4E WS3A Intro To Matrices

The document provides definitions and examples related to matrices. It defines a matrix as a rectangular array of elements arranged in rows and columns. It discusses the order of matrices based on the number of rows and columns. It also defines and provides examples of different types of matrices including row matrices, column matrices, square matrices, diagonal matrices, null matrices, identity matrices, and transpose matrices. It discusses matrix addition and subtraction which involves adding or subtracting the corresponding elements of matrices of the same order. It also discusses multiplying a matrix by a scalar which involves multiplying each element of the matrix by the scalar.

Multiplication of a Matrix by a Scalar


It is hard to fail, but it is worse never to have tried to succeed. Theodore Roosevelt

Let A = c

b d

Then 2A = 2 c

b = d

Hence, if k is a scalar, Then the matrix kA is the matrix whose elements are the ____________ of k and each elements of A. Practice: Given A = ( 3 (i) 2A
5 5) , find

(ii) 3A
