  9. Solve the System

  10. Elementary Operations • Interchange the order in which the equations are listed. • Multiply any equation by a nonzero number. • Replace any equation with itself added to a multiple of another equation.

  11. Augmented Matrix

  12. Row Operations • Switch two rows. • Multiply any row by a nonzero number. • Replace any row by a multiple of another row added to it.

  13. Solve the System

  14. Echelon Form A rectangular matrix is in echelon form if it has the following properties: 1. All nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros. 2. Each leading entry of a row is in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above it.

  15. Echelon Form

  16. Echelon Form

  17. Pivot Positions and Pivot Columns The positions of the first nonzero entry in each row are called the pivot positions. The columns containing a pivot position are called the pivot columns.

  18. Types of Solutions 1. No solution – the augmented column is a pivot column. 2. A unique solution – every column except the augmented column is a pivot column. 3. An infinite number of solutions – some column of the coefficient matrix is not a pivot column. The variables corresponding to the columns that are not pivot columns are assigned parameters. These variables are called the free variables. The other variables may be solved in terms of the parameters and are called basic variables or leading variables.

  29. Rank The rank of a matrix is the number of nonzero rows in its row echelon form. Rank Theorem Let A be the coefficient matrix of a system of linear equations with n variables. If the system is consistent, then Number of free variable = n – rank(A)
