Matrices Part 1

The document provides examples and explanations of matrix multiplication and properties. It includes several practice problems involving determining the order and product of matrices. Specifically, it discusses how the middle terms of a matrix multiplication must match for the multiplication to be defined, and how the order of the resulting matrix is determined by the outer terms. It also covers calculating determinants and inverses of matrices.

Solution

Student thinks

Order {A) = (3x 2), order (XA) = (3x2)


(3x3)x(3x2) = (3x2) so order (X) = (3x 3)
Answer: E

Distxactor A: Think that order (A) = order (XA) = (2 x 3), giving

(2 x 2) x (2 x 3) = (2 x 3), so order (X) = (2x2)

To be able to multiply two


matrices, when the orders are
written down, the middle two
numbers must be the same and
the resulting matrix is given by
the outside two numbers
