CHAPTER 5
[4 rrow EF] Used to calculate the reduced row-echelon form of the matrix.
<Example>
To calculate the reduced row-echelon form of mat A: :
Entry: rrowEF mat A
Answer:
The use of rrow EF makes it possible to solve simulta-
neous equations.
To solve the following simultaneous equations, follow these steps.
x + 2y – z = 3
2x – 3y + z = 0
3x – y – z = -2
• First, determine the coefficients of the matrix and make matrix B containing 3 rows
by 4 columns.
• Next, calculate the matrix B using rrow EF as shown below.
• As a result, the following solutions are obtained.
1 × x + 0 × y + 0 × z = 2 x = 2
0 × x + 1 × y + 0 × z = 3 y = 3
0 × x + 0 × y + 1 × z = 5 z = 5
• To solve simultaneous equations using rrow EF, a matrix containing the numbers of
variables and equations is required.
(3) Calculation using [ ]
• Next, the calculation using [ ] is explained.
