In some cases, a matrix may be row reduced to more than one matrix in reduced echelon form, using different sequences of row operations. Is this statement true or false?

    This is False.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    To solve matrices, operations such as the Gaussian elimination can be used. After this operation, a matrix with a row echelon form is obtained. The reduced echelon form is particular case of this, in which the matrix:

    1. Is in row echelon form.

    2. The first number in each non-zero row is 1 (which is called a leading 1).

    3. Each column that has a leading 1 has zeros everywhere else

    A matrix in a reduced row echelon form is unique and independent on the algorithm used to calculate it.
