Study Notes
Linear Algebra Revision Lecture
- Matrices are rectangular arrays of numbers in rows and columns.
- Matrices represent linear transformations and systems of linear equations.
Square Matrix
- A square matrix has the same number of rows and columns (e.g., n x n).
- Example:
[ 2 3 ] [ 1 4 ]
Lower Triangular Matrix
- A square matrix where all entries above the main diagonal are zero.
- Example:
[ 4 0 0 ] [ 2 3 0 ] [ 1 -1 5 ]
Upper Triangular Matrix
- A square matrix where all entries below the main diagonal are zero.
- Example:
[ 3 5 2 ] [ 0 4 -1 ] [ 0 0 6 ]
Diagonal Matrix
- A matrix with all non-diagonal elements equal to zero.
- Example:
[ 5 0 0 ] [ 0 8 0 ] [ 0 0 3 ]
Identity Matrix
- A diagonal matrix where all diagonal entries are 1.
- It's the multiplicative identity in matrix operations.
- Example:
[ 1 0 0 ] [ 0 1 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ]
Transpose of a Matrix
- The transpose of matrix A (denoted AT) is obtained by swapping rows and columns.
- Example:
A = [ 1 2 ] [ 3 4 ] A<sup>T</sup> = [ 1 3 ] [ 2 4 ]
Orthogonal Matrix
- A matrix Q is orthogonal if QQT = I.
Symmetric and Skew-Symmetric Matrices
- Symmetric Matrix: A = AT
- Skew-Symmetric Matrix: A = -AT
- Example:
Symmetric: [ 2 1 ] [ 1 3 ] Skew-Symmetric: [ 0 2 ] [ -2 0 ]
Product of Matrices
- The product of matrices A and B is defined if the number of columns of A equals the number of rows of B.
- Example:
A = [ 1 2 ] B = [ 2 0 ] AB = [ 4 2 ] [ 3 4 ] [ 1 1 ] [ 10 4 ] [ 3 5 ] [ 3 5 ] [ 11 5 ]
Properties of the Inverse
- If A and B are invertible matrices:
- (AB)-1 = B-1A-1
- (cA)-1 = (1/c)A-1
- (A-1)-1 = A
- (AT)-1 = (A-1)T
Finding the Inverse of a 2x2 Matrix
- Calculate the determinant (det(A) = ad – bc).
- If det(A) ≠ 0, then A-1 = (1/det(A)) [ d -b ] [ -c a ]
Inverse by Adjoint Method
- Find the determinant of A.
- Calculate the cofactor matrix (cof(A)).
- Calculate the adjoint of A (transpose of cof(A)).
- If det(A) ≠ 0, A⁻¹ = (1/det(A)) adj(A)
- Multiply each entry of the adjoint by (1/det(A)).
Conditions for a Matrix to be in Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF)
- Pivots must be 1.
- All other elements in the pivot's column must be zero.
- If a pivot element is 0, then shift the pivot to the next column.
Steps of Finding the Inverse using RREF
- Set up the augmented matrix [A|I].
- Make the pivot 1.
- Make all other entries in the pivot's column 0.
- Repeat for successive pivots.
- When [A|I] is transformed to [I|A⁻¹], the right side is the inverse of A.
Solving Systems of Linear Equations using Inverse
- Find the inverse of matrix A.
- Multiply both sides by A⁻¹ to solve for X = A⁻¹B.
- Substitute A⁻¹ and B to find X.
