To determine which matrix is the reduced row-echelon form (RREF) of the given matrix, we need to perform row reduction on the given matrix and compare it with the options provided.The given matrix is:
Let's perform row reduction on this matrix:1. The first row already has a leading 1 in the first column, so we don't need to do anything to it.2. The second row already has a leading 1 in the second column, so we don't need to do anything to it.3. The third row already has a leading 1 in the third column, so we don't need to do anything to it.Now, let's compare the given matrix with the options provided:A.
B.
C.
D.
Comparing the given matrix with the options, we can see that option C matches the given matrix after performing row reduction. Therefore, the correct answer is option C.
