Full transcript
- 0:00welcome to a video that will show how to
- 0:02transform an augmented Matrix into
- 0:04reduced R Echelon form in order to solve
- 0:06a system of
- 0:08equations let's begin by reviewing reduc
- 0:11Ro Echelon form a matrix is in reduc Ro
- 0:14Echelon form if these four conditions
- 0:16have been met and here are several
- 0:18examples of matrices in reduced ralon
- 0:21form step one the first nonzero element
- 0:25in each row called the leading entry is
- 0:28one two each leading entry is in a
- 0:32column to the right of the leading entry
- 0:35in the previous
- 0:37Row three rows with all zero elements if
- 0:41any are below rows having nonzero
- 0:44elements and then Finly four in each
- 0:47column that contains a leading entry
- 0:50which again is a one all other elements
- 0:53of the column are
- 0:55zeros so all of these matrices satisfy
- 0:58these four conditions and are in reduce
- 1:01Ro Echelon form let's also review how we
- 1:05transform an augmented Matrix often
- 1:07referred to as gussian
- 1:09elimination number one any two rows can
- 1:12be
- 1:13interchanged number two the elements of
- 1:15any row can be multiplied by a nonzero
- 1:18real number and then number three any
- 1:20row can be changed by adding or
- 1:22subtracting the corresponding elements
- 1:24with another row so let's go ahead and
- 1:27give it a try on first a system of two
- 1:30equations with two unknowns we'll start
- 1:33by writing this as an augmented Matrix
- 1:35so the first row would be 2 1
- 1:391 the second row would be 3 -2
- 1:46-16 so I want to have a zero in this
- 1:48position and this position let's first
- 1:51try to get a zero here if this was a
- 1:54positive two we could add it to row two
- 1:57to obtain a zero so let's go ahead and
- 2:00replace Row one with 2 * Row
- 2:031 plus row two the second row stays the
- 2:08same so 2 * Row 1 plus row two 2 * 2 + 3
- 2:13that would be 7 2 * 1 + -2 there's the
- 2:18zero and 2 * 1 + -16 that's 2 + -16 that
- 2:25would be
- 2:27-14 now we want a zero in this position
- 2:30so since the corresponding element is a
- 2:32seven the LCM or at least common
- 2:35multiple of 3 and 7 would be 21 so if we
- 2:38make this a 21 and this a 21 we can then
- 2:41subtract these two rows so we'll replace
- 2:44row two with 7 * Row
- 2:482 minus 3 * Row 1 Row one stays the same
- 2:54so we'll have 7 * 3 - 3 * 7 that's 21 -
- 2:5821 or 0
- 3:01now we'll have 7 * -2 that's
- 3:04-14 - 3 * 0 that's
- 3:08-14 now this is a little more
- 3:10challenging here we have 7 *
- 3:13-16 that's
- 3:17-12 minus 3 * -14 so that'll
- 3:22become + 42 so we have
- 3:27-12 + 42
- 3:30which will give us a -70 and the last
- 3:33step is to have the main diagonal equal
- 3:34to ones so we'll multiply Row 1 by 17th
- 3:38or divide by
- 3:417 and multiply Row 2 by
- 3:44-114 or divide by -14 multiplying by
- 3:4817th we'd have 1 0 and then 17 * -14
- 3:54that's
- 3:55-2 this would be a
- 3:58014 * -14th is
- 4:011 and then -114 time
- 4:05-70 or just divide -70 by -14 would give
- 4:10us pos5 now we convert this back to
- 4:14equations we have 1X = -2 or x =
- 4:18-2 and we have 1 y = 5 or Y = 5 and this
- 4:23system has been solved using reduced row
- 4:26Echelon
- 4:28form let's take a look at a system of
- 4:30three equations in three variables we'll
- 4:33start with the augmented Matrix first
- 4:35row would be 4 -1 2 0 second row would
- 4:39be 2 1
- 4:43-11 the third row is 2 -2 1 3 let's see
- 4:48if we can get zeros here and here so if
- 4:51you take a look at Row one and row two
- 4:54if this was a -4 we could add it to row
- 4:56one to get zero so we'll replace row two
- 4:59with -2 * Row 2 + Row
- 5:031 and if we took Row three and
