The details for Archetype J (System with
six equations,
nine variables.
Consistent.
Null space of coefficient matrix has dimension 5.)

include several sample solutions.

Verify that one of these solutions is correct (any one, but just one).
Based only on this evidence, and especially without doing any row operations,
explain how you know this system of linear equations has infinitely many solutions

Ok the only thing I can think of the there is more variables than equations so you cannot have a unique solution
also I didn't know exactly what "Null space of coefficient matrix has dimension 5" meant

1) Say you have two lines [math]y = ax + b[/math] and [math]y = 3x - 7[/math]. How many solutions does this have?

2) Say you have two lines [math]y = ax + b[/math] and [math]y = -ax - b[/math]. How many solutions does this have?

3) Say you have two lines [math]y = ax + b[/math] and [math]y = ax[/math]. ([math]b \neq 0[/math].) How many solutions does this have?

Now take a look at the coefficient matrix for each. What is the determinant of each? What does that tell you?

I asked online questions about Proposition 2.1.1: The answer I got is the following: I have some questions about the answer I got. When the person answering says: ##1.## Is the map ##\mathfrak{q}\mapsto \mathfrak{q} A _\mathfrak{p}## from ##A\setminus \mathfrak{p}\to A_\mathfrak{p}##? But I don't understand what the author meant for the rest of the sentence in mathematical notation: ##2.## In the next statement where the author says: How is ##A\to...
The following are taken from the two sources, 1) from this online page and the book An Introduction to Module Theory by: Ibrahim Assem, Flavio U. Coelho. In the Abelian Categories chapter in the module theory text on page 157, right after presenting IV.2.21 Definition, the authors states "Image and coimage may or may not exist, but if they do, then they are unique up to isomorphism (because so are kernels and cokernels). Also in the reference url page above, the authors present two...
When decomposing a representation ##\rho## of a finite group ##G## into irreducible representations, we can find the number of times the representation contains a particular irrep ##\rho_0## through the character inner product $$ \langle \chi, \chi_0\rangle = \frac{1}{|G|} \sum_{g\in G} \chi(g) \chi_0(g)^*$$ where ##\chi## and ##\chi_0## are the characters of ##\rho## and ##\rho_0##, respectively. Since all group elements in the same conjugacy class have the same characters, this may be...
