Linear Algebra and Matrix Theory



Given the matrix A listed below as a matrix over field z{0,1,2,3,4}, find the row reduced echelon form B of A. List the elementary matrices used to reduce A to B.
A=(120324112401)




I am able to get the Matrix into the reduced row echelon form, the problem is that when I am getting my elementary matrices the way I reduce Matrix A always makes it so my elementary matrices are not in the field. Please help me.



One way I tried was R2R2R3

and R32R1R3
that gets the matrix into reduced row echelon from but puts the elementary matrices outside of the field.


Answer



(120324112401)R2+3R1R3+3R1(120300100000)



and we're done working over F5:=Z/5Z . Can you now list the elementary matrices used, even if the first, and only, used operation is subdivided in two?
