Overview<\/strong>– matrix operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A matrix<\/a> is the rectangular arrangement of arrays, that we arrange in rows and columns. the term \u201cMatrix\u201d was coined by James Joseph Sylvester in 1850. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this blog, We are going to discuss about the matrix operations<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Definition of matrix<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It is a rectangular arrangement of numbers that we form by keeping them in m numbers of rows and n numbers of columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Algebra of Matrices<\/strong>– matrix operations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

let’s discuss about the matrix operations-<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1.     Addition and subtraction of matrices<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Addition and subtraction of matrices is possible if and only if they are of same order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We add or subtract the corresponding elements of the matrices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1.<\/strong>     Scalar multiplication of matrices:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this, we multiply the scalar or constant with each element of the matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2.     Multiplication of matrices<\/strong>: We can multiply two matrices only if they are conformal i.e. the number of columns of the first matrix is equal to the number rows of the second matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1.     Power of Matrices<\/strong>: If A is A square matrix then <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

         If where A is square matrix then it is said to be idempotent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5.Transpose of  a  matrix:<\/strong> The  matrix that we obtain from any given  matrix A ,  by interchanging rows  and   columns is  called  the  transpose of  A and is  denoted  by <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

here, the transpose of matrix <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Types of matrices<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Row matrix:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A matrix with only one single row and many columns is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Column matrix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 A matrix with only one single column and many rows can be possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Square matrix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Square matrix- A matrix in which the number of rows is equal to the number of columns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus an m by n matrix is a square matrix then m = n and is said to be of order n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The determinant having the same elements as the square matrix A is called the determinant  of  the matrix A. denoted by |A|.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The diagonal elements of matrix A are 2, 2 and 1 is the leading and the principal diagonal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sum of the diagonal elements of square matrix A is called the trace of A.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A square matrix is a singular if its determinant is zero otherwise non-singular<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Hence the square matrix A is   non-singular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Diagonal matrix<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A square matrix is a diagonal matrix if all its non diagonal elements are zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Scalar matrix:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A  diagonal  matrix is a scalar matrix if  its diagonal  elements  are equal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Identity matrix:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A square matrix in  which elements in  the diagonal  are all 1  and the rest are all zero  is  called  an  identity matrix  or Unit matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"\/<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 Null Matrix:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

If all the elements of a matrix are zero, then it is a null or zero matrix.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ex:    etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Symmetric matrix:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A square matrix is a symmetric matrix if its transpose is equal to the matrix itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For example:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
