•Echelon form
Any matrix is said to be in echelon form if it
satisfies following three properties…
1) All non-zero rows must be above the “zero” row
2) Each leading entry is in a column to the right of the
leading entry in the previous row.
3) The first non-zero element in each row, called the
leading entry, is 1
Reducing any matrix to echelon form by doing row
transformations, we achieve a staircase shape…

It should look like following for
1)Rectangular matrix
2)Square matrix
1 1 0 4 1 3 9 7
0 1 0 1 3 0 4 1
0 0 0 1 1 1 2 2
0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1

•Reduced row echelon form
A matrix is in reduced row echelon form when it
satisfies the following conditions.
1) The matrix satisfies conditions for a row echelon form.
2) The leading entry in each row is the only non-zero entry in its
column.(Means rest of the elements are “0”.)

•Rank of a matrix
The maximum number of linearly independent rows
in a matrix A is called the row rank of A
For any square matrix, the rank can be found very easily
1)Reduce the matrix into reduced row echelon form
2)Count the non-zero rows of matrix
That’s it, the number of non-zero rows in a reduced row echelon form
matrix is the Rank of that matrix.
E.g.
Here, number of nonzero row is 1. So the rank of a matrix is 1.

•Solution
Solution to any linear equation system is the
value of unknowns that satisfies all the equation,
graphically as shown in figure its an intersection of
two or more lines. Solution to a linear system can be
unique, infinite or an empty set(no solution).

•Consistent & Inconsistent system
A system of equations is said to be consistent if
that has at least one solution
otherwise (if it has no solution) the system is said to
be inconsistent.

•Common terms and their meaning
•Cramer’s rule for solving linear equations
Note: Please use mouse clicks to navigate through slides.

•If the system has nonzero coefficient determinate D = det (A), then
the system has unique solution and this solution is of the form
X1= X2= ,…,Xn=
Cramer’s rule can be used only when the Matrix is a Square Matrix,
suppose there are n equations in the number of variables
X1,X2,X3,…,Xn then the solution of the system has the following cases
Where Di is the determinant obtained from D by replacing in D
the ith column by the column with the entries b1,b2,…,bn
e.g.

Now, If the system has zero coefficient determinant D = det(A), then we
have two possibilities as discussed below:
1. If at least one of Di is nonzero then the system has no
solution.
2. If all Di’s are zero, then the system has infinite number of
solutions.
If the system is homogeneous, then we have the following two
possibilities of its solution.
1. If D ≠ 0, then the system has only trivial solution.
X1=0 ,X2=0,…, Xn=0
2. If D = 0,then the system has also non trivial solutions.

•Use Cramer’s rule to solve:
Here, A= ,X= ,b=
Here, matrix A is a square matrix of order 3,so
Cramer’s rule can be applied
Now,
D=det(A)=|A|=
=1(-4-1)-2(12-1)+1(3+1)
=1(-5)-2(11)+1(4)
=-23
Therefore, the given system has unique solution.
For finding unique solution, let us first find D1,D2
and D3.It can be easily verified that

D1= =5(-4-1)-2(24-7)+1(6+7)
=5(-5)-2(17)+1(13)
=-46
D2= =1(24-7) - 5(12-1) + 1(21-6)
=1(17) -5 (11) + 15
=-23
D3= =1(-7-6)-2(21-6)+5(3+1)
=-13-2(15)+5(4)
=-23
Therefore the unique solution of the given
system is
X= = =2 , y= = =1

Outline :
Square matrix
Non-homogeneous matrix
det (A) ≠ 0
None of Di = 0
 Unique solution
D3= =1(-7-6)-2(21-6)+5(3+1)
=-13-2(15)+5(4)
=-23
Therefore the unique solution of the given
system is
X= = =2 , y= = =1 , z= = = 1

•Use Cramer’s rule to find the solution of the system
In matrix form, the given matrix can be written as Ax=b,
Where,
A= , X= , b=
Here, matrix A is a square matrix of order 3, so Cramer’s rule can be applied.
Now,
D=|A|= =1(2-12) – 2(4-6) +1(8 - 2)
=1(-10) – 2(-2) + (6)
=0
Therefore, either system has no solution or infinite number of
solutions. Let us check for it.

D1= = 3(2 - 12) – 2(10 - 21) + 1(20 - 7)
=3(-10) –2(-11) + 1(13)
=5
0
Therefore, the system has no solution as at least one Di , i=1, 2,3
(Here D1) is nonzero.
Out line:
Square matrix , Non-homogeneous matrix,
det (A) = 0, At least one of Di = 0  No solution

•Use Cramer's rule to solve:
Here, matrix A is a square matrix of order 3, so Cramer’s rule can be applied
Now,
D=|A|= =1(45 - 48) -2 (36 - 42) + 3(32 - 35)
=-3 -2(-6) +3(-3)
=-3+12-9
=0
Also, D1=
=6(45 - 48) – 2(135 - 144) + 3(120 - 120)
=-18 + 18
=0

Therefore, the system has infinite number of solutions.
Now,
=5-8=3
Therefore,
Omitting m-r=3-2=1 equation (here, we have omitted third equation but it is not
necessary), we get system as
Considering n-r =3-2=1 variable as arbitrary (here, we considered x as
arbitrary but it is not necessary), the remaining system becomes

Therefore,
Let x=k, where k is arbitrary, then the infinite number of solutions of the
given system is
Where k is an arbitrary constant.

•Solve: -2X1+ X2 - X3=0 X1+ 2X2+ 3X3=0 3X1 +X3 =0
In matrix form, the given system of equations can be written as
Where,
,
Here, matrix A is a square matrix of order 3, so Cramer’s rule can be
applied.
Now,
Therefore, the given system has only trivial solution that is,

•Use Cramer’s rule to solve
Solution: In matrix form, the given system of equations can be written as
Where,
Here, matrix A is of order 3, so Cramer’s rule can be applied.
Now,

Therefore, the system has nontrivial solution in addition to trivial solution.
Now,
Therefore,
Omitting equation, are get
Considering variable arbitrary, the remaining system becomes
Where z is arbitrary,
Now,

Therefore,
Let z=k, where k is arbitrary, then the nontrivial solution (in addition to
trivial solution x=0, y=0, z=0) of the system becomes,
Where k is an arbitrary constant.

System of Equations
Linear System Non-Linear System

For a system involving two variables (x and y), each linear equation
determines a line on the XY-plane. Because a solution to a linear
system must satisfy all of the equations, the solution set is the
intersection of these lines, and is hence either a line, a single point,
or the empty set. And thus they can be classified differently.

•Non Linear System
• Non linear system is the one that contains ,
maximum power in its equations more than 1.

the various procedures for (i)

•Doing operation R31(1) on (i)
•Doing operation R21(3) on (i)
•Interchanging two rows
Here, we have adopted (4)
Again, operating R12(2), R13(-3), we get

Operating R2 (1/5), we get
Operating R23(6), we get
Operating R3 (-1/2), we get
Which is the row echelon form of the augmented matrix.
For Gaussian Elimination method we will stop here and go back to equations.
