Gaussian elimination is a method for solving systems of linear equations, involving the use of augmented and coefficient matrices. The document outlines the operations that can be performed on these systems to produce equivalent forms and describes the properties of a matrix in row-echelon form. Key properties include the arrangement of zero rows, the presence of leading 1s, and their positioning in relation to each other.

GAUSSIAN

ELIMINATION
Gaussian elimination was
introduced as a procedure for
solving a system of
linear equations.
In this section you will study this
procedure more thoroughly,
beginning with some definitions.
The first is the definition of a
The matrix derived from the coefficients and constant terms
of a system of linear equations is called the augmented
matrix of the system. The matrix containing only the
coefficients of the system is called the coefficient matrix of
the system. Here is an example.
In the previous section you studied
three operations that can be used on a
system of linear
equations to produce equivalent
systems.
1. Interchange two equations.
2. Multiply an equation by a nonzero
constant.
3. Add a multiple of an equation to
A matrix in row-echelon form has the following
properties.
1. All rows consisting entirely of zeros occur at the
bottom of the matrix.
2. For each row that does not consist entirely of zeros,
the first nonzero entry is 1 (called a leading 1).
3. For two successive (nonzero) rows, the leading 1 in
the higher row is farther to the left than the leading 1
in the lower row.
