Linear Algebra True/False Quiz

The document contains true/false questions about systems of linear equations, vectors, matrices, determinants, eigenvalues and eigenvectors, orthogonal projection, and symmetric/orthonormal matrices. If a system of linear equations has two different solutions, it must have infinitely many solutions. If a consistent system of linear equations is modified by changing the constants on the right-hand side, the modified system will also have many solutions.

""

am1 x1 + am 2 x2 + " + amn xn = bm

has at least two different

solutions, and if the equation set
