If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions. this statement is false, could you explain why and give an example?

False. See the explanation below.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to proof if the following statement "If a linear system has four equations and seven variables, then it must have infinitely many solutions." is false.

And the best way to proof that is false is with a counterexample.

Let's assume that we have seven random variables given by and we have the following four equations given by the following system:

  (1)

   (2)

  (3)

  (4)

As we can see we have system and is inconsistent since equation (1) is not satisfied by equation (2) ,(3) and (4) if we add those equations we got:

So then we can have a system of 7 variables and 4 equations inconsistent and with not infinitely solutions for this reason the statement is false.

plants store their excess carbohydrate in the form of starch so that it could be used as energy source later on. the excess carbohydrate is converted into starch in the plastid i.e. chloroplast & this process occurs in the presence of sunlight. it is an insoluble polymer of glucose which gets stored in cell organelles named as amyloplasts. in some plants, starch is also stored in roots and embryos.
