Matrix operations involve element-wise addition, scalar multiplication, transposition, and matrix multiplication. Each operation follows specific rules to combine or transform matrices.
Question 2: Row Reduction
step 1
Given augmented matrix:
132amp;1amp;−2amp;−1amp;2amp;−4amp;−2amp;1amp;−7amp;2
step 2
Apply row operations to reduce the matrix to row echelon form:
100amp;1amp;−5amp;−3amp;2amp;−10amp;−6amp;1amp;−10amp;0
step 3
Continue row operations to achieve reduced row echelon form:
100amp;0amp;1amp;0amp;0amp;2amp;0amp;0amp;0amp;1
Row reduction involves using elementary row operations to transform a matrix into its row echelon form or reduced row echelon form, which simplifies solving systems of linear equations.
Question 3: Inverse of a Matrix
step 1
Given matrix:
241amp;1amp;−1amp;−1amp;0amp;5amp;2
step 2
Apply row operations to find the inverse:
100amp;0amp;1amp;0amp;0amp;0amp;1→1−1−1amp;−2/3amp;4/3amp;1amp;5/3amp;−10/3amp;−2
Finding the inverse of a matrix involves transforming the matrix into the identity matrix using row operations, while applying the same operations to the identity matrix to obtain the inverse.
