Question
Determine whether the statement below is true or false. Justify the answer
Elementary row operations on an augmented matrix never change the solution set of the associated linear system.
Choose the correct answer below.
• A. The statement is true. Each elementary row operation replaces a system with an equivalent system.
• B. The statement is false. Interchanging two rows never changes the solution set of the associated linear system. However, scaling a row by a nonzero constant can change the solution set of that system.
• C. The statement is false. Interchanging two rows never changes the solution set of the associated linear system. However, replacing one row by the sum of itself and a multiple of another row can change the solution set of that system.
D. The statement is true. Elementary row operations are always applied to an augmented matrix after the solution has been found.
