us how many independent variables we need to find in order to solve the system.
No, linear algebra can only be used to solve systems of linear equations. Non-linear equations involve terms with powers greater than one, making them non-linear in nature and not solvable using linear algebra methods.
Linear algebra is a fundamental tool in many fields, such as physics, engineering, economics, and computer graphics. It is used to model and solve real-world problems involving linear relationships, such as optimization, data analysis, and image processing.
