Y12 - Consistency Decision Tree

The document outlines a flowchart for determining the consistency of a system of equations represented by planes. It categorizes the outcomes based on the relationships between the coefficients and the nature of the planes, leading to classifications of consistent or inconsistent systems. The possible results include singular matrices, parallel planes, and planes intersecting at points or lines, indicating the nature of solutions available.
