A system AX = O (where O is the zero matrix) is called:

Show answer

Homogeneous

A system is homogeneous when all constant terms are zero, i.e., B = O.

2true false
1 marks

A homogeneous system AX = O is always consistent.

Show answer

True

X = O (trivial solution) always satisfies AX=O. So a homogeneous system always has at least one solution and is therefore always consistent.

The formula for A⁻¹ in terms of adj A is:

Show answer

A⁻¹ = adj A / |A|

A⁻¹ = (adj A)/|A|. This requires |A| ≠ 0.

4multiple choice

If C_ij is the cofactor of element a_ij, then the cofactor C_ij equals:

Show answer

(−1)^(i+j) × M_ij

Cofactor = (−1)^(i+j) × minor. The sign alternates in a checkerboard pattern.
