The rank of the matrix[111111111] is, 1.

See the step by step solution

Step by Step Solution

Step 1: Find row reduce echelon form 

The number of leading 1’s in rref(A) represents the rank of a matrix A denoted byrank(A) .

The given matrix is, [111111111] .

The reduced row echelon form of the given matrix is:

rref[111111111]=[111000000]

Step 2: Determine the rank of a matrix. 

The number of leading 1’s in the matrix [111000000] are 1.

Hence, the rank of the given matrix is 1.
