BackwardSubstitute - Maple Help

Student[LinearAlgebra]

 BackwardSubstitute
 solve A . x = b where A is in upper row echelon form

 Calling Sequence BackwardSubstitute(A, b, options)

Parameters

 A - upper row echelon form Matrix b - (optional) Vector options - (optional) parameters; for a complete list, see LinearAlgebra[BackwardSubstitute]

Description

 • The BackwardSubstitute(A, b) command, where A is an upper row echelon Matrix and b is a Vector, returns a solution to the equation $A·x=b$.
 If b is not included in the calling sequence, A is assumed to be an augmented Matrix.
