|
- Not all systems of linear equations will be in echelon form and easily solvable
|
|
- There are three **elementary operations** that can be used to create a new system that is equivalent to the old one
|
|
- Interchange the position of two equations
|
|
- Multiply an equation by a nonzero constant
|
|
- Add a multiple of one equation to another
|
|
- $\sim$ is used to indicate the transformation between equivalent linear systems
|
|
- matrices can be used to simplify when working with systems of linear equations
|
|
- matrices with all constant terms of a linear system of equations are called a **augmented matrix**
|
|
- $$\begin{gathered} \text{Linear System} \\ a_{11}x_{1} + a_{12}x_{2} + a_{13}x_{3} = b_{1} \\ a_{21}x_{1} + a_{22}x_{2} + a_{23}x_{3} = b_{2} \\ a_{31}x_{1} + a_{32}x_{2} + a_{33}x_{3} = b_{3} \end{gathered} \quad \sim \quad \begin{gathered} \text{Augmented Matrix} \\ \begin{bmatrix}
|
|
a_{11} & a_{12} & a_{13} & b_{1} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} & a_{23} & b_{2} \\ a_{31} & a_{32} & a_{33} & b_{3}
|
|
\end{bmatrix} \end{gathered}$$
|
|
- Same elementary operations can be used with augmented matrices, now it is with rows instead of equations.
|
|
- gaussian elimination
|
|
- this is converting a matrix to **echelon form** (or row echelon form)
|
|
- this is when every leading term is a column to the left of the one below it and any zero rows are at the bottom
|
|
- once the augmented matrix is in echelon form it can be converted back into a linear system of equations (that is not in echelon form) and solved
|
|
- the pivot is the coefficient of the leading terms (or the fr)
|
|
- Gauss-Jordan elimination
|
|
- this can make it easier to find the general solution of the system
|
|
- 1. multiply each nonzero row by the inverse of the pivot so every pivot is 1
|
|
- 2. manipulate so every pivot only has zeros above it
|
|
- This means that leading variables are only in the equations that they lead
|
|
- This puts the matrix in **reduced echelon form**
|
|
- Homogeneous linear system
|
|
- when the $b_{n}$ term of each equation is zero
|
|
- There is a "trivial solution" where each variable equals zero
|
|
- There can also be nowingspann-trivial solutions
