Find given
On the matrix page of the calculator, we enter matrix above as the matrix variable matrix above as the matrix variable and matrix above as the matrix variable
On the home screen of the calculator, we type in the problem and call up each matrix variable as needed.
The calculator gives us the following matrix.
Access these online resources for additional instruction and practice with matrices and matrix operations.
Can we add any two matrices together? If so, explain why; if not, explain why not and give an example of two matrices that cannot be added together.
No, they must have the same dimensions. An example would include two matrices of different dimensions. One cannot add the following two matrices because the first is a matrix and the second is a matrix. has no sum.
Can we multiply any column matrix by any row matrix? Explain why or why not.
Can both the products and be defined? If so, explain how; if not, explain why.
Yes, if the dimensions of are and the dimensions of are both products will be defined.
Can any two matrices of the same size be multiplied? If so, explain why, and if not, explain why not and give an example of two matrices of the same size that cannot be multiplied together.
Does matrix multiplication commute? That is, does If so, prove why it does. If not, explain why it does not.
Not necessarily. To find we multiply the first row of by the first column of to get the first entry of To find we multiply the first row of by the first column of to get the first entry of Thus, if those are unequal, then the matrix multiplication does not commute.
