Solution Steps
To solve the system of linear equations represented by the given matrix in reduced row-echelon form, we need to interpret the matrix as a system of equations. The matrix [10−2001] corresponds to the equations x−2y=0 and 0=1. The second equation 0=1 is a contradiction, indicating that the system has no solution.
Step 1: Interpret the Matrix as a System of Equations
The given matrix [10−2001] represents a system of linear equations. The first row corresponds to the equation x−2y=0. The second row corresponds to the equation 0=1.
Step 2: Analyze the System of Equations
The equation 0=1 is a contradiction because it is not possible for zero to equal one. This indicates that the system of equations is inconsistent and has no solution.
