Study Notes
Elementary Row Operations
- Replacement: A row can be replaced by the sum of itself and a multiple of another row.
- Interchange: Two rows can be swapped.
- Scaling: All entries in a row can be multiplied by a non-zero constant.
- Row operations are reversible.
- Row equivalent matrices represent linear systems with the same solution set.
Existence and Uniqueness of Linear Systems
- Two fundamental questions are crucial:
- Is the system consistent (having at least one solution)?
- If a solution exists, is it unique?
Solving Systems of Linear Equations
- Linear systems can have no solutions, one solution, or infinitely many solutions.
- A linear system is considered consistent if it has at least one solution.
- An inconsistent system has no solutions.
- The augmented matrix of a linear system represents the coefficients and constants from the equations.
- Elementary row operations can be used to manipulate the augmented matrix and solve the linear system.
- The goal is to transform the augmented matrix into a triangular form for easier analysis.
Matrix Notation
- The coefficient matrix consists of the coefficients of each variable in the linear system, arranged in columns.
- The augmented matrix is the coefficient matrix with an added column containing the constants from the right side of the equations in the linear system.
