Row equivalent matrix means two matrices of the same size, in corresponding homogeneous systems have the same set of solutions, or equivalently the matrices have the same null space. From Q1a, The row equivalent matrices are: Matrix (A, D) and Matrix (B, E)

STPM13/14 Math T Coursework Sem 1 (2013), Q3

After completing Q1 and Q2, I found out that by using Elementary Row Operations to reduce matrices into simplest row echelon form or to an identity matrix if possible. The purpose of reduce it is to determine row equivalent matrices where the pair of matrices having the same null space which cant be reduce anymore. Besides, invertible and not invertible matrix can be identified by find out the determinant. If determinant equals to zero, it means this matrix has no inverse. After that, those functions which have inverse can be determined by multiplying inverse function equation is to adjoind of matrix . The

From Q1b, we knew that the invertible matrices are matrix A and D. This due to the determinant of the matrix is not equals to zero. Besides, by performing Elementary Row Operations. Invertible matrices can be reduced to identify matrix, because ( ) . This is

Conclusion, matrix that had inverse will have nonzero determinant, able to reduce to identity matrix and if it multiply with its inverse it will obtain identity matrix.
