This is a pivot column. The pivot position is at the top. - STEP 2: Select a nonzero entry in the pivot column as a pivot. If necessary, interchange rows to move this entry into the pivot position. - STEP 3: Use row replacement operations to create zeros in all positions below the pivot. - STEP 4: Cover the row containing the pivot position, and cover all rows, if any, above it. Apply steps 1–3 to the submatrix that remains. Repeat the process until there are no more nonzero rows to modify. - STEP 5: Beginning with the rightmost pivot and working upward and to the left, create zeros above each pivot. If a pivot is not 1, make it 1 by a scaling operation. SECTION 1.3 VECTOR EQUATIONS - Two vectors are equal if and only if their corresponding entries are equal. - Given two vectors u and v, their sum is the vector obtained by adding corresponding entries of u and v. - Given a vector u and a real number c, the scalar multiple of u by c is the vector cu obtained by multiplying each entry in u by c.
