Matrices and Systems of Equations Advanced Math 10.1
Column 1 Column 2 Row 1 Row 2 Row 3 Matrix • Rectangular array of real numbers • Plural: matrices • An m x n matrix has m rows and n columns • Example: a 3 x 2 matrix Advanced Math 10.1
Matrix entry • aij • Each number in the matrix • Has a double subscript to represent row i and column j • Example: a23 means the number in the second row, third column Advanced Math 10.1
Matrix order • m x n • Number of rows x Number of columns Order: 2 x 2 Square matrix Order: 4 x 3 Order: 3 x 4 Advanced Math 10.1
Row matrix • Has only 1 row Advanced Math 10.1
Column matrix • Has only 1 column Advanced Math 10.1
Matrices from a system of equations • Line up columns by variable with constant on the right • Don’t forget zeros Advanced Math 10.1
Reduced row-echelon form • Any row of all zeros must be at the bottom • For all other rows, the first nonzero entry is 1 (called a leading 1) • For two successive (nonzero) rows, the leading 1 in the higher row is farther to the left than the leading 1 in the lower row • Every column that has a leading 1 has zeros in every position above and below its leading 1.
