the row-switching transformation can be obtained from row-addition and row-multiplication transformations introduced below because

Row-multiplying transformations

The next type of row operation on a matrix multiplies all elements on row by where is a non-zero scalar (usually a real number). The corresponding elementary matrix is a diagonal matrix, with diagonal entries 1 everywhere except in the th position, where it is .

So is the matrix produced from
