Question
Use suitable transformation on $\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4\end{array}\right]$ into an upper triangular matrix.

Answer

Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4\end{array}\right]$

By $R_2-3 R_1$, we get,

$A \sim\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 2 \\ 0 & -2\end{array}\right]$

This is an upper triangular matrix.
