Warm-Up • Solve the following system:
Equal Matrices • Two matrices are considered equal if they have the same number of rows and columns (the same dimensions) AND all their corresponding elements are exactly the same.
Identity Matrices • An identity matrix is a square matrix that has 1’s along the main diagonal and 0’s everywhere else. • When you multiply a matrix by the identity matrix, you get the original matrix.
Matrix Addition • You can add or subtract matrices if they have the same dimensions (same number of rows and columns). • To do this, you add (or subtract) the corresponding numbers (numbers in the same positions).
Matrix Addition/Subtraction Example: Can you predict the answer matrix?
Practice ERROR ***These two matrices do not have the same dimensions, so we cannot add/subtract them together.
Commutativeproperty: Is the addition of matrices commutative? Give examples or counter examples to justify your answer.
Commutativeproperty: Is the subtraction of matrices commutative? Give examples or counter examples to justify your answer.
Scalar Multiplication • To do this, multiply each entry in the matrix by the number outside (called the scalar). This is like distributing a number to a polynomial.
Scalar Multiplication Example: Can you predict the answer matrix?
Other operations • There are other operations for matrices, which are beyond the scope of this class. • You can take math courses in college that involve more of matrix operations. • However, if you are interested to learn more refer to slides beyond the homework slide.
What you should know: • How to determine the dimension of a matrix. • How to add or subtract matrices. • How to multiply a matrix by a scalar. • How to use you’re the matrix key on your calculator to solve for systems of equations.
Homework: • See worksheet.
