Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The matrix is not in reduced form because it is not in row echelon form and the leading entries in each row are not the only non-zero entries in their respective columns. There is no indication that the matrix has undergone any row operations to reduce it, and there is no indication of leading 1's in each row. Therefore, it is not in reduced form.
