Study Notes

Nonsingular Matrices

  • A matrix A is nonsingular if its determinant is not equal to zero.
  • If A and B are nonsingular matrices of the same order, then AB and BA are also nonsingular matrices of the same order.

Determinant of Product of Matrices

  • The determinant of the product of matrices is equal to the product of their respective determinants.
  • If A is a square matrix of order n, then |adj(A)| = |A|^(n-1).

Invertible Matrices

  • A square matrix A is invertible if and only if A is a nonsingular matrix.
  • If A is invertible, then A^(–1) = (1/|A|)adj(A).

Solution of System of Linear Equations

  • The system of linear equations can be written as AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix.
  • If A is a nonsingular matrix, then the system of equations has a unique solution given by X = A^(–1)B.
  • If A is a singular matrix, then the system of equations may have no solution or infinitely many solutions.

Adjoint of a Matrix

  • The adjoint of a square matrix A is defined as the transpose of the matrix of cofactors.
  • Adjoint of the matrix A is denoted by adj(A).
  • adj(A) can be used to find the inverse of a matrix A, i.e., A^(–1) = (1/|A|)adj(A).
