Document Summary

Any linear system"s solution set has the form: { + + + + such that are real numbers} Def: a square matrix (nxn) is singular if (a|) has a unique solution. Example: is singular because has a unique solution. 1. 3. 1 gauss-jordan reduction (read left to right) x y - 2w = 2 x + y + 3z + w = 1. Y + z - w = 0. Simplified, we would say x=w+, y=w - , z= - , w=w+0. This means the solution set is: w given that w is a real number. Definition: we say that two matrices are row equivalent if it is possible to perform elementary row operations to turn one row into another. With these matrices, simple operations make these matrices identical. This means that the two matrices are row equivalent, or that they have an equivalence relation. Theorem: every matrix is row equivalent to a unique reduced row echelon form matrix.
