A 47×matrix has 4 rows and 7 columns.(b) True. Reduced row-echelon form of a given matrix is unique while row-echelon form is not. (See also exercise 64of this section.)(c) True. See Theorem 1.1 on page 21.(d) False. Multiplying a row by anonzeroconstant is one of the elementary row operations. However, multiplying a rowof a matrix by a constant0c=isnotan elementary row operation.
