Understanding Elementary Row Operations in Matrix Analysis
Introduction
This lecture introduces the concept of elementary row operations in matrix analysis, explaining their significance in solving linear systems. It covers binary operations, groups, fields, and provides examples of how to apply these operations to transform matrices into identity matrices.
Key Concepts
-
Binary Operations: A binary operation on a set G is a function that combines two elements from G to produce another element in G. Examples include addition and multiplication for natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers, and complex numbers. For a deeper understanding of the foundational elements of mathematics, you may want to check out Understanding the Real Number System: Key Concepts and Definitions.
-
Groups: A set G with a binary operation is a group if it satisfies closure, associativity, identity, and inverse properties. An Abelian group also satisfies commutativity.
-
Fields: A field is a set equipped with two binary operations (addition and multiplication) that satisfy specific axioms, including commutativity, associativity, identity, inverses, and distributive properties.
Elementary Row Operations
Elementary row operations are crucial for manipulating matrices. There are three types:
- Multiplication: Multiply any row by a non-zero scalar.
- Replacement: Replace a row by adding a multiple of another row.
- Interchange: Swap two rows.
Example of Transforming a Matrix to Identity
To convert a matrix into an identity matrix, a series of elementary row operations can be applied. For instance, starting with a given matrix, one can perform operations to achieve the identity matrix step by step. This process is similar to the techniques discussed in Mastering Order of Operations: Simplifying Complex Expressions.
Conclusion
Understanding elementary row operations is essential for solving linear systems and performing matrix analysis. This lecture lays the groundwork for further exploration of matrix properties and applications, which can be further enhanced by learning about Understanding Linear Programming Problems Using Graphical Method and Excel Solver.
Hello friends. Welcome to lecture series on
Matrix Analysis with Applications. So, this is the first lecture and this lecture deals
with Elementary Row Operations. So, what elementary row operations are and how it is applicable
to solve linear system equations, we will
see in first few lectures. So, before stating what elementary row operations
are first we define binary operations. So, let G be a set a binary operation on G
is a function that assigns each ordered pair
of elements of G an element of G. So, what
does it mean? It means if G is a set you take any two arbitrary element in that set apply
the operation given to you and the resulting element if it is also belongs to a same set
then we say that the operation is a binary
operation. Like you take the set of natural
numbers ok, and you apply usual addition. So, we know that we if we take any two arbitrary
natural numbers and we apply usual addition operation usual addition on the natural numbers
then the resultant is also a natural number.
That means the usual addition for the set
of natural numbers is a binary operation. Similarly, if you take it set of integers
here ok. And, you apply usual addition, you take any two integers add them the resultant
is also a integer; that means, the usual addition
over the set of integers is a binary operation.
Similarly, you take the set of rational numbers or the real numbers or complex numbers under
usual addition they are usual addition is the binary operation.
Now, similarly if you take the set of natural
numbers and you take binary operation as usual
multiplication ok. If, you take any two natural numbers you multiply them the resultant is
also a natural number; that means, the usual multiplication over the set of natural numbers
is a binary operation ok. Now, similarly set
of integer’s rational numbers, real numbers
and complex numbers, the usual multiplication is the binary operation. Now, if you take
a set of natural numbers, subtraction and divisions are not are not binary operations.
Suppose you take two natural number say 1
and 2, 1 minus 2 is equal to minus 1, which
is not an integer. That means, subtraction over set of natural numbers is not a binary
operation. Similarly, if you take division you say you take two natural numbers say 2
and 3 you divide them 2 upon 3. So, 2 upon
3 is not a natural number so; that means division
is not a binary operation. So; that means, binary operation is the operation,
which when applying any two elements of a set G the resultant element must be in the
same set. Then, that operation is called binary
operation.
Now, come to group when we say that a set is the group under some binary operation.
