If the only solution to Ax = b is the trivial solution, then is that solution considered unique?

A trivial solution is a solution that is always true, regardless of the variables or inputs. A unique solution is a solution that is the only possible answer to a given problem.
No, a problem can only have one type of solution. If a problem has a unique solution, it cannot also have a trivial solution.
To determine if a solution is trivial or unique, you must first define the problem and the variables involved. Then, you can plug in the values of the variables and see if the solution always holds true or if it is the only possible answer.
No, the trivial solution is not always the simplest solution. While it may be simple in its form, it may not be the most efficient or effective solution for a given problem.
Trivial solutions can be useful in scientific research as they provide a starting point for more complex problems. They can also help researchers understand the relationships between variables and identify patterns in data.
