Study Notes
Systems of Linear Equations
- A linear system can be represented by equations, such as 2x - 3y = 1 or 4x1 + 5x2 = 3.
- The solution of a linear system is the set of values that satisfy all equations simultaneously.
- A 3-tuple (x1, x2, x3) can be checked for its validity as a solution by substituting into the corresponding equations.
Types of Equations
- Linear equations can be expressed in standard form, typically written as ax + by + cz = d.
- Systems may contain multiple variables, as seen in examples involving variables x1, x2, and x3.
Augmented Matrices
- Augmented matrices represent systems of linear equations in a compact form, combining coefficients and constants.
- Operations on augmented matrices mirror operations on the equations they represent, allowing for simplified computation.
Elementary Row Operations
- Key operations are used to manipulate the matrix without changing the solution:
- Multiply a row by a nonzero constant.
- Interchange two rows.
- Add a constant multiple of one row to another.
Row Echelon and Reduced Row Echelon Form
- A matrix in reduced row echelon form (RREF) has specific properties:
- Leading entry in each non-zero row is 1 (leading 1).
- Zero rows are at the bottom.
- Leading 1s in successive rows are further right.
- Each leading 1's column contains zeros elsewhere.
- Row echelon form (REF) lacks the strict requirements on leading coefficients being 1.
Example Matrices in Forms
- Several matrix examples illustrate the concepts of RREF and REF.
- Example RREF:
| 1 0 0 | a | | 0 1 0 | b | | 0 0 1 | c | - Example REF, not in RREF:
| 1 2 0 | d | | 0 3 1 | e |
