Study Notes
Matrix Operations
- Matrix Addition: To add two matrices, the matrices must have the same size. The sum is a matrix with elements that are the sums of the corresponding elements of the original matrices.
- Matrix Subtraction: To subtract matrix B from matrix A, subtract the corresponding elements.
- Multiplication by a Scalar: Multiplying a matrix M by a scalar k results in a matrix formed by multiplying each element of M by k.
- Matrix Multiplication: The product of a matrix A (with dimensions a x b) and a matrix B (with dimensions c x d) exists if b = c. The resulting matrix AB will have dimensions a x d.
- Matrix Multiplication Process: To multiply matrices A and B, multiply each element in the i-th row of A by the corresponding element in the j-th column of B and sum the products. The result is the element in the i-th row and j-th column of the product matrix.
- Matrix Multiplication: Note If a matrix is 1x1, it is usually represented as a real number.
Example Applications
- Production Costs: Matrices can represent production costs for different items at different plants.
- Production Costs and Quantity: Matrices can represent production costs (P) and quantities (Q) for different products. Multiplying Q by P (QP) provides the total cost of production for each product.
- File Backups: Matrices can represent average file sizes (P) for different file types and the number of files (Q) stored on servers. Multiplying Q by P results in the total storage needed for backups.
Exercise 3.2
- Perform matrix additions, subtractions, and multiplications as specified in exercise 3.2.1.
- Note: Remember to check the dimensions of the matrices before attempting multiplication.
