Find the values of k , if any, for which the following system of equations has
i) no solutions,
ii) infinitely many solutions
and
iii) a unique solution. Solve and find the unique solution.

(k+1)*(X1) + 3*(X2) - (X3) =22

2*(X1) + K*(X2) + (X3) =14

(X1) + 4*(X2) + (X3) =20

Hi orgekas! Welcome to MHB! (Smile)

We ask that our users show their progress (work thus far or thoughts on how to begin) when posting questions. This way our helpers can see where you are stuck or may be going astray and will be able to post the best help possible without potentially making a suggestion which you have already tried, which would waste your time and that of the helper.

Can you post what you have done so far?
 
Ok. I solved it now I don't any help. Thanks I'll include my working out in my future posts.
Thank you.
 
Thread 'How to define a vector field?'
Hello! In one book I saw that function ##V## of 3 variables ##V_x, V_y, V_z## (vector field in 3D) can be decomposed in a Taylor series without higher-order terms (partial derivative of second power and higher) at point ##(0,0,0)## such way: I think so: higher-order terms can be neglected because partial derivative of second power and higher are equal to 0. Is this true? And how to define vector field correctly for this case? (In the book I found nothing and my attempt was wrong...