So, let G be a set together with a binary operation that assigns to each ordered pair
a comma b of the elements of G an element
in G, denoted by a into b or ab. We, say G
is the group under this operation if the following three properties are satisfied ok. First of
all the operation, which we are defining on the set G is the binary operation.
Binary operation means is satisfy closure
property; that means, you take any two arbitrary
element on the set G the resultant element is also in G ok. And what are the other three
properties which are set G should satisfy to form a group number 1: associativity. Associativity
means you take any 3 arbitrary element abc
in G. If, you take brackets in the first two
elements or you take the bracket in the last two elements, the values are same that is
associativity ok. Then the identity; identity means if there
existed element e which is also called the
identity in G such that a e equal to ea equal
to a for every a in G. Then the third properties inverse means for each a in G, there is an
element b in G called the inverse of a such that a b equal to ba equal to e, ok.
So, if d three property hold on a binary operation
applied on G, then we say that the G under
that binary operation is the group. So, what are the four properties which we have discussed?
Number one the operation must be an a binary operation, number 2 associativity number 3
identity; identity means you take any arbitrary
element a in G there exist e such that a e
equals to ea equals to a for every a in G. Inverse means for any a in G there exists
a element b in G such that this result hold. Moreover this group will be called an Abelian
group, if it satisfies commutative property
also. That, means, ab equals to b a b equal
to b a for all ab in G ok. So, let us discuss this by an example.
Suppose you take a set of real numbers set of real numbers ok.
Let us denoted by capital R ok. And under
which binary operation it must be mentioned. So, binary operation which we are defining
here is suppose usual addition. So, we know that usual addition on the set of real numbers
on the set of real numbers is a binary operation,
because if you take any two elements a comma
b belongs to R, then a plus b if this is usual addition we are denoting by plus then a plus
b is also in R for all a b in R. So; that means, this plus which is applying
on the two elements a b in R is the binary
operation ok. Now, if we have to see that
are whether this set of real numbers under this binary operation forms a group or not.
So, it so, this is the binary operation now we have to see the other three properties
are satisfying or not number one property
is associate associativity a associative property.
So, associative property is obviously satisfied because addition always satisfied associativity,
you take you for a for all abc in R in R a plus b plus c is equals to a plus b plus c.
You take bracket in the first two elements
or you take bracket in the last two elements
resultant is same. Now, next is to see whether identity at exist
or not you take any element a in R ok. Now a plus e is equal to e plus a must be a for
any a in R and this implies e equal to 0 and
0 is in R. So, this belongs to R; that means,
for any a in R identity element is 0, which exist and is the and belongs to the set of
natural real numbers. The third property is inverse you take any a in R then a plus b
plus is equal to b plus a should be equal
to e e is 0.
So, this implies b is equal to minus a, which also belongs to R, suppose you want to find
out the inverse of 2 2 is the real number. So, inverse of 2 is minus 2 which is also
in R. So, we have shown that all the properties
are satisfied; that means this set R over
the binary operation usual addition forms a group. Now, if we see the same set of real
numbers same set of real numbers over multiplication if you say same set of real numbers, over
usual multiplication usual multiplication.
So, we have to exclude 0 because inverse of
0 is not defined here. So, we are here to exclude 0 ok.
Now, if we are taking this set the set of real number excluding 0 under unusual multiplication
it forms a group. Usual multiplication is
a binary operation because if you take any
two arbitrary element from the set from this set say G and multiply them then the resultant
is also a real number. So, it is a binary operation. Now, the first property assosiativity
holds because a into b into c is equal to
a into b into c for all a b in a or a b c
in G the second property is identity. You take any element in G say a belongs to G,
then a into e should be equals to e into a should be equals to a for all a and G and
this implies e equal to 1 which is in G. So,
there this means there exist an identity element
in G. And third is inverse if you take if you take
any a in G. So, it is a into b should be equals to b into a should be equals to e which is
1. So, this implies b is equals to 1 by a
which also belongs to G. Suppose you want
to find out multiplicative inverse of 2. So, it is 1 by 2, which is in set of real numbers
are excluding 0 so; that means, this set G under binary operation usual multiplication
constitute a group.
