Describe an example of an augmented matrix.

Step-by-step explanation:

When we join the columns of two or more matrices having the same number of rows it is known as augmented matrix.

Let A=

     B=

Then the augmented matrix is(A|B)

Note that a vertical line is used to separate te columns of A from the columns of B

(A|B)

This is a simple example of augmented matrix....

An augmented matrix refers to a matrix formed by appending the columns of two matrices.

The perfect example to show this is a linear systems of equations, because there we have a matrix formed by the coeffcients of the variables only, and we have a second matrix formed by the constant terms of the system.

If we have the system

The two maxtrix involved here are

However, to solve the system using matrices, we have to formed an augmented matrix

So, as we defined it at the beginning, an augmented matrix is the appending of colums from two matrices to form one.
