Question

Determine the value(s) of h such that the matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system.

Select the correct choice below and, if necessary, fill in the answer box to complete your choice.

The matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system if

hequals=nothing.

(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

The matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system if

hnot equalsnothing.

(Use a comma to separate answers as needed. Type an integer or a simplified fraction.)

The matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system for every value of h.

The matrix is not the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system for any value of h.

Determine the value(s) of h such that the matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system. 25 10 h 2 5

After the row operation R1+5R2, the given matrix changes to

h+25

-5

-2

Thus, the given matrix is the augmented matrix of a consistent linear system if h = -25.

Option A is the correct answer.

h+25

-5

-2
