Opening the book…
- 11.2: Elementary Operations
- We have taken an in depth look at graphical representations of systems of equations, as well as how to find possible solutions graphically. Our attention now turns to working with systems algebraically.
- 11.3: Gaussian Elimination
- The work we did in the previous section will always find the solution to the system. In this section, we will explore a less cumbersome way to find the solutions. First, we will represent a linear system with an augmented matrix. A matrix is simply a rectangular array of numbers. The size or dimension of a matrix is defined as m×n where m is the number of rows and n is the number of columns.
