5.1 Elementary row Transformations
  • The following three types of operations on the rows of a given matrix are known as elementary row transformations:
  • Interchanging any two rows of the given matrix.This transformation is indicated by ${R_{ij}}$,if the ${i^{th}}$ row and ${j^{th}}$ row are interchanged.
    It is denoted by ${R_i} \leftrightarrow {R_j}$
  • Multiplying every element of any row of the given matrix by a non zero number.This transformation is indicated by ${R_i}(k)$,if the multiplicaton of the ith row by a constant $k$
    It is denoted by ${R_i} \to k.{R_i}$
  • Addition of a constant multiple of the elements of any row to the corresponding elements of any other row.This transformation is indicated by ${R_ij}(k)$,if the addition of the ${i^{th}}$ row to the elements of the ${j^{th}}$ row multiplied by constant $k$.
    It is denoted by ${R_i} \to {R_i} + k.{R_j}$
