Question

Perform the following matrix row operation and write the new one.

Answer 1

Given: A matrix

`\begin{bmatrix}{1} & {-3} & {2} \\ {3} & {9} & {5} \\ {} & & {}\end{bmatrix}`

Required: To perform the following matrix row operation

`-3R_1+R_2`

Explanation: The operation is to be applied on the first row of the given matrix. Hence the second row will be same as that of the initial matrix.

The elements of the first row are first multiplied by 3 and then added with second row to give the required matrix.

Hence,

`\begin{bmatrix}{-3+3} & {9+9} & {-6+5} \\ {3} & {9} & {5} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}`

which gives

`\begin{bmatrix}{0} & {18} & {-1} \\ {3} & {9} & {5} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}`

Final Answer: The required matrix is

`\begin{bmatrix}{0} & {18} & {-1} \\ {3} & {9} & {5} \\ {} & {} & {}\end{bmatrix}`
