Definitions
Matrix:
a rectangular array of numbers. Each number is
called an entry
Order of a matrix:
Tells you how many rows and columns the
matrix has. If a matrix has m rows and n
columns then it is an m x n matrix.
Square matrix
Matrix which has the same number of rows and
columns

Row Operations
There are 3 Elementary Row Operations:
1. Interchange two rows
2. Multiply a row by a non zero constant
3. Add a multiple of a row to another row

Row Operations
To Determine what row operations occurred:
• Identify which row changed
– If 2 changed, they were probably interchanged
• Determine if each number is the result of
multiplying each number by a constant
– Determine the constant
• Determine how much was added to each entry
to get the row.
– Determine which row must have been multiplied to
get these numbers, and by how much.

(Examples of Row-Echelon operation notation…
…may be necessary for more than one operation)

or
2*R1 + R2
5*R1 + R3

Row-Echelon Form
A matrix is in row echelon form if:
1. Any rows consisting of entirely zeros occur
at the bottom of the matrix
2. For each row that does not consist entirely
of zeros, the first nonzero entry is a 1
3. As you work down the matrix the “leading 1”
moves to the right.
Still Makes the “Staircase”
