Study Notes
Matrices
- A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or functions, each known as an entry or element.
- Example:
[ 4 -2 1 sin(x) cos(x) ] [ 0 3 5 -cos(x) sin(x) ]
Trace of a Matrix
- The trace of a square matrix A is the sum of its main diagonal elements, denoted as tr(A).
- If A is not a square matrix, its trace is undefined.
- Example: For A =
tr(A) = 4 + 6 = 10.[ 4 5 ] [ 10 6 ]
Types of Matrices
-
Symmetric Matrix: A matrix A is symmetric if A = AT.
- Example:
[ 1 3 4 ] [ 3 2 7 ] [ 4 7 4 ]
- Example:
-
Skew-Symmetric Matrix: A matrix A is skew-symmetric if A = -AT.
- Example:
[ 0 -3 4 ] [ 3 0 -7 ] [ -4 -7 0 ]
- Example:
-
Singular and Non-Singular Matrix:
- A matrix A is non-singular if its determinant |A| ≠ 0.
- It is singular if |A| = 0.
- Example:
- |A| for A =
gives |A| = 0 (singular).[ 2 1 ] [ 8 4 ] - |A| for A =
gives |A| = -2 (non-singular).[ 3 4 ]
- |A| for A =
-
Orthogonal Matrix: A matrix is orthogonal if the product of the matrix and its transpose equals the identity matrix.
Rank of a Matrix
- The rank of a matrix is determined by the number of non-zero rows in its Row Echelon Form.
- Example:
has a rank of 2.[ 1 3 -1 ] [ 0 1 4 ]
Quadratic Forms
- A quadratic form is a homogeneous polynomial of the second degree, such as ax² + 2hxy + by².
- It can be represented in matrix notation using a symmetric matrix A.
Diagonalization
- A matrix A can be diagonalized with a matrix P such that P⁻¹AP = D, where D is a diagonal matrix.
- The characteristic equation is |A - λI_n| = 0 to find eigenvalues.
System of Linear Equations
- A system of linear equations can be represented using matrices in the form A[X] = B, where:
- A: coefficient matrix
- X: vector of variables
- B: constant matrix
Gauss Elimination Method
- A technique to solve systems of linear equations to transform matrices into Row Echelon Form, facilitating back substitution to find variable values.
Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
- Eigenvalues determine scaling factors in transformations applied to eigenvectors, solutions to |A - λI| = 0 give eigenvalues.
- Eigenvalues can also determine the form of powers of matrices like A².
Notes on Systems of Equations
- To find unique or infinite solutions:
- Analyze the determinant and rank of the augmented matrix.
- Use back substitution to derive specific variable values.
