Solution sets
-
Unique solution
- For every x is one solution, and for every solution is one x
-
Infinite solutions
- xn=a, where xn=0 and a=0
- x1+x2=a where x1, x2 and a are an element of R
-
No solution
- xn=a, where xn=0 and a is not 0
-
Description of R^n
- n, is the number of rows
- Always with 1 column
-
Forms
-
Echelon form
- All nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros
- Each leading entry of a row is in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above
- All entries in a column below a leading entry are zeros
-
Reduced echelon form
- All nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros
- Each leading entry of a row is in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above
- All entries in a column below a leading entry are zeros
- The leading entry in each non zero row is 1
- Each leading 1 is the only non zero entry in its column