So, here are some examples you see the set
of integers Z, the set of rational number is Q the set of real numbers R are all groups
under ordinary addition a usual addition. In each case the identity element is 0 and
the inverse of an element a is minus a. In
fact, all these are Abelian groups, because
they satisfy commutative property also. If, you take the set of integers you take a into
b or b into a resultant is same, the values are same; that means, the set of integers.
In fact, forms an Abelian group similarly
set of rational numbers set of real numbers
also forms an Abelian groups. Now you take this set 1 minus 1 iota minus iota you take
this set. Now, set is 1 minus 1 iota minus iota, we
know that iota square is minus 1. And, what
is the binary operation under which binary
operation we are seeing that it will it will forms a group or not under usual multiplication.
We know that the usual multiplication is a binary operation for this G have why it is
binary operation this you can easily see you
take 1 minus 1 iota minus iota ok.
You take 1 minus 1 iota minus iota. Now, you multiply 1 with 1 is 1 1 with minus 1 is minus
1 1 with iota is iota this is minus iota minus 1 with 1 is minus iota, then plus 1 minus
iota iota square is minus 1 it is plus iota
ok. Iota with 1 is iota it is minus iota iota
square is minus 1 minus iota square is 1 it is minus iota it is plus iota it is minus
iota square is 1 and it is minus 1. Now, you have you we have seen all the possible multiplication
of the elements of G with itself and we have
seen that all the elements in this set are
in G itself. That means, this usual multiplication on this that G is in binary operation that
is clear, because if you multiply any element of G with itself all the elements all the
elements are in G itself.
That means user multiplication on this G is
binary operation. So, first property is hold now we see we have to see the associative
property. So, associativity is always hold in multiplication in usual multiplication
is always satisfied, then we have to see identity
element has the since of identity element.
If you take any a any a in G any a in G then a a into e should be equals to e into a should
be e for all a in G this implies e is equals to 1, which is in G you have see you see here
this is 1 which is in G so; that means, identity
element also exist which is in G. Now, the
existence of inverse, if you see the existence of inverse so, you take any a in G the for
inverse a b should be equals to ba should be equals to e which is 1.
Then this implies b is equals to 1 by a if
you take the inverse of 1 inverse of 1 is
1 by 1 which is 1, which is in G, if you take inverse of minus 1 minus 1 inverse is 1 upon
minus 1 which is minus 1 is also in G. Inverse of iota which is 1 upon iota which is minus
iota it is also in G and inverse of minus
iota is 1 upon minus iota which is iota it
is also in G. So, inverse of all the elements exist a identity element exist a sensitivity
property holds. So, we say that this set G under this binary operation I mean by usual
multiplication constitute a group.
Now, you said this you take this set the set
as which is set of all 2 cross 2 matrices, which whose determinant are not equal to 0;
that means, invertible matrices of order 2 cross 2. Now, now if you take so, so here
binary operation which we are choosing is
the usual multiplication it forms a non Abelian
group. Now let us see how. So, we are taking all those 2 cross 2 matrices,
whose determinant are not equal to 0. And, what is the operation we are applying operation
is usual multiplication.
Now, you take any A comma B belongs to S,
this means determinant of A is not equal to 0 and determinant of B is not equal to 0.
