Study Notes

Row Operations

  • Multiplying a row by a constant:
    • $R_i \to kR_i$
    • Multiply each element in row $R_i$ by the constant $k$.
  • Adding a multiple of a row to another row:
    • $R_i \to R_i + kR_j$
    • Multiply each element in row $R_j$ by the constant $k$ and add the result to the corresponding element in row $R_i$.

Column Operations

  • Multiplying a column by a constant:
    • $C_j \to kC_j$
    • Multiply each element in column $C_j$ by constant $k$.
  • Adding a multiple of a column to another column:
    • $C_i \to C_i + kC_j$
    • Multiply each element in column $C_j$ by the constant $k$ and add the result to the corresponding element in column $C_i$.
