range AND rank

description

  • rank:
    1. Reduce the matrix to row echelon form. This means that the matrix should be in a form where all the leading entries (the first non-zero entry in each row) are ones, and all the entries below each leading entry are zeros.
    2. Count the number of non-full-zero rows in the row echelon form. This is the rank of the matrix.
    • rank 1: 1 dimension = det()=0
  • range: .
  • dimension of R(A)= rank of A = # of linear indep cols (or rows)
