Inconsistent | A system of equations that has no solutions. |
Independent | A system of equations that has exactly one solution. |
Dependent | A consistent system of equations that has an infinite number of solutions. |
Substitution Method | A method of solving a system of equation in which one equation is solved for one variable in terms of another. |
Elimination Method | Eliminate one of the variables in a system of equations by adding or subtracting the equations. |
System of Inequalities | A set of inequalities with the same variables. |
Constraints | Conditions given to variables, often expressed as linear inequalities. |
Feasible Region | The intersection of the graphs in a system of constraints. |
Bounded | A region is bounded when the graph of a system of constraints is a polygonal region. |
