Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Using the 3x3 matrix [[2, 3, 4], [1, 2, 1], [5, 6, 7]], perform a series of row operations to bring this matrix to REF and determine its rank.

💡 Hint: Work systematically to isolate leading ones.

Challenge 2 Hard

Prove that using an elementary row operation will not change the rank of the matrix [[1, 0, 2], [2, 4, 6], [0, 0, 0]] by demonstrating a specific operation.

💡 Hint: Examine how the relationships between rows stay intact.
