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.
