Study Notes
Finding Rank with Normal Form
- The rank of a matrix is the number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix.
- The normal form of a matrix is obtained by performing elementary row operations to transform the matrix into a form where the leading non-zero entry in each row is 1 and all other entries in the same column are 0.
- To find the rank of the matrix ( A = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -3 & 3 & -1 \ 1 & -1 & 0 \ 2 & -5 & 2 & -3 \ -1 & 1 & 0 \end{bmatrix} ), perform elementary row operations to obtain its normal form.
- The number of non-zero rows in the normal form of ( A ) will be its rank.
Inverting a Matrix with Gauss-Jordan Method
- To find the inverse of a matrix ( A ), we start with the augmented matrix ([A|I]), where ( I ) is the identity matrix of the same order as ( A ).
- Perform elementary row operations on ([A|I]) to transform the left side into the identity matrix. The right side will then become the inverse of ( A ).
- To find the inverse of ( A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \ 1 & 4 \ 1 & 3 \end{bmatrix} ), augment it with the 3x3 identity matrix and perform elementary row operations to obtain the inverse matrix.
Determining Values for Consistent Equations
- A system of linear equations has solutions if and only if the rank of the coefficient matrix is equal to the rank of the augmented matrix.
- To determine the value of ( b ) for which the equations have solutions, write the equations in the form of an augmented matrix and perform elementary row operations to find the ranks of the coefficient and augmented matrices.
- If the ranks are equal, the equations have solutions. If the ranks are different, the equations have no solutions.
