Matrix – a rectangular array or terms called elements. • Elements are arranged in rows and columns and enclosed by brackets. • A matrix with m rows and n columns is an m x n matrix. • The dimensions of the matrix and m and n. • Named using a capital letter.
Two matrices are equal if and only if they have the same dimensions and are identical, element by element. Ex 2
Additive Identity – for every matrix A, another matrix can be found so that their sum is A.
Ex 4 Fins S – T.
Scalar multiplication –multiply each element of the matrix by the scalar. Ex 5Find 4A if A=
Matrix multiplication – the product of an m x n matrix and an n x r matrix is an m x r matrix. • Ex 6 • Find AB • Find BC
