Practice Questions for Lecture # 4

Question # 1

Identify if the following matrices are in echelon form or reduced echelon form or not in both forms. Also
give the reason to justify your answer.

1 2 3 4 
a.
0 0 1 4 
 
0 0 0 0 
Echelon Form
6 2 1 4 

b. 0 0 0 0

 
0 0 4 0 

Neither Echelon nor Reduced echelon forms because row with all zero elements is not the last row. All
non-zero rows are above any rows of all zeros.

1 0 0 0 
c.
0 1 0 0 
 
0 0 1 0 

Reduced echelon form because:

The leading entry in each nonzero row is 1.

Each leading 1 is the only nonzero entry in its column

1 1 2 

d. 0 1 1

 
0 0 −2 

Echelon form:

Each leading entry of a row is in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above it.

All entries in a column below a leading entry are zero

Question # 2

2 3 5 7
 
For the given linear system 0 2 3 9 , find the solution when free variable z = 0 .
 
 0 0 0 0 

Solution:

Corresponding system of equation is

2 x + 3 y + 5z = 7 − − − 1
2 y + 3z = 9 −−−2
as given z =0
put this value of z in equation 2 we get
2y + 0 = 9
y = 4.5
put the value of y and z in equation 1
2 x + 3(4.5) + 0 =7
2 x + 13.5 = 7
2x = 7 − 13.5 = −6.5
x = 3.25
