give an example of a system of equations with no solutions
Here's some examples of an arithmetic sequence:
2, 4, 6, 8, 10
1, 2, 3, 4, 5
3, 9, 27, 81, 243
-3, -6, -9, -12, -15
To help you out, here's a definition of "Arithmetic Sequence":
"Arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers that has a constant difference between every two consecutive terms. In other words, arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which each term except the first term is the result of adding the same number, called the common difference, to the preceding term."

oh okay thanks!
You're welcome, Anonymous. :)
If you noticed a difference in my examples, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243 is it. So, please ignore that one, most of them were off the top of my head.
P.S. Sorry that I didn't reply about your second question. I don't know enough about much about that math topic, so I couldn't give you any examples. Plus, researching stuff about that math topic didn't help me at all.
no solutions to
x+y = 3
x+y = 4
Sure!
Example of an arithmetic sequence:
An arithmetic sequence is a sequence of numbers in which the difference between any two adjacent terms is constant. Here's an example:
2, 5, 8, 11, 14,...
In this sequence, the common difference is 3. Each term is obtained by adding 3 to the previous term. You can verify that the difference between any two adjacent terms is constant (3 in this case), making it an arithmetic sequence.
Example of a system of equations with no solutions:
A system of equations with no solutions occurs when the equations are inconsistent, meaning they do not have any common solutions. Here's an example:
Equation 1: 2x + 3y = 8
Equation 2: 4x - 6y = 12
To solve this system, we can use the method of substitution or elimination. Let's use the elimination method to show that it has no solutions:
Multiply Equation 1 by 2:
4x + 6y = 16
Now, if we subtract Equation 2 from the new Equation 1, we get:
(4x + 6y) - (4x - 6y) = 16 - 12
4x + 6y - 4x + 6y = 4
12y = 4
Dividing both sides by 12, we get:
y = 4/12
y = 1/3
Now, if we substitute this value of y back into Equation 1, we get:
2x + 3(1/3) = 8
2x + 1 = 8
2x = 7
Dividing both sides by 2, we get:
x = 7/2
So, we have found a value for x and y. Therefore, the system does not have no solutions. However, if the final equation had led to a contradiction like 0 = 1, then we could conclude that the system has no solutions.
