Homework Statement



x + 4y + z = 0
4x + 13y + 7z = 0
7x + 22y + 13z = 1

Homework Equations


The Attempt at a Solution



x + 4y + z = 0
- 3y + 3z = 0
-6y + 6z = 1

x + 4y + z = 0
-y + z = 0
-6y + 6z = 1

Then whichever way I solve it I have 0=1 or 0=1/6, so where to go from here or is there just no solution?

First of all, the problem statement is NOT just
x + 4y + z = 0
4x + 13y + 7z = 0
7x + 22y + 13z = 1

That's not a "problem", that's a system of equations. What are asked to do with them?
 
Sorry I had only put it in the title of the thread.

Find all solutions of the linear system. Describe your solution in terms of intersecting planes.
 
Thread 'Use greedy vertex coloring algorithm to prove the upper bound of χ'
Hi! I am struggling with the exercise I mentioned under "Homework statement". The exercise is about a specific "greedy vertex coloring algorithm". One definition (which matches what my book uses) can be found here: https://people.cs.uchicago.edu/~laci/HANDOUTS/greedycoloring.pdf Here is also a screenshot of the relevant parts of the linked PDF, i.e. the def. of the algorithm: Sadly I don't have much to show as far as a solution attempt goes, as I am stuck on how to proceed. I thought...
