Gauss-Jordan Elimination Calculator

Introducing the Gauss-Jordan Elimination Calculator—an adept and precise solution for rapidly solving systems of linear equations and converting them into their simplified Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF). By implementing the renowned Gauss-Jordan elimination technique, a cornerstone of linear algebra, our calculator simplifies the process. It turns your system of equations into an augmented matrix and then applies a systematic series of row operations to get you the solution you need.

How to Use the Gauss-Jordan Elimination Calculator?

• Input

  On the calculator interface, you'll find several fields corresponding to the coefficients of your linear equations. Enter the numerical values of the coefficients in these fields to form your augmented matrix. Make sure you align your coefficients properly with the corresponding variables across the equations.

• Calculation

  Click the "Calculate" button. The calculator will use the Gauss-Jordan method to change the matrix.

• Result

  The results will be displayed automatically. The calculator will provide the resulting matrix.

What Is Gauss-Jordan Elimination?

Gauss-Jordan elimination is an extended variant of the Gaussian elimination process. Whereas the Gaussian elimination aims to simplify a system of linear equations into a triangular matrix form to facilitate problem-solving, the Gauss-Jordan method takes it a notch higher by refining the system into a diagonal matrix, with each row standing for a unique variable. The crux of Gauss-Jordan elimination is the conversion of the matrix into what's known as its reduced row echelon form.

Gauss-Jordan Elimination Method Explained

Let's take a quick look at the Gauss-Jordan elimination method that our calculator implements:

• Transform the system of linear equations into an augmented matrix format.
• Carry out fundamental row operations to turn the matrix into its Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF)
• Extract the solutions straight from the resulting matrix.

For example, consider the following system of linear equations:

$$\begin{cases}2x+3y-z=9\\-x+2y+3z=8\\3x-y+2z=3\end{cases}$$

Our Gauss Jordan elimination method calculator will transform this system into an augmented matrix:

$$\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}2&3&-1&9\\-1&2&3&8\\3&-1&2&3\end{array}\right]$$

By applying the Gauss-Jordan elimination algorithm, the calculator will convert this augmented matrix into its RREF, from which the solution can be read directly.
