Types of Matrices and Matrix Addition
TLDRThe script introduces matrices and defines terminology related to them like square, diagonal, triangular, vector, and row vector matrices. It explains scalar multiplication and matrix addition, which requires matrices to have identical dimensions. Addition is commutative but subtraction is not. It also shows the vector form of a linear system, where the coefficient vectors are multiplied by scalars and added to the constant vector. These basic matrix operations like scalar multiplication, addition, and subtraction are explained.
Takeaways
- 😀 Matrices are arrays of numbers that often represent coefficients and constants from systems of linear equations.
- 📏 Square matrices have the same number of rows and columns. The main diagonal goes from the top left to the bottom right.
- 🔺 Diagonal, upper triangular, and lower triangular are special types of square matrices based on where the zero entries are.
- ⃗ Vectors are special cases of matrices - a column vector has one column, and a row vector has one row.
- ➕ Matrices can be added together if they have the same dimensions. Each entry is the sum of the corresponding entries.
- ➖ Matrices can also be subtracted using the same rule by subtracting corresponding entries.
- 🔁 Matrix addition is commutative, but matrix subtraction is not.
- ✖ Scalar multiplication multiplies every entry in a matrix by a scalar value.
- 📊 The vector form of a linear system uses separate vectors for the coefficients of each variable.
- 👍 These basic matrix operations allow matrices to be manipulated and linear systems to be expressed in multiple ways.
Q & A
What is a square matrix?
-A square matrix is one where the number of rows and columns is the same.
What is a diagonal matrix?
-A diagonal matrix is one where all the entries that are not part of the main diagonal are zero.
What is an identity matrix?
-An identity matrix is a diagonal matrix where all the entries on the main diagonal are one and the rest are zero.
What is an upper triangular matrix?
-An upper triangular matrix is a square matrix where all the entries below the main diagonal are zero.
What is a lower triangular matrix?
-A lower triangular matrix is a square matrix where all the entries above the main diagonal are zero.
What is a vector in matrix terminology?
-A vector is a matrix with a single column. It is commonly used to represent the solution to a system of equations.
What is a row vector?
-A row vector is a matrix with a single row.
What operation allows you to multiply every entry in a matrix by a scalar?
-Scalar multiplication allows you to multiply every entry in a matrix by a scalar value.
What conditions must be met to add two matrices together?
-To add two matrices, they must have the same number of rows and columns - identical dimensions.
Is matrix addition commutative?
-Yes, matrix addition is commutative, meaning the order does not matter.
