3. Row OperationsNotation:

new row after row operations are applied

original row

Multiply row i by a constant k

Interchange row 1 and row 2

Perform each operation (using the “previous” matrix for each)

1. (Interchange row 1 and row 2)

2. (Add row 3 to row 2)

3. (Add 3 times row 1 to row 3)

3 b) Row-Echelon FormAugmented matrix reduced to a form with 1’s on diagonal

and 0’s beneath diagonal is called row-echelon form

A 2x2 system would have the form:

A 3x3 system would have the form:

The method for solving a system using row-echelon form is also known as Gaussian Elimination.
