Matrices 7.1 Gaussian Elimination
Gaussian Elimination
1. Write down the augmented matrix of the system of linear equations.
2. Find an echelon form of the augmented matrix using elementary row operations. This is down by
creating leading 1’s, then zeros below each 1, column by column starting with the first column.
3. Write down the system of equations corresponding to the echelon form.
4. Use back substitution to arrive at the solution.
Echelon Form
1. Determine whether or not each of the following matrices is in echelon form.
