Fórmula

Cramer's rule solves a system of linear equations using determinants. For a 2×2 system: x = Dx/D, y = Dy/D, where D is the coefficient determinant, Dx replaces the x-column with constants, and Dy replaces the y-column. If D = 0, the system has no unique solution.

Preguntas Frecuentes

What is Cramer's rule?
Cramer's rule is a method for solving systems of linear equations using determinants. Each variable equals the ratio of a modified determinant (where one column is replaced by the constants) to the main coefficient determinant.
When does a system have no solution?
A system has no solution when the coefficient determinant D = 0 and at least one of the numerator determinants (Dx, Dy, Dz) is non-zero. This means the equations are contradictory.
When does a system have infinitely many solutions?
A system has infinitely many solutions when D = 0 and all numerator determinants are also zero. This means the equations are dependent — they describe the same line or plane.
Can I solve a 3×3 system with this calculator?
Yes. Switch to 3×3 mode to enter 9 coefficients and 3 constants. The calculator uses 3×3 determinants via Cramer's rule to find x, y, and z.
