Reduce the matrix [1−1−64−1−15−2212] to reduced row-echelon form
How is my answer incorrect?
I performed the row operations:
1) R2=4R1−R2
2) R3=2R1+R3
3) R2=R2/−3;
4) R3=R3/18
5) R2=R2+7R3
6) R1=R1+−6R3
7) R1=R1+R2
Which gives me the RREF of the matrix
[100010001]
So how in the world is my solution incorrect?
Answer
After Step 1:
[1−1−60−3−9−2212]
After Step 2:
[1−1−60−3−9000]
After Step 3:
[1−1−6013000]
All of the steps with R3 are unnecessary since R3 is all zeroes. Skip to Step 7:
[10−3013000]
