Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
When we join the columns of two or more matrices having the same number of rows it is known as augmented matrix.
Let A= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&6\\0&3\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
B= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
Then the augmented matrix is(A|B)
Note that a vertical line is used to separate te columns of A from the columns of B
(A|B) [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&6\\0&3\\\end{array}\right | \left\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\0&1\\\end{array}\right][/tex]
This is a simple example of augmented matrix....
Answer:
An augmented matrix refers to a matrix formed by appending the columns of two matrices.
The perfect example to show this is a linear systems of equations, because there we have a matrix formed by the coeffcients of the variables only, and we have a second matrix formed by the constant terms of the system.
If we have the system
[tex]2x+3y=5\\x-4y=9[/tex]
The two maxtrix involved here are
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3\\1&-4\end{array}\right] \\\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5\\9\end{array}\right][/tex]
However, to solve the system using matrices, we have to formed an augmented matrix
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}2&3&5\\1&-4&9\end{array}\right][/tex]
So, as we defined it at the beginning, an augmented matrix is the appending of colums from two matrices to form one.
