Question: Consider the system of linear equations x - y = 2 k x - y = k ( a ) Reduce the augmented matrix for

Consider the system of linear equations
x-y=2
kx-y=k
(a) Reduce the augmented matrix for this system to row-echelon (or upper-triangular)
 
form. (You do not need to make the leading nonzero entries 1.) 

 
(b) Find the values of k(if any) when the system has
i. no solutions,
ii. exactly one solution (if this is possible, find the solution in terms of k),
iii. infinitely many solutions (if this is possible, find the solutions).
