Study Notes
Properties of Operations
-
Commutative Property:
- For addition: ( a + b = b + a )
- For multiplication: ( ab = ba )
-
Associative Property:
- For addition: ( a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c )
- For multiplication: ( a(bc) = (ab)c )
-
Distributive Property:
- ( a(b + c) = ab + ac ) or ( (b + c)a = ba + ca )
Identities
-
Additive Identity:
- The unique number ( 0 ) where ( a + 0 = a ) and ( 0 + a = a ) for any real number ( a ).
-
Multiplicative Identity:
- The unique number ( 1 ) where ( a \cdot 1 = a ) and ( 1 \cdot a = a ) for any real number ( a ).
Inverses
-
Additive Inverse:
- For every real number ( a ), the unique number ( -a ) such that ( a + (-a) = 0 ).
-
Multiplicative Inverse:
- For every real number ( a ) (except ( 0 )), the unique number ( a^{-1} ) such that ( a \cdot a^{-1} = 1 ).
Closure Properties
- The sum of two real numbers yields another real number.
- The product of two real numbers yields another real number.
Definitions of Operations
- Subtraction: ( x - y = x + (-y) )
- Division: ( x \div y = x \cdot y^{-1} ) where ( y \neq 0 )
Terms in Operations
- In multiplication ( ab ), ( a ) and ( b ) are factors.
- In addition ( a + b ), ( a ) and ( b ) are terms.
Examples of Irrational Numbers
- The sum and product of certain irrational numbers can yield rational numbers, indicating that irrational numbers are not closed under these operations.
- Example: ( 2 + (-2) = 0 ) (rational)
- Example: ( \sqrt{2} \times \sqrt{2} = 2 ) (rational)
Matrix Operations
-
Matrix Definitions:
- Let matrices ( A = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 \ 3 & 4 \end{pmatrix} ) and ( B = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 4 \ 1 & 3 \end{pmatrix} ).
-
Scalar Multiplication:
- ( 4A ) results in ( \begin{pmatrix} 4 & 8 \ 12 & 16 \end{pmatrix} ).
-
Matrix Addition with Negative:
- ( A + (-1)B ) leads to ( \begin{pmatrix} -1 & -2 \ 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix} ).
Laws of Scalar Multiplication
- Closure Law: Resultant matrix ( \alpha A ) is still ( m \times n ).
- Associative Law: ( \alpha(\beta A) = (\alpha \beta)A ).
-
Distributive Laws:
- ( \alpha(A + B) = \alpha A + \alpha B )
- ( (\alpha + \beta)A = \alpha A + \beta A )
- Monoidal Law: ( 1A = A ).
Example Matrices
- Given matrices:
- ( A = \begin{pmatrix} a & b \ 0 & 1 \end{pmatrix} )
- ( B = \begin{pmatrix} 0 & 1 \ c & d \end{pmatrix} )