If, you take the multiplication of these 2 matrices A into B and take the determinant
the determinant of A B is equals to determinant
of A into determinant of B, which is also
not equal to 0 this implies A B belongs to S; that means, this usual multiplication forms
a binary operation. On this set S ok. Now, we have to see associativity
the matrix is satisfy associative property
we already know that A B into C is same as
A B C for all A B C in S, this is this is always satisfied in case of matrices. Now,
existence of identity element you take you take any A in S A into some E should be equals
to E into A should be A. So, this implies
e is equals to I and determinant of I is since
is not equal to 0. So, this implies I also belongs to S. So, this guarantees the existence
of identity elementiness. Now, we have to see now we have to see existence of inverse
element, you take any A in S then A B should
be equals to B A should be equals to I and
this implies B is equals to A inverse. Now, inverse exists because determinant is
not equal to 0 and this and since determinant is not equal to 0, then determinant of A inverse
is also not equal to 0 determinant of B will
be what? Determinant of A inverse and which
is equals to 1 upon determinant of A which is also not equal to 0 because determinant
because from here determinant of a is not equal to 0 and this implies B belongs to S.
So, we have shown the existence of inverse
element also in S. So, hence we can say that
this as constitute a group under usual multiplication. Now, it is an it is a non Abelian group, why
non Abelian because if you multiply A into B or you multiply B into A, they need not
be equal A into A B, it need not be equal
to B into A for all A B in S ok.
So, it is the group, but it is not an Abelian group. Now, the set of integers Z excluding
0 under ordinary multiplication is not a group, because if you can clearly see, if you identity
element is there identity element under multiplication
is 1, but if you take element say 2, it is
inverse is 1 by 2, which is not a which is not in which is not in this set of integers
excluding 0. Hence it will not constitute a group. So, this is all about group. Now,
we come to field and then we go to matrices
ok. Now what is the field let us see let us
quickly see a non-empty set F equipped with two binary operations, addition and multiplication
is said to be a field if it satisfies the following axioms for all a b c in F.
Now, here in fields instead of one binary
operation we are having two binary operations. The first binary operation we are denoting
by addition, it may be any operation, but we are denoting it by addition and the second
binary operation we are denoting by multiplication.
Now, the first property is commutativity holds
of for addition and multiplication; that means, a plus b should be equals to b plus a for
all a b in F and a into b should be equals to b in b into a.
In case in case of both the binary operations
number 1 number 2 a associativity of addition
and multiplication must hold. Existence of identity existence of additive and multiplicative
identities should exist that is 0. We are denoting 0 as the additive identity and 1
as the multiplicative identity. So, 0 plus
a should be a and 1 dot a should be a for
all a in F. Then, existence of additive and multiplicative
inverses so, here minus a is simply additive inverse of a and 1 by b is simply multiplicative
inverse of b where b is a non-zero element
in F ok. And the distribution of multiplication
over addition, from right also and form left also from left and from right this must hold.
So, what I want to say basically that in that in case of field we are having two binary
operations, one we are calling as addition,
other we are calling as multiplication. So,
F respect to addition must be an Abelian group and all non-zero elements in F, over multiplication
must constitute and Abelian group and that and the next property is distribution of multiplication
over addition ok.
So, if these three property hold; that means,
with respect to addition f must be an Abelian group, with respect to multiplication the
set excluding 0 in F must be an Abelian group and distribution of multiplication over addition
this property must hold. So, if these broadly
if these three property holds, then we say
that F is the field. Let us see few examples based on this now
you see the set of real numbers. Now, if you see set of real numbers and which
the binary operation. The first binary operation
is usual addition and the next binary operation
usual multiplication. Now, usual addition forms an Abelian group for this set of real
numbers, we have already seen ok. And, if you exclude 0 from the set of real numbers
it will also forms an Abelian group respect
to multiplication and dot and multiplication
distribute over addition also from left and from right also.
So, we say that the set of real numbers with the usual addition a multiplication forms
of field is a field. Now, you see the set
of complex numbers usual addition and usual
multiplication again the two binary operations are usual addition usual multiplication. Now,
you see the set of complex number set of complex numbers and the usual addition constitute
a Abelian group this we can easily see.
All the 4 properties I mean it is a binary
operation additions the binary operation number 1, associativity identity is 0, and the inverse
is inverse is minus a of any a and c. So, and also a into b is equals to b into a for
all elements a b and c. So, it constitute
a Abelian group over usual multiplication.
