Question 1 • Precalculus
Valid row operations are swapping two rows, adding one row (or a multiple of it) to another row, and multiplying a row by a nonzero scalar. Thus, switching rows is valid, as is adding one row to another and multiplying a row by a scalar. Multiplying corresponding elements of two rows or raising row elements to a power is not a valid row operation.
