Study Notes
Identity Matrix
- An identity matrix, when multiplied by another matrix, yields the same matrix.
- Identity matrices must be square, meaning the number of columns matches the number of rows of the multiplied matrix.
Additive and Multiplicative Inverses
- The additive inverse is a number that, when added to another number, results in a sum of zero.
- The multiplicative inverse is a number that, when multiplied by another number, results in a product of one.
Transpose of a Matrix
- The transpose of a matrix is created by converting its rows into columns.
- The transpose of a transpose returns the original matrix: ( A^{T^T} = A ).
- The transpose of a sum of matrices equals the sum of their transposes: ( (A + B)^T = A^T + B^T ).
- The transpose of a scalar multiple yields: ( (c \cdot A)^T = c \cdot A^T ).
- The transpose of a product reverses the order of multiplication: ( (A \cdot B)^T = B^T \cdot A^T ).
Proving Inverse
- To confirm that matrix B is the inverse of matrix A, multiply A by B; the result should be the identity matrix.
Determining Inverse Existence
- A matrix has an inverse if its determinant is not equal to zero.
Inverse of a 3x3 Matrix
- To find the inverse of a 3x3 matrix, augment it with the identity matrix and reduce it to row echelon form.
Matrix Multiplication Properties
- Matrix multiplication is not commutative; ( AB \neq BA ). For example, ( (A + B)(A - B) \neq A^2 - B^2 ).
Solutions of a Linear System
- A matrix may yield exactly one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions based on its configuration.
Singular Matrices
- A singular matrix is not invertible, indicated by a determinant of zero.
- If the determinant equals zero, the matrix is determined to be singular and not invertible.
