The discussion focuses on calculating the normalized form of a given matrix: 1-1020, 2-1011, and 4 0101. The user proposes a normalized form represented as 100nn, 010nn, and 001nn, where 'n' denotes the normalized values. A participant confirms that this representation is correct, assuming the goal is to achieve reduced row-echelon form. The discussion also raises a question regarding the presence of negative signs in the first two rows of the matrix.

Assuming that you want to get to reduced row-echelon form, yes, the above is correct.Jimmy84 said:Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
Im wondering if the normalized form of this matrix is
100nn
010nn
001nn
where n are the numbers resulting from the normalization of the matrix.
Is this correct?
Thanks a lot in advance.
