Hey! :o

We have the matrices \begin{equation*}a=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix}, \ \ E_{1,3}=\begin{pmatrix}0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}, \ \ u_n=\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 &0 & 1\end{pmatrix}\end{equation*}

I have calculated:
\begin{align*}\left (u_n+2E_{1,3}\right )a&=\left (\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 &0 & 1\end{pmatrix}+2\begin{pmatrix}0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}\right )\begin{pmatrix}1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix} \\ &=\left (\begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 &0 & 1\end{pmatrix}+\begin{pmatrix}0 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\end{pmatrix}\right )\begin{pmatrix}1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix} \\ &= \begin{pmatrix}1 & 0 & 2 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 &0 & 1\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix} \\ &= \begin{pmatrix}15 & 18 & 21 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 \\ 7 & 8 & 9\end{pmatrix}\end{align*}

Let $a \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times m}$. Determine a matrix $b \in \mathbb{R}^{n\times n}$, such that the product $ba$ is a row operation of type 1.

The row operatioon of type 1 is that we multiply one row by a scalar and add it to another row. For that do we define $b$ to be as above, i.e. in the form $\left (u_n+sE_{i,j}\right )$ ? (Wondering)

Hey mathmari!

Yep.
In the example we saw that we added 2 times row 3 to the first row.
So now we generalize to s times row j that we add to row i. (Thinking)

Ok! Thank you! (Sun)
 
Thread 'Determine whether ##125## is a unit in ##\mathbb{Z_471}##'
This is the question, I understand the concept, in ##\mathbb{Z_n}## an element is a is a unit if and only if gcd( a,n) =1. My understanding of backwards substitution, ... i have using Euclidean algorithm, ##471 = 3⋅121 + 108## ##121 = 1⋅108 + 13## ##108 =8⋅13+4## ##13=3⋅4+1## ##4=4⋅1+0## using back-substitution, ##1=13-3⋅4## ##=(121-1⋅108)-3(108-8⋅13)## ... ##= 121-(471-3⋅121)-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24(471-3⋅121## ##=121-471+3⋅121-3⋅471+9⋅121+24⋅121-24⋅471+72⋅121##...
