linear algebra - Reducing the Matrix to Reduced Row Echelon Form




Reduce the matrix [11641152212] to reduced row-echelon form




How is my answer incorrect?



I performed the row operations:




1) R2=4R1R2



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:



[1160392212]



After Step 2:



[116039000]



After Step 3:



[116013000]



All of the steps with R3 are unnecessary since R3 is all zeroes. Skip to Step 7:




[103013000]
