Parametric linear equations problems - easy
Problem №1
Find the value of
a
, for which the equation
has no solutions.
Solution:
If we can divide by
a
, there is always the solution
. Let's check the case where we cannot divide by
a
, in other words
a=0
. We get the equation
, which has no solutions. Therefore the answer to the problem is
a=0
.
Problem №2
Find the value of the real paramter
a
, for which the equation
has any
x
for solution.
Solution:
For an equation to have any
x
as solution, it must be of the form
0x=0
. Which means that
, or
a=2
.
Problem №3
Find the value of the parameter
b
, for which the equation
0x=b-7
has at least one solution
x
.
Solution:
For any
x
, the value of the left side is zero. We get
b-7=0
, or
b=7
. By substituting, we get
0x=0
, which has infinitely many solutions.
Problem №4
Solve the equation for
a=3
:
Solution:
We subtract
a
from both sides of the equation to get
. We substitute
a=3
:
Problem №5
Find the value of
a
, for which the equation
is not defined.
Solution:
If the equation is to be not defined, then a denominator must be zero. The only denominator is
, so we get
Problem №6
Solve the equation
for
Solution:
We directly substitute:
Problem №7
Solve the equation
for
a=4
.
Solution:
We substitute:
Problem №8
Solve the parametric linear equation
for
a=-2
.
Solution:
We substitute:
Problem №9
Solve the equation
for
a=17
.
Solution:
We directly substitute:
