QuestionPerform the elementary row operation on the given matrix.
Resulting matrix:
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
1. We are given a matrix and need to perform a specific elementary row operation.
2. The operation means to multiply every element in the second row by .
3. The matrix is a matrix, with the second row being .
STEP 2
1. Identify the elements in the second row.
2. Apply the row operation to each element in the second row.
3. Write the resulting matrix after the operation.
STEP 3
Identify the elements in the second row of the matrix:
The second row is .
STEP 4
Apply the row operation to each element in the second row:
- Multiply by :
$ -6 \times \frac{1}{3} = -2
\]
- Multiply by :
$ 9 \times \frac{1}{3} = 3
\]
- Multiply by :
$ 3 \times \frac{1}{3} = 1
\]
STEP 5
Write the resulting matrix after performing the operation:
The first row remains unchanged: .
The new second row is: .
Thus, the resulting matrix is:
The resulting matrix is:
