A matrix being in row echelon form means that Gaussian elimination has operated on the rows.
A matrix is in reduced row echelon form (also called row canonical form) if it satisfies the following conditions:
- It is in row echelon form.
-The leading entry in each nonzero row is a 1 (called a leading 1).
-Each column containing a leading 1 has zeros in all its other entries.
The matrix presented on the problem satisfies all conditions, therefore, the matrix is indeed in reduced row-echelon form.