And, you if you exclude 0 from this C then this will also constitute Abelian group over
usual multiplication ok. And, multiplication satisfy distributive over
addition also so, it will constitute a field.
Similarly, the third example set of rational
numbers with the usual addition usual multiplication is also a field. Now, see some examples, which
are not which are not fields suppose we are considering set of integers. Now, set of integers
under usual addition set of integers under
usual addition constitute Abelian group it
is true, but under usual multiplication it does not form a group even because if you
take a element say 2 in Z. So, it is inverse is multiplicative inverse is 1 by 2 which
is not in Z. So, this set of integers does
not constitute group under multiplication.
So, it will not constitute a field. Similarly, if you there Euclidean is space say R 2 R
2 is all x y such that x y are in R. Now, under usual addition it again constitute a
group I mean Abelian group. In fact, because
associative property hold identity is 0 comma
0 and inverse of any a comma b in R 2 is minus a minus b, which is also in R 2, but if you
take the if you see respect to multiplication excluding 00.
There are other element say 1 comma 0, which
is which are in R 2, but it is inverse does
not exist. Hence, this R 2 under usual multiplication does not constitute a group. So, it is not
a field, now a come to matrices. So, we defined group and field because we want to define
matrices over a field k matrices are always
defined over a field ok. So, that is that
is why we first clear out that what do you mean by a field? Ok.
Now, we define matrices, what do you mean by matrices?
So, A matrix A over a field K, K may be any
field is a rectangular array of a scalars usually rep presented in the following form.
So, any matrix A can be represented as a rectangular form a 1 1 a 1 2 a 1 3 up to a 1 n and similarly
if m n a m 1 m 2 and a m n. So, if you take
any a I j aij means i j-th entry of this matrix
a i j-th entry means the element in the i-th row and in the G th column.
Suppose, we are talking about a 2 2 a 2 2 is the element in the second row and in the
second column. If, you are talking about a
2 n a 2 n means element in the second row
and n th column ok. So, we denote a matrix by simply writing a equals to a i j and this
denote the order of the matrix the order of the matrix is m into n, because number of
rows here are m and number of column here
are n. So, the order of the matrix is m cross
n rows into columns. So, there are general representation of a matrix A, which is a i
j means any element i j-th i is varying from 1 2 m and j is varying from 1 to n.
These are some simple properties of a matrices
we already know these things that a plus 0 equals to 0 matrix ok, because 0 plus A equal
to A A minus A equal to 0 A plus B associativity property hold. Respect to addition multiplication
then it distribute dot distribute over addition,
because it satisfy this property A plus B
equals to B plus A these three are the very basic properties this is already holds in
matrices. Now, properties of transpose what do you mean
by transpose? Transpose means you change interchange
rows and columns. Suppose A is any matrix, which is suppose
1 2 3 4 5 6. It is it is having 3 rows and 2 columns and you want to find out a transpose.
So, a transpose means you simply write you
simply convert rows into columns that is 1
2 3 4 5 6. So, this is the way this is the way of writing a transpose means you interchange
rows by columns. The first row in first column, second row in second column, third row in
third column, ok. So, these property hold
for transpose also A plus minus B whole transpose
is A transpose plus minus B transpose, k into a whole transpose is k times A transpose where
k is any scalar, transpose of transpose is itself. And if A into B is defined then A
into B whole transpose is equal to B transpose
into A transpose. Now, adjoint of a matrix: let A b a n cross
n matrix or square matrix of order n cross n. Then, how to find adjoint first you first
find cofactor of a element a ij, which is
given by a minus 1 raised to power minus minus
1 raised to power i plus j M ij where M ij is the minor of a ij.
