Hi, Can anyone help me to inverse the below matrix by row reduction method. I know determinant method but I don't know row reduction method please help me. 4 5 -2 6 thanks.

I have a data file, let's say test.dat which is contain [1 2 3 4 5 6 7...3000]. the question is how can I re-arrange this data from a row into a column so that I will have a set of data like this 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 . . . 3000 in fortran90 or MATLAB also will be okay. thank you

I still want to be a physicist. I want to go back to school next fall, but haven't really made plans yet. I went to university for one year after high school, failed one semester and withdrew the next before being kicked out of the dorms for smoking pot. The next 3 years I attended a local...

I'm working with this excercise: make a program that gives the number of consecutive letters of a word and the most repeated letter in a row -example: if i enter aaafdseergftth and i press return the program should return a = 3, e=2, t=2 and a=3-. I've come up with a couple of "solutions"...

Hi, My textbooks say that when a solution, x, is found to Ax=b it has a particular solution, x_0, such that A*x_0=b which is then combined with other solutions from the null space, n_i, such that A*n_i=0. However, when playing about with this I seem to have come across a problem. for...

Let's prove the uniqueness of row echelon form (Suppose we already knew existence) First, for any m*n matrix A, think about homogeneous equation AX=0. Obviously, AX=0 has a solution X=0, so its solution set is not empty. And A's row echelon form has same solution set. So if there are more...

Is the following statement correct? To find the rank of a matrix, reduce the matrix using elementary row operations to row-echelon form. Count the number of not-all-zero rows and not-all-zero columns. The rank is smaller of those 2 numbers.

Suppose you weren't allowed to switch rows, would it then always be possible to turn a regular matrix into the unit matrix or would the operation be needed in some cases?
