3. Example 4 Gauss-Jordan Elimination(1/4)
Solve by Gauss-Jordan Elimination
Solution:
The augmented matrix for the system is

4. Example 4 Gauss-Jordan Elimination(2/4)
Adding -2 times the 1st row to the 2nd and 4th rows gives
Multiplying the 2nd row by -1 and then adding -5 times the new 2nd row to the 3rd row and -4 times the new 2nd row to the 4th row gives

5. Example 4 Gauss-Jordan Elimination(3/4)
Interchanging the 3rd and 4th rows and then multiplying the 3rd row of the resulting matrix by 1/6 gives the row-echelon form.
Adding -3 times the 3rd row to the 2nd row and then adding 2 times the 2nd row of the resulting matrix to the 1st row yields the reduced row- echelon form.

8. Homogeneous Linear Systems(1/2)
A system of linear equations is said
to be homogeneous if the constant
terms are all zero; that is , the
system has the form :
Every homogeneous system of linear equation is consistent, since all such system have
as a solution. This solution is called the trivial solution; if there are another solutions, they are called nontrivial solutions.
There are only two possibilities for its solutions:
The system has only the trivial solution.
The system has infinitely many solutions in addition to the trivial solution.

13. Homogeneous Linear Systems
A system of linear equations is said to be homogeneous if the constant terms are all zero.
Every homogeneous sytem of linear equations is consistent, since all such systems have x1=0,x2=0,...,xn=0 as a solution [trivial solution]. Other solutions are called nontrivial solutions.
