Question: Determine whether the statements that follow are true or false, and justify your answer.

14: rank .|111123136|=3

Answer:

True, rank of the given matrix is 3 because after finding the row echelon form there are three non-zero rows.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Rank of a matrix

For finding the rank of the matrix first of all we will change the given matrix in the echelon form.

We have given the matrix.

111123136

Step 2: Justification of answer

Now, find the reduced row echelon form of the given system.

111123136R2R2-R1R3R3-R1~111012025R3R3-2R2~111012001

Now, the given matrix is in echelon form. Thus, the number of non-zero rows is equal to the rank of a matrix.

Thus, the rank of a matrix is 3.
