The rank of the matrix \( \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 0 & -5 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & 1 \\ -5 & 0 & 5 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \) is:
The rank of the matrix \( \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 0 & -5 & 0 \\ 0 & 2 & 0 & 1 \\ -5 & 0 & 5 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \) is:
Show Hint
- 1
- 2
- 3
- 4
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
To determine the rank of the matrix, we can perform Gaussian elimination (row reduction) to bring the matrix to row echelon form. After applying row operations, we find that the matrix has 3 non-zero rows, so the rank of the matrix is 3.
Final Answer: \[ \boxed{3}. \]
