Study Notes
Row Operations
- Row Replacement: Replacing a row by the sum of itself and a multiple of another row.
Row Echelon Form
- Leading entry: The first non-zero entry in each row (from left to right).
- Leading entries staircase: The leading entries of subsequent rows must be to the right of the leading entries of previous rows.
- Zero rows: All rows consisting entirely of zeroes (if any) must be at the bottom.
Reduced Row Echelon Form
- Leading entry (1): All leading entries are 1.
- Zero entries: All entries above each leading entry are 0.
Linear Equation
- Unknowns: Variables representing unknown values.
- Constants: Fixed values.
- Equal sign: Separates the expression with unknowns from the constant.
Linear Equation Terms
- Coefficients: The numbers multiplying the unknowns in a linear equation.
- Constant term: The value on the right side of the equal sign in a linear equation.
Matrix Operations
- Row Swap: Interchanging the positions of two rows in a matrix.
- Scalar Multiplication: Multiplying a row by a scalar value, resulting in a new row with each element multiplied by the scalar.
Leading Entries
- Row Echelon Form: Each leading entry is the first non-zero element in a row.
- Reduced Row Echelon Form: Each leading entry is 1, and all entries above the leading entry in the same column are zero.
