Equality of Matrices Use the given equality to find x, y and z
Matrix Multiplication(n by m) Matrix X (m by k) MatrixThe number of columns of the matrix on the left= number of rows of the matrix on the right The result is a (n by k) Matrix
Matrix ReductionDefinitions (1) 1. Zero Row:A row consisting entirely of zeros 2. Nonzero Row:A row having at least one nonzero entry 3. Leading Entry of a row:The first nonzero entry of a row.
Matrix ReductionDefinitions (2) Reduced Matrix: A matrix satisfying the following: 1. All zero rows, if any, are at the bottom of the matrix 2. The leading entry of a row is 1 3. All other entries in the column in which the leading entry is located are zeros. 4. A leading entry in a row is to the right of a leading entry in any row above it.
Elementary Row Operations 1. Interchanging two rows 2. Replacing a row by a nonzero multiple of itself 3. Replacing a row by the sum of that row and a nonzero multiple of another row.
