MATRIX OPERATIONS
About Matrices
 A matrix is a rectangular
arrangement of numbers in rows and
columns. Rows run horizontally and
columns run vertically.
 The dimensions of a matrix are stated
“m x n” where ‘m’ is the number of
rows and ‘n’ is the number of
columns.
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.
Special Matrices
Some matrices have special names
because of what they look like.
a) Row matrix: only has 1 row.
b) Column matrix: only has 1
column.
c) Square matrix: has the same
number of rows and columns.
d) Zero matrix: contains all zeros.
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).

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.

Matrix Multiplication is NOT
Commutative! Order matters!
You can multiply matrices only if the
number of columns in the first matrix
equals the number of rows in the second
matrix.

Matrix Multiplication

Take the numbers in the first row of
matrix #1. Multiply each number by its
corresponding number in the first
column of matrix #2. Total these
products.

The result, 11, goes in
row 1, column 1 of the
answer. Repeat with
row 1, column 2; row 1
column 3; row 2,
column 1; ...

Notice the dimensions of the matrices and
their product.

Matrix Determinants
 A Determinant is a real number associated
with a matrix. Only SQUARE matrices
have a determinant.
 The symbol for a determinant can be the
phrase “det” in front of a matrix variable,
det(A); or vertical bars around
a matrix, |A| or 3 1 .

Matrix Determinants
To find the determinant of a 2 x 2 matrix,
multiply diagonal #1 and subtract the product
of diagonal #2.
Diagonal 2 = -2

Matrix Determinants
To find the determinant of a 3 x 3 matrix, first
recopy the first two columns. Then do 6
diagonal products.

Matrix Determinants
The determinant of the matrix is the sum of
the downwards products minus the sum of the
upwards products.

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.
Inverse Matrices
 When you multiply a matrix and its
inverse, you get the identity matrix.

Inverse Matrices
 Not all matrices have an inverse!
 To find the inverse of a 2 x 2 matrix,
first find the determinant.
a) If the determinant = 0, the inverse does
not exist!
 The inverse of a 2 x 2 matrix is the
reciprocal of the determinant times the
matrix with the main diagonal swapped
and the other terms multiplied by -1.
