Intro to Mathematical Economics
An augmented matrix is a matrix that represents a system of linear equations, including the coefficients of the variables as well as the constants from the right-hand side of the equations. This form allows for the convenient application of matrix operations to solve systems of equations using methods such as Gaussian elimination or row reduction. By transforming the augmented matrix into reduced row echelon form, one can easily identify the solutions to the system, whether they are unique, infinite, or nonexistent.
