Which of the following statement is true?a. The echelon form of a matrix is unique.
b. The pivot positions in a matrix depend on whether row interchanges are used in the row reduction process.
c. Reducing a matrix to echelon form is called the forward phase of the row reduction process.
d. Whenever a system has free variables, the solution set contains many solutions.

Answer:

c. Reducing a matrix to echelon form is called forward phase of the row reduction process.

Step-by-step explanation:

Forward Phase in Row Reduction Process: It is the process in which operations are performed to get leading entries in non-zero rows.

Backward Phase: It is the process of reducing matrix from echelon form to reduced echelon form.
