Let \( A \vec{x}=\vec{b} \) be a system of 5 linear equations in 6 unknowns. Which one of the following statements \( < \) strong \( > \) MUST \( \) strong \( > \) be \( < \) strong \( > \) false \( \) strong \( > \) ? A. The system might have a one-parameter family of solutions. B. The system might have no solution. C. The system might have a unique solution. D. The system might have a two-parameter family of solutions. E. The system might have a three-parameter family of solutions.
Which one of the following statements is false? A. If \( A \) is any \( 5 \times 5 \) matrix with \( \operatorname{rank}(A)=4 \), then the linear system \( A \vec{x}=\vec{b} \), with \( \vec{b} \neq \overrightarrow{0} \), must have infinitely many solutions. B. If \( A \) is any \( 5 \times 5 \) invertible matrix, then the linear system \( A \vec{x}=\overrightarrow{0} \) has a unique solution. C. Any homogeneous system of 5 linear equations in 7 unknowns always has a nontrivial solution. D. If \( A \) is any \( 5 \times 5 \) matrix with \( \operatorname{rank}(A)=5 \), then \( A \) is invertible. Reset Selection