This we already know adjoint of a is simply you make the matrix of cofactors and then
take the transpose, that will be the adjoint
of A matrix A. And, we also denoted by this
expression adjoint of A, then the third properties A into adjoint of A is equal to adjoint of
A into A is equal to determinant of A times identity matrix of the same order of course,
n cross n. Then determinant of adjoint of
a is determinant of a raised to power n minus
1, this is very easy to prove you can simply see here. As you have seen that A into adjoint of A
is equals to adjoint of A into A equal to
determinant of A times identity. So, you take
this is this is A into adjoint of A is equal to determinant of a times identity. Now, you
take determinant both the sides. Now, this is A into B the determinant of A into B is
equal to determinant of A into determinant
of B.
And, also determinant of k into A where k is any scalar and A is A matrix of order n
cross n is simply equal to k raised to power n determinant of A. If A is A matrix of order
n cross n ok. Because, this k is multiplied
with all the elements of A and when you take
the determinant, you can take the you can take the common from each row first row second
row up to n th row. So, k raised to power n will be common and then it will be determinant
of A.
So, here determinant of a works as k, because
it is a scalar, scalar quantity and I is the matrix of order n cross n. So, it is determinant
of a raised to power n and determinant of I. Determinant of I is 1 so, it a determinant
of I. So, this implies determinant of adjoint
of A is simply determinant of a raised to
power n minus 1. Also we know this thing that if matrix is
invertible then inverse exist and inverse is given by adjoint of a upon determinant
of A.
Now this is the very simply problem let us
see, just to illustrate few properties of matrices. Now, here determinant of A is 3 and A is a
matrix of 2 cross 2 order.
If, you want to find out determinant of 2
A so, it will be simply because we know that determinant of k into A is equal to k raised
to power n times determinant of A. If A is a matrix of order n cross n, here matrix of
order 2 cross 2 and k is 2. So, it is 2 raised
to power 2 determinant of A, which is 4 into
3 which is 12. If, we want to find out at determinant of adjoint of A it is simply determinant
of a raised to power n minus 1 here n is 2 and determinant of A is 3.
So, 3 raised to power 1 which is 3 if you
want to find out determinant of adjoint of
2 A transpose. So, it is simply determinant of 2 A transpose whole raised to power 2 minus
1, which is determinant of 2 A transpose, which is equals to 2 raised to power n 2 raised
to power n, which is 2 into determinant of
A transpose, determinant of A transpose and
A are same. So, it is determinant of A which is equals to 4 into 3 which is 12 ok. So,
in this way we can simply solve this problem. So these are some special type of matrices,
row matrix is a matrix is said to be a row
matrix if it consists only 1 row, column matrix
A matrix said to be a column matrix if it consist of only 1 column.
Diagonal matrix are a square matrix is said to be diagonal if it is non diagonal entries
are all 0, that a diagonal matrix. A scalar
matrix a diagonal matrix said to be scalar
if it is all diagonal elements are same say k. Symmetric matrix means a matrix a is said
to be symmetric if a transpose a equal to a that is a i j equals to aji for all i j.
We will discuss more about symmetric and askew
symmetric matrix in detail later on. Askew
symmetric matrix A matrix A said to be skew symmetric if a transpose is equal to minus
A, that is aij equal to minus a ji for all i and j and also all diagonal entries in skew
symmetric matrix are 0 now what are elementary
row operations.
So, first we are talking about matrices over the field F or over the field k. So, these
scalars whatever we are talking about comes on the field, if the field a set of real numbers
then the scalars will be a set I mean real.
And, if we are talking about the set of complex
number the scalars come from the set of complex numbers. Now, what are elementary row operations
let us see there are 3 elementary row operations on an m cross n matrix a over the field F.
