Example Question #51 : Matrices

Find the determinant of the matrix $A=\begin{vmatrix} -15& -2\\ 4& -1\end{vmatrix}$

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The determinant of a 2x2 matrix can be found by cross multiplying terms as follows:

$det\begin{vmatrix} a&b \\ c&d \end{vmatrix}=ad-bc$

For the matrix $A=\begin{vmatrix} -15& -2\\ 4& -1\end{vmatrix}$

The determinant is thus:

|A|=15-(-8)=23

Example Question #53 : Matrices

Find the matrix product of $A\times b$ , where $A=\begin{vmatrix} 2&0 \\3 &1 \end{vmatrix}$ and $b=\begin{vmatrix} 4\\-2 \end{vmatrix}$ .

Possible Answers:

$\begin{vmatrix}8\\0 \end{vmatrix}$

$\begin{vmatrix}0\\10 \end{vmatrix}$

$\begin{vmatrix}10\\8 \end{vmatrix}$

$\begin{vmatrix}10\\10 \end{vmatrix}$

$\begin{vmatrix}8\\10 \end{vmatrix}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{vmatrix}8\\10 \end{vmatrix}$

Explanation:

In order to multiply two matrices, $A\times b$ , the respective dimensions of each must be of the form $m \times n$ and $n \times p$ to create an $m\times p$ (notation is rows x columns) matrix. Unlike the multiplication of individual values, the order of the matrices does matter.

$(A\times b \neq b \times A)$

For a multiplication of the form

$\begin{vmatrix} A_{1,1}&A_{1,2} &... &A_{1,n} \\ A_{2,1}&A_{2,2} &.. &A_{2,n} \\ ...& ...&... &... \\ A_{m,1}&A_{m,2} &... &A_{m,n} \end{vmatrix}\times \begin{vmatrix} b_{1,1}&b_{1,2} &... &b_{1,p} \\ b_{2,1}&b_{2,2} &... &b_{2,p} \\ ...&... &... &... \\ b_{n,1}&b_{n,2} &... &b_{n,p} \end{vmatrix}$

The resulting matrix is

$\begin{vmatrix} A_{1,1}b_{1,1}+A_{1,2}b_{2,1}+...+A_{1,n}b_{n,1}&... &A_{1,1}b_{1,p}+A_{1,2}b_{2,p}+...+A_{1,n}b_{n,p} \\ ...&... &... \\ A_{m,1}b_{1,1}+A_{m,2}b_{2,1}+...+A_{m,n}b_{n,1}&... &A_{m,1}b_{1,p}+A_{m,2}b_{2,p}+...+A_{m,n}b_{n,p} \end{vmatrix}$

The notation may be daunting but numerical examples may elucidate.

We're told that $A=\begin{vmatrix} 2&0 \\3 &1 \end{vmatrix}$ and $b=\begin{vmatrix} 4\\-2 \end{vmatrix}$

The resulting matrix product is then:

$A\times b = \begin{vmatrix}8+0\\ 12-2\end{vmatrix}=\begin{vmatrix}8\\10 \end{vmatrix}$

Example Question #54 : Matrices

$\begin{vmatrix}3\\12 \end{vmatrix}$

Correct answer:

$\begin{vmatrix}3\\12 \end{vmatrix}$

Explanation:

The resulting matrix is

The notation may be daunting but numerical examples may elucidate.

We're told that $A=\begin{vmatrix} 3&0 \\0 &3 \end{vmatrix}$ and $b=\begin{vmatrix} 1\\4 \end{vmatrix}$
