Solution

The answer is d. True.

Step 1: Understand the terms Row Echelon Form (REF) of a matrix is a form where all non-zero rows are above any rows of all zeros, and the leading coefficient (the first non-zero number from the left, also called the pivot) of a non-zero row is always strictly to the right of the pivot of the row above it.

Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF) is a form where it meets all the conditions of REF, and in addition, the pivot in each non-zero row is 1 and all other elements in the pivot's column are 0.

Step 2: Compare the two forms From the definitions, we can see that every RREF matrix meets all the conditions of REF.

Step 3: Conclusion Therefore, if a matrix is in reduced row echelon form, then it is also in row echelon form. So, the answer is d. True.
