Multiplication of a row of [A 1 Y] by a nonzero constant corresponds to multiplication of an equation in the system AX = Y by the same constant, This does not change the solutions of the system. Similar argument applies to the other elementary operations. 5 T-2. A row in the augmented matrix of a system in n unknowns, with zeros in the first n columns and a 1 in the (n + 1) -st corresponds to the equation 0·χ + + 0·χ = 1, n which has no solution. For the converse, let [A|Y] be row equivalent to [B|Z], which is in row echelon form. Since B has no row with a "leading" 1 in the (n + l)-st column, it follows (with the notation of Def. 2.3) that j- < j < · ·· < j,· Hence, for i = 1, 2,...,k, ? the i-th equation of BX = Z can be solved for x. in terms of the remaining n - k unknowns, which can be specified arbitrarily. T-3. By definition of the elementary row operations, the system BX = 0 is obtained by performing on AX = 0 operations which do not change the solutions of the latter. T-4. Suppose ad - be ^ 0, b^O, d^O. Then the following matrices are row equivalent : a b a d bd ad-bc 0 9 c d be bd be bd -J *— •1 1 1 0 1 0 J be I 0 bd 0 1 Suppose ad - be ^ 0 and b = 0. Then d φ 0 and a φ 0. The following matrices are row equivalent: 6 a 0 1 0 1 0 > c d 0 d 0 1 A similar argument disposes of the case where d = 0. For the converse, suppose ad - be = 0, but b and d are nonzero. Then the following matrices are row equivalent. a b ad bd ad-bc 0 0 0 > 9 c d be bd_ - bc bd J>c bd which is not row equivalent to I . If ad - bc = 0 and b = 0, then a = 0 or d = 0. Then 0 0 a b J c d c d neither of which is row equivalent to I r similar argument disposes of the case where d = 0. a b T-5. If ad - bc φ 0, then A is row equivalent c d to I (Ex. T-4); hence Thm. 2.2 implies that AX = 0 and IX = 0 have the same solutions. Since the ? latter has only the trivial solution, so does the former. If ad - bc = 0, then A is row equivalent to 1 0 0 0 B or C = , since these are the 0 0 0 0 7 only 2 x2 matrices, other than I«, in reduced row echelon form. Since BX = 0 and CX = 0 have nontrivial solutions, so does AX = 0, again by Thm. 2.2. T-6. Let A be an m x n matrix and define 0 E2 = • En = 0 1 ^- .J If a., φ 0 for some i and 1, then E. is not a iJ J solution of AX = 0; since 0·Ε. = 0, A and 0 are not J row equivalent, by Thm. 2.2.
