Matrix Row Reduction

If an elementary row operation is applied to a matrix that is in row echelon form, the resulting matrix will still be in row echelon form.

Johnny was using Gaussian Elimination to simplify the matrix. What did he do wrong in this step?

• To get a zero for a number you should multiply the same row by its' reciprocal

• If you multiply a number to a row you have to change that row too

• He added the numbers incorrectly

• Nothing. This step was correct.

Jessica is simplifying the matrix using Gaussian Elimination. Did she complete the step correctly?

• No, she should have changed the 2 to a zero and multiplied -2 by R2 and added R1

• No, she wanted to change the 3 to a zero so she should have multiplied R2 and added it to R3

• Yes. When you need a zero you multiply by the number's reciprocal.

• No. Just punch in the calculator. Who cares about Carl Gauss

Jeffrey wrote a matrix to represent his system of equations. What was his mistake

• The z's are not aligned correctly

• There should be a one in the top row for zero

• There should be a zero in the second column of the third representing the y

• Nothing. This is correct.