What are they number one? Multiplication of
any row of A by a non-zero scalar c, you see if you take any row R j of a matrix A. And
you multiply that row by a non zero scalar c then this is the first elementary row operation
which we can apply on a matrix a the second
elementary row operation is replacement of
the R th row of a by row plus c times S row. Where c is any scalar and R is not equal to
s; that means, you take any R th row and you replace this R th row by the R th row plus
c time some other s th row. Then this is the
second elementary row operation on any matrix
A and you can always interchange any 2 rows you can interchange i-th row of a j-th or
j-th with by i-th i is not equal to j. So, these are the 3 basic elementary row operations
number 1 1 is you can multiply and row by
any non-zero scalar c, then you can always
for any row you can always take row plus c time some other row rs and you can always
interchange any 2 rows of a. So, these are the 3 elementary row operations
now let us discuss this is by an example now
first thing is let us let us this also first
definition. If, A and B are m cross n matrices over the
field F, we say that B is row equivalent to A, if B can be obtained from A by the finite
sequence of elementary row operations. You
see you have a matrix a and you apply a some
elementary row operations on that matrix and you get a new matrix B, then we say that the
matrix B is row equivalent to A. Now, you you take now you we discuss this
example. You take a let us suppose you take
A equal to 1 2 3 minus 1 0 2 2 4 4. Now using
elementary row operations transform a into identity matrix. Suppose we have to apply
elementary row operation on this matrix A and we have to convert this matrix into an
identity matrix.
So, how can we convert this? So, let us see
area of solution let us discuss solution first. So, this is matrix A this is the matrix A.
So, in the identity we have to take this element as 1 the first element as 1 and in that column
all that all the elements must be 0.
Similarly, similarly for the second element
and for the third element I mean in diagonal. Now to make 0 here which element a row operation
we will apply to make 0 here we will take this row R 2 and we add with R 1 because minus
1 plus 1 will become 0 here.
So, we make first elementary row operation
in R 2 row and we replace R 2 by R 2 plus R 1 ok. Now, this minus 1 plus 1 is 0 0 plus
2 is 2 2 plus 3 is 5. So, this is the first elementary row operation
which we have applied in this matrix. Now,
the next is we are to make 0 here because
we want to make identity here. Now to make 0 here we have to take the third row and we
have to subtract 2 times the first row, I mean we have to replace the third row by R
3 minus 2 times R 1, then it will become 0
2 minus 2 times 1 become 0. So, this minus
2 time this 0, this minus 2 minus this become 0, this minus 2 time this become minus 2.
Now, now we have to make 1 here to make identity so, replace this row by 1 by 2 this row I
mean replace R 2 by 1 by 2 R 2, because you
want to make 1 here ok. So, you replace R
2 by 1 by 2 R 2 we get another matrix which is this 1 2 3 0 1 5 by 2, because we divided
by 2 here and 0 0 minus 2, now we want to make 1 here.
So, you divide this by minus 2, if you divide
this by minus 2 or replace this row by minus
1 by 2 times R 3, then it is 0 it is 1 2 3 0 1 5 by 2 0 0 1. Now, you have to make 0
here 0 here and 0 here to complete the identity matrix. To make 0 here with the help of this
row you simply take this row row 1 and you
subtract it with twice of row 2; that means,
in the row 1 you apply the elementary row operation R 1 minus 2 times R 2. So, this
is minus 2 times this is one, this minus 2, times this is 0, this minus 2 time, this is
minus 2 and all the all other elements remain
the same.
Now, you are to make 0 here. So, to make 0 here we take the help of this 1. So, this
plus 2 times this I mean R 1 you replace R 1 by R 1 plus 2 times R 3. So, this plus 2
time this is 1 this plus 2 time this is 0
this plus 2 time this is 0. And other elements
remain the same now you want to make 0 here to complete identity matrix. So, this minus
5 by 2 times this row I mean R 2 you replace R 2 by R 2 minus 5 by 2 times R 3. So, this
will be the identity matrix.
So, we have applied series of series of elementary
row operations to get to convert matrix A into an identity matrix ok. Now, if you talk
about this matrix say this matrix. So, this matrix is obtained from the matrix A by two
elementary row operations. So, we can say
that this matrix is a row equivalent matrix
to A or in fact, we can say any matrix any matrix up to here are the row equivalent forms
of the matrix A, because they are they are obtained by applying some elementary row operation
on the matrix.