- 5:06subtracted row two this would be a zero
- 5:08so we'll replace Row three with Row
- 5:10three minus row two first row stays the
- 5:14same so multiply this by -2 and then add
- 5:18it to 4 so -2 * 2 that's -4 + 4 we have
- 5:230 -2 * 1 plus a - 1 that' be -3
- 5:30-2 * -1 that's 2 + 2 we have
- 5:344 -2 * -1 that's POS 22 + 0
- 5:4022 now for Row three now for Row three
- 5:44we'll have Row three - Row 2 so 2 - 2 is
- 5:470 -2 - 1 -3 1 - 1 then be 1 + 1 2 and
- 5:55then 3 -1 becomes 3 + 11 or 14
- 6:01now let see if we can get a zero here
- 6:03and a zero here if we take a look at the
- 6:06first two rows if this was a positive
- 6:08three we could add it to row two to get
- 6:11a zero so we'll multiply this by -3 and
- 6:14then add it to row two so replace Row
- 6:18one with -3 * Row 1 + row two and if you
- 6:23take a look at Row three and row two
- 6:25these two are the same so if we replace
- 6:27Row three with Row three minus row two
- 6:30that would give us a zero here so Row 3
- 6:34minus row two okay the second row stays
- 6:37the same so now we're going to multiply
- 6:40Row one by -3 and then add it to row two
- 6:43so -3 * 4 that's -12 +
- 6:480 -3 * -1 that's pos3 + -3 that's 0 -3 *
- 6:562 that's -6 + 4 it's
- 7:012 and then we have3 * 0 + 22 that's
- 7:0622 and now for Row three we'll replace
- 7:09it with Row three minus row two 0 - 0 is
- 7:130 -3 -3 becomes -3 + 3 which is
- 7:18zero here we have 2 - 4 that's
- 7:22-2 and then we have 14us 22 that's
- 7:278 let's go ahead and take this Matrix
- 7:30over to the next screen and
- 7:33continue now what we want to do is have
- 7:35a zero here and a zero here and then the
- 7:38only thing left will be to make the main
- 7:39diagonal equal to one now we do have to
- 7:41be a little bit careful here because we
- 7:43don't want to lose this zero here to get
- 7:45a zero in this position so we're going
- 7:47to have to work with Row one and Row
- 7:48three to make this equal to zero notice
- 7:51the corresponding elements are the same
- 7:53number so if we subtract them that would
- 7:55give us zero so we're going to replace
- 7:57Row one with Row one minus Row
- 8:013 and then looking at row two we want a
- 8:04zero here if this was a ne4 and we added
- 8:08it to this four we'd have a zero here so
- 8:09we're going to replace row two with row
- 8:11two plus 2 * Row 3 the third row stays
- 8:17the same so now we're going to subtract
- 8:20Row one and Row three -2 - 0 it's -12 0
- 8:24- 0 -2 - -2 becom -2 + 2 that's
- 8:30Z and then 22 -8 becomes 22 + 8 that's
- 8:3630 and then we're going to replace row
- 8:38two with row two + 2 * Row 3 so 0 + 2 *
- 8:430 it's 0 -3 + 2 * 0 that's -3 still and
- 8:50then 4 + 2 * -2 there's the zero we
- 8:54wanted and then
- 8:5622 + 2 * 8 that'll be 22 +
- 9:02-16 which is equal to 6 okay we're
- 9:05almost there now we just need to make
- 9:08the main diagonal consist of ones so
- 9:10we'll
- 9:11multiply Row one by -12th multiply Row
- 9:15Two by - 1/3 and multiply Row 3 by
- 9:22-2 remember multiplying by -12th is the
- 9:26same as dividing by -12 so in the first
- 9:28row would be 1 0 0 30 / -12 is equal to
- 9:37-2.5 multiplying by - 1/3 is the same as
- 9:40dividing by -3 so we'd have 0 1 0 -2 and
- 9:45then multiplying by - one2 is the same
- 9:48as dividing by -2 so we'd have 0 0 1 and
- 9:51then
- 9:54pos4 okay we should be done let's go
- 9:56ahead and translate this back to
- 9:57equations the first row would be X =
- 10:02-2.5 the second row would be y = -2 and
- 10:07the third row is z = pos4 and now we
- 10:11have obtained the solution using reduced
- 10:13row Echelon form the next video we'll
- 10:16show how you can use your graphing
- 10:17calculator to check your work thank you
