The pivot of a row in a matrix is…….
The left-most non zero entry in that row
6
New cards
A matrix in row echelon form if…..
"1) all rows of zeros [if there are any] are at the bottom
7
New cards
2) the pivot in every non-zero row is in a column to the right of the pivot in the row above it"
8
New cards
An example of a matrix in row echelon form….
“Staircase pattern”
9
New cards
A matrix is in reduced row echelon form if….
"1) in row echelon form
10
New cards
2) all of the pivots are equal to 1
11
New cards
3) each pivot is the only non-zero entry in its column"
12
New cards
An example of a matrix in reduced row echelon form….
13
New cards
xi is a pivot variable for the system if….
"Letting C be a coefficient matrix,
14
New cards
15
New cards
rref(C) has a pivot in the ith column"
16
New cards
xi is a non-pivot variable of the system if…
"Letting C be a coefficient matrix,
17
New cards
18
New cards
rref(C) doesn’t have a pivot in the ith column"
19

Example of a pivot variable and non pivot variable:
"System:
20
New cards
x + 2y = 2
21
New cards
z = 3
22
New cards
23
New cards
pivot variable:
24
New cards
x, z
25
New cards
26
New cards
non- pivot variable:
27
New cards
y"

Lemma: Pivot Parameterization
"If a system of linear equations has at least 1 solution then the pivot can be parameterized in terms of non-pivot variables.
29
New cards
30
New cards
That is, if xk1, . . . , xkr are the nonpivot variables of the
31
New cards
system, then for any pivot variable xi, we can find constants aij ∈ R such that
32
New cards
xpi = ai0 + ai1xk1 + · · · + airxkr"

Theorem 1: Row Equivalence
If 2 matrixes are row equivalent, then the system of linear equations they represent(as augmented matrices) have the solution sets
34
New cards
Theorem 2: Gauss-Jordan
"Every matrix A is row equivalent to a matrix B in row echelon form. Furthermore, if B is in RREF then B is unique
35
New cards
36
New cards
37
New cards
* we call B the reduced row echelon form of A i.e B = rref(A)"
38
New cards
Theorem 3: Rouché-Capelli
"Supposing a system has augmented matrix A and co-efficient matrix C
39
New cards
40
New cards
1) The last column of rref(A) has pivot if and only if the system has no solutions
41
New cards
2) The last column of rref(A) doesn’t have a pivot and every column of rref(C) has a pivot if and only if the system has exactly 1 solution
42
New cards
3) The last column of rref(A) doesn’t have a pivot and there is a column of rref(C) without a solution if and only if the sytem has infinitely many solutions"
