Linear Algebra: Row Reduction to RREF and Rank

Row reduce each matrix to reduced row echelon form (every pivot is 1 with zeros above and below it) and state the rank, the number of pivots. Matrices are written in row form, e.g. [1, 2; 3, 4].

  1. 1.
    Row reduce A = [1, 1, -1; 1, 2, -5; 0, 1, -4] to reduced row echelon form and state rank(A).
  2. 2.
    Row reduce A = [1, 0, -2, 7; 0, 1, -2, 8; 0, -2, 5, -20] to reduced row echelon form and state rank(A).
  3. 3.
    Row reduce A = [1, -1, 2, 2; 0, 1, 1, 2; -1, 2, -1, 0] to reduced row echelon form and state rank(A).
  4. 4.
    Row reduce A = [1, 2, 4; -1, -1, -3] to reduced row echelon form and state rank(A).
  5. 5.
    Row reduce A = [1, 0, -2; -2, 1, 3; 0, 1, 0] to reduced row echelon form and state rank(A).
  6. 6.
    Row reduce A = [1, 0, -2, -3; 0, 0, 1, 1; -2, 0, 5, 7] to reduced row echelon form and state rank(A).
