The above equivalent matrix is the echelon form of A in which there are three non zero
rows if k=-6
i.e if k=-6 then ρ ( A) = 3

Augmented matrix: Let A. X = B be the system of equations then the augmented matrix
is denote as
@@SATYA@@
The linear system of equations A. X = B can be solved by using following methods
(1) Matrix inversion method
(2) Cramer’s rule or Method of determinants
(3) Gauss elimination method
(4) Rank method
(5) LU decomposition method
You have already studied first two methods in your intermediate syllabus now we have to
study rest of the methods in this unit
