I think matrix B has a little problem. The second row 3rd column is a *2* which should be reduced to “ones”... @mhchen what do you think? :)

darkknight:

What math is this?

mhchen:

C also has a problem

chipmunk:

Just A

darkknight:

What math is this ?

Ballery1:

So apparently the answer is *NO, since in the second column, the leading 1 is not the only none-zero entry*.

Linear algebra

darkknight:

when do you take this?

Ballery1:

Can you please Dm me all your inquiry questions?

darkknight:

nvr mind. I am only a freshman (high-school) in pre-calc

darkknight:

ok

chipmunk:

Rref is unique and calculators online (and in your ti84) exist just so you know

Ballery1:

A also has a problem. The second column can be free but the leading entry in the fourth column shouldn’t be 1. There should be a triangle of zeros above and below the staircase in order that matrix A to be in RREF

O