Now, let us discuss this example suppose discuss
first example suppose we discuss to convert this into an identity matrix by applying elementary
row operation. So, what is the matrix you see matrix is 2
minus 1 0 it is 1 minus 1 2 it is minus 1
0 1 it is a matrix. Now, by applying elementary
row operation you want to transform this matrix into an identity matrix. So, how you will
proceed? In the first column you see if there is any
one, I mean any element any element 1 then
you interchange those rows first ok. So, first
what you do you take you replace R 1 and R 2 you interchange R 1 and R 2. So, this is
1 minus 1 2 it is 2 minus 1 0 it is minus 1 0 1 2 make our calculation easy. The other
way out is you divide it by a 2 and then apply
the elementary row operations now here now
you want to make 0 here with the help of this. So, to make 0 here with the help of this you
replace R 2 by R 2 minus 2 times R 1 then only it will become 0. So, it is 1 minus 1
2 it is 0 this minus 2 time this is 1 this
minus 2 time this is minus 4 it is minus 1
0 1. Now you want to make 0 here with the help of this. So, replace R 3 by R 3 plus
R 1. So, this will be 1 minus 1 2 it will be 0 1 minus 4 it will be 0 minus 1 3.
Now, this is already 1 you want to make 0
here because you want to complete identity
matrix. So, again you have apply elementary row operation you replace R 3 by R 3 plus
R 2. So, this will be 1 minus 1 2 it will be 0 1 minus 4 it will be 0 minus 1 now it
is minus 1 you have to make 1 here.
So, you multiply this by minus 1 you replace
R 3 by minus of R 3. So, this is 1 minus 1 2 0 1 minus 4 0 0 1. Now, you want to make
0 here with the help of this. So, you replace R 2 R 1 by you replace R 1 by R 1 plus R 2.
So, it is 1 0 minus 2 it is 0 1 minus 4 it
is 0 zero 1 ok. Now, you want to make 0 here
with the help of this. So, this plus 2 times this. So, in R 1 you take R 1 plus 2 times
R 3. So, it is 1 0 minus 2 0 1 minus 4 0 it is 00. So, this is this will be simply 0 and
it is 0 1.
Now, you want to make 0 here with the help
of this or this plus 4 time this will give you the identity matrix; that means, you replace
R 2 by R 2 plus 4 times R 3. So, it will be an identity matrix now. So, these are the
elementary row operations which we apply to
convert this matrix A into an identity matrix,
similarly we can push it for the second problem. Thank you very much.
Elementary row operations are techniques used to manipulate matrices, which are essential for solving linear systems. There are three main types: multiplication (scaling a row by a non-zero scalar), replacement (adding a multiple of one row to another), and interchange (swapping two rows). These operations help transform matrices into simpler forms, such as the identity matrix.
Binary operations are fundamental in mathematics as they combine two elements from a set to produce another element within the same set. In matrix analysis, understanding binary operations like addition and multiplication is crucial for grasping how matrices interact and how they can be manipulated through elementary row operations.
Groups and fields provide the foundational structure for understanding mathematical operations. A group consists of a set with a binary operation that satisfies certain properties, while a field includes two binary operations (addition and multiplication) that adhere to specific axioms. These concepts are essential for understanding the properties of matrices and the operations performed on them.
To transform a matrix into an identity matrix, you apply a series of elementary row operations systematically. This involves using multiplication, replacement, and interchange operations to manipulate the rows of the matrix until it matches the identity matrix, which has 1s on the diagonal and 0s elsewhere.
Understanding elementary row operations is crucial for solving linear systems, which have applications in various fields such as engineering, computer science, economics, and statistics. Mastering these operations also lays the groundwork for more advanced topics in matrix analysis and linear programming.
