Lineaire algebra 1
Chapter 1
Paragraph 1 System of lineair equations
Linear equations: x’s are in the same form
Linear system: a collection of one or more linear equations involving the same
variables.
Solution set: set of all possible solutions
Equivalent: when two linear systems have the same solution set.
A system of linear equations is:
Consistent: One solution
Infinitely many solution
Inconsistent: No solutions
Coefficient matrix: coefficients of each variables of a linear system aligned in
columns = augmented matrix
Size: tells how many rows and columns a matrix has: m x n matrix; m = rows /
n = columns
Row equivalent: when there is a sequence of elementary row operations that
transform one matrix into the other, if the augmented matrices are row
equivalent they have the same solution set.
Elementary row operations: Replacement / Interchange / Scaling
Row operations are invertible
Two fundamental questions:
1. Is the system consistent, that is, does at least one solution exist?
2. If a solution exists, is it the only solution; that is, is the solution unique?
Paragraph 2 Row reduction and echelon forms
Leading entry: leftmost nonzero entry of a row.
Echelon matrix: matrix which is in echelon form, “triangular” matrix
Matrix is in echelon form if it has the following properties:
1. All zero rows cover the lowest rows of the matrix.
2. Each leading entry is to the right of the leading entry of the
row above it.
3. All entries in a column below a leading entry are zero.
Matrix is in reduced echelon form when:
4. The leading entry in each nonzero row is 1.
5. Each leading 1 is the only nonzero entry in its column.
A pivot position is the position of the leading 1 in a reduced echelon form.
A pivot column is a column that contains a pivot position.
Basic variables: defined (columns with pivot position).
Free variables: undefined (no pivot position in column) any value for variable.
Paramedic descriptions: solution of a system with free variables.
Paragraph 3 Vector equations
(Column) vectors: ordered lists of numbers, matrix with only one column.
Rn: R stands fort he real numbers that appear as entries in a vector, n indicates
that each vector contains n entries.
Equal: two vectors in Rn are equal if only if their corresponding entries are equal.
Scalar: the number c in cu, vector cu is contained by multiplying each entry in u
by c.
Geometric description: geometric point (a, b) can be identified as vector [a b]
