Dimensions: (# rows) x (# columns) The Matrix • a rectangular array of terms element rows columns
Equal matrices • two matrices are equal if and only if they have the same dimensions and are identical, element by element Find the values of x and y for which the matrix equation is true.
Addition & subtraction of matrices • a sum or difference can only be found if the dimensions are equal Find A + B and A - B. If A= and B =
i.e. (3 x 4) * (4 x 5) is possible your product will be a (3 x 5) matrix Scalar & matrix multiplication • scalar (real number) multiplication - finding the product of a scalar and a matrix • matrix multiplication - finding the product of two matrices. • only possible if the # of columns of the 1st matrix = # of rows of the 2nd matrix
Find each product If A= B = and C = • AB • BC • 2A
