    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} )
