The discussion revolves around the challenge of representing the equation x = -10 in matrix form. Participants express confusion about how to create a matrix from a single equation, with some suggesting it might be undefined. One idea proposed is to create a simple matrix with the value [-10], while another suggests using a diagonal matrix format, like x = (-10)I. Overall, the conversation highlights the difficulty in visualizing a single variable equation as a matrix. The topic emphasizes the need for clarity in mathematical representation.

Write a matrix to display the information: x=-10.

I'm thinking this matrix would be undefined but I can't remember why I think it should be! Eek!

This makes no sense. How are you supposed to get a matrix to display an equation?
 
If you can create your own simultaneous equations, then all you have to do is create an augmented matrix and you're done.
 
Thats what I'm saying! This question absolutely boggles me. I don't understand how to make a matrix out of this unless it is simply [-10].
 
funny idea, but maybe you could try making it like x = (-10)I
so it'll be like a matrix with a diagonal of -10
