Question
Can you devise a nonzero matrix whose row echelon form is the same as the row echelon form of its transpose?
Step 1
The row echelon form of a matrix is obtained by performing elementary row operations, and it has the property that all nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros, and the leading coefficient (the first nonzero number from the left, also called the pivot) of a Show more…
