3. Matrix (Plural: Matrices) A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers used to store information Terminology: Dimensions or “Order” (#rows x #columns) Entries Square matrices, Vectors Future Application: Matrices are tools that can be used to analyze multiple dimensions and multiple variables (not just 2 and 3)

4. Row and Column Vectors A matrix with one dimension equal to 1 is called a vector Below is a “column vector”

5. Adding Matrices To add matrices, order must be identical Add corresponding entries to create a new matrix of the same order

16. Determining the Dimensions of the Product Write out the dimensions of the two matrices (1x2)(2x2) (2x3)(3x2) If the two middle numbers line up, then multiplication is possible (the columns in the first matrix match the rows in the second matrix) The two outer numbers give the dimensions of the product (1x2)(2x2)  (1x2) (2x3)(3x2)  (2x2)

17. Calculators Go to the “Matrix” Menu and scroll to “Edit” Select Matrix [A]: Enter the dimensions and the entries of the first matrix, Quit Select Matrix [B]: Enter the dimensions and the entries of the first matrix, Quit Calculate [A][B]

18. Matrix Topics NO Commutative Property of Multiplication Identity Matrix (for square matrices) Square matrix with all zero entries except for the top left to bottom right diagonal, which contains all ones Determinant We will analyze square matrices only We will look at 2x2 matrices first, and 3x3 matrices later

19. Properties of the Identity Let A be a square matrix of order NxN “I” is the Identity Matrix of order NxN The following statement is true

20. The Determinant The determinant “determines” whether or not a matrix is “non-singular” or “invertible”. If the determinant is non-zero, the matrix is non-singular If the determinant is zero, the matrix is singular, and has no inverse The Inverse, and the ability to calculate an inverse will be important when we use matrices to solve systems of equations in multiple variables (this is a common application of matrices)

27. Calculating the Inverse Matrix Derivation (on 388-389) Though you will not be required to “re-derive” the inverse, you will have to calculate the inverse matrix for 2x2 matrices

28. The Determinant Note the position of the determinant in the denominator. If the determinant is equal to ZERO, then the Inverse is not defined (or “there is no Inverse”). If the determinant of a matrix is equal to 0, the matrix is called “singular” Otherwise, it is “non-singular”
