... by -1 /1 from row 3. When applied to both and c this yields, cNotice that now ( ) the entries are zero for , for both and ,so is set to 3: the secondpivot column is column 3, and is nonzero, ... triangularization step, row 2multiplied by 6 /3 is subtracted from row 3 for both and c to yield, c cThere is one zero row in the left-hand side, and the rank of and that of is , the number of nonzero ... the equality ofleft- and right-handside.When this process is finished, is in echelon form. In particular, if the matrix is square and if all columns have apivot, then is upper-triangular.“Stop”...
