The video tutorial explores the problem of finding the number of 3x3 matrices with entries of zero or one, where the matrix equation has exactly two distinct solutions. It explains the setup of the matrix equation, the possible solutions (one, none, or infinite), and concludes that having exactly two distinct solutions is impossible. The tutorial uses visualizations of planes intersecting in three-dimensional space to illustrate the concepts.

What is the main problem discussed in the video?

• Finding the number of 3x3 matrices with entries of zero or one that have exactly two distinct solutions.

• Solving a 3x3 matrix equation with infinite solutions.

• Finding the determinant of a 3x3 matrix.

• Determining the number of solutions for a 2x2 matrix.

How is the matrix equation represented in terms of planes?

• As a single line in two-dimensional space.

What is the result if all coefficients in the second and third equations are zero?

• The system is inconsistent.

• Any x, y, and z will satisfy the equations.

• There is no solution.

• There is exactly one solution.

Why is it impossible to have exactly two distinct solutions?

• Because the planes can only intersect in one point, no points, or infinitely many points.

• Because the matrix is not invertible.

• Because the determinant of the matrix is zero.

• Because the planes are always parallel.
