The row echelon form of the matrix is presented as follows;
The row echelon form of a matrix has the rows consisting entirely of zeros at the bottom, and the first entry of a row that is not entirely zero is a one.
The given matrix is presented as follows;
The conditions of a matrix in the row echelon form are as follows;
- There are row having nonzero entries above the zero rows.
- The first nonzero entry in a nonzero row is a one.
- The location of the leading one in a nonzero row is to the left of the leading one in the next lower rows.
Dividing Row 1 by -3 gives:
Multiplying Row 1 by 2 and subtracting the result from Row 2 gives;
Subtracting Row 1 from Row 3 gives;
Adding Row 2 to Row 3 gives;
Dividing Row 2 by -2, and Row 3 by 18 gives;
The above matrix is in the row echelon form
