1x + hy = 4
3x + 6y = 8
1x + hx2 = 4
3x + 6x2 = 8
I don't know how to solve this. When I try replacement, interchange, and scaling, I still have the h value unsolved. I keep going around in circles
Really?? Did you bother to read the thread?If all three of x, x2, and h are unknown then there is no unique solution set.
There's only the one h in the question
Really?? Did you bother to read the thread?If all three of x, x2, and h are unknown then there is no unique solution set. You can choose an independent variable and write the other quantities as functions of that variable....
So if \(\displaystyle h\ne 2\) then for each h there is an unique solution.
That solution is here.
