Reduced-Row Echelon Form
The set of equations
x – 2y + 3z = 14
2x + y – z = -3
4x – 2y + 2z = 14
can be written as the augmented matrix
Which can then be stored as a 3 x 4 real matrix in any matrix variable. M1 is used in this example.
You can then use the RREF function to change this to reduced-row echelon form, storing it in any matrix
variable. M2 is used in this example.
The reduced row echelon matrix gives the solution to the linear equation in the fourth column.
An advantage of using the RREF function is that it will also work with inconsistent matrices resulting from
systems of equations which have no solution or innite solutions.
