Question

Is there an efficient way of turning a matrix into a echelon form matrix? Somehow my book can turn an ordinary matrix into echelon form in 5 steps (from matrix a to matrix f), but the majority of my matrices are from matrix a to matrix p or sometimes r. Is there a faster way of doing this?

Answer 2

Unfortunately, I'm not someone you should ask when it comes to matrices. Matrices aren't taught in our school. We use other methods that counteract matrices, so we don't need to learn it. Maybe ask someone else that's maybe excelled at matrices. Sorry about that.

Answer 3

You should try looking for a video on youtube to show you how to do that

Answer 4

yes it can be

Answer 5

how?

Answer 6

whatever I"m doing is fine, but it takes forever. from matrix a to matrix r. that's a long way to go. Yet, the book does it in five steps from matrix a to matrix f. WHATTTTTTTTTTTTTTT

Answer 8

by row elementary operation

Answer 9

how big are your matrices?

Answer 10

a standard 3 x 3.
I had a 3 x 5 on one problem

Answer 11

I got it down to that format, but the process took too long
