linear algebra - Elementary Row Matrices



Let A =




[4310]




Find 2×2 elementary matrices E1,E2,E3 such that A = E1E2E3



I figured out the operations which need to be performed which are;



E1 = R2R1



E2 = R2 = R2 + 4R1



E3 = R2 * 13




My question is how would I go about writing the elementary matrices? The solution says that they are;



E1 =
[1401]
E2 =
[3001]

E3 =
[0110]


Answer




Hint: what do elementary matrices correspond to? Can you some how form a correspondence between the row operations you used to reduce the matrix and elementary matrices? In other words, the elementary matrices are related to how R1 and R2 are manipulated in each row reduction step.
