  1. 1.2 Matrices Vectors and Gauss – Jordan elimination(This is such an interesting topic that it was made into a movie)

  2. Matrix Notations A website that has programs that will do most operations in this course (an online calculator for matrices) http://www.math.odu.edu/~bogacki/cgi-bin/lat.cgi

  3. Write the system as a matrixWrite the following matrix in reduced row echelon form(example taken from p. 12 of text) 2x + 8y + 4z = 2 2x + 5y + z = 5 4x + 10y – z = 1

  4. Solution

  5. Solution slide 2

  6. What are legal steps for reducing a matrix? You are allowed to interchange rows. You are allowed to multiply a row by a constant. You are allowed to add two rows together. (This implies that you can multiply a row by a constant then add it to another row.)

  7. What is the order that a matrix should be simplified? Step 1: Get a 1 in the upper left hand corner. Step 2: Obtain 0’s for the rest of the first column Step 3: Get a 1 on the main diagonal in the next column. Step 4: Get zeros below the one obtained in step 3 Step 5: return to step 3 and repeat steps 3 and 4 until there are 1s on the main diagonal and zeros below it. Step 6: start on the right most column and get zeros above the main diagonal. Repeat this for all diagonals from right to left.

  8. Reduced Row-Echelon (rref) Form A matrix is in reduced-row echelon form if it satisfies all of the following conditions: • If a row has nonzero entries, then the first nonzero entry is 1 called the leading 1 in this row. • If a column contains a leading 1, then all other entries in that column are zero • If a row contains a leading 1, then each row above contains a leading 1 further to the left

  9. Which matrices are in Reduced Row Echelon form?If a matrix is not in rref then what changes would be needed to change it to that form?

  10. Write the given matrix in reduced row echelon form using a TI-89 Calculator 2nd 5 (math) 4 (matrix) 4(rref) - rref stands for reduced row echelon form rref([1,3;2,5])
