What the the order of the matrix

2x3

100

What is the rule for determining if two matrices can be added or subtracted together?

The matrices have to be the exact same dimensions (equal number of rows and columns)

100

If you are able, how do you multiply matrices?

You multiply each row in the first matrix by each column in the second matrix. 

BONUS (+100): You multiply the corresponding elements and then add each of those products together to get each individual element in the solution matrix.

How do you know if a matrix does not have an inverse?

If the determinant equals zero.

What are the two methods to solve a system of equations using matrices?

Cramer's Rule and Inverses

200

Identify element a23 from A =

2

200

Find A - B:

A = [[2,-3],[-1,4]]

B=[[-4,1],[3,-2]]

A-B=[[-6,4],[4,-6]]

200

Multiply A and B.

A=[[1,1],[1,1]]

B=[[0,3],[4,4]]

AB=[[4,7],[4,7]]

200

Determine if these two matrices are inverses:

A=[[-9,-4],[-5,-2]]

B=[[1,-2],[-5/2,9/2]]

Yes, they are!

200

Solve using Cramer's Rule:

-4x - 7y = 2

5x - y = 7

x=47/39 and y=-38/39

300

Identify

1. 2x2 identity matrix

2. 3x3 identity matrix

1. [[1,0],[0,1]]

2.[[1,0,0],[0,1,0],[0,0,1]]

300

Find B - A

[[0,4,1],[2,-3,0],[6,6,-2]]

300

Multiply:

[[1,2, -2, -1],[-3, -4, 4, 3]]  [[5],[6],[7],[8]] 

[[-5],[13]] 

300

If possible, find the inverse of A:

A=[[3, 3],[-1, -1]]

A does not have an inverse.

300

Solve using matrix inverses:

6x - 3y = -1

8x - 5y = -2

x=1/6 and y=2/3

A group of friends is playing a Rock-Paper-Scissors Tournament. For each win they get 5 points and for a draw they get 2 points. Using matrices, determine the winner and by how many points they won.

Larry won by 1 point!

400

Find -1/3 B + 3A

[[4,12,-8],[23,-17,12],[-1,10,-6]]

400

Multiply:

[[-12,-3,-6,12,6],[4,-4,0,0,0]]

400

If possible, find the inverse of A:

A=[[2,6],[-1,-5]]

A^-1=[[5/4,3/2],[-1/4,-1/2]]

400

Solve using matrix inverses:

3x + 4y = 10

-3x - 7y = -5

x=50/9 and y=-5/3

500

Can the following matrices be multiplied together? How do you know? If so, what would the size of the solution matrix be?

[[1,2],[3, 4],[5, 6]] [[1,2, 3],[4, 5, 6]]

Yes, because the first matrix is a 3x2, and the second matrix is a 2x3. Since the second matrix has the same number of rows, as the first one has columns (2), these matrices can be multiplied together. Their product matrix would have 3 rows and 3 columns.

500

Find -2A - 1/6 B

[[2,3],[-11,7],[-18,-20],[-3,18]]

500

Multiply:

[[6,-8,2],[7,-5,11],[-2,6,-10]]

500

If possible, find the inverse of A:

A=[[3, 4],[-2, -1]]

A^-1=[[-1/5, -4/5],[2/5, 3/5]]

500

Solve using Cramer's Rule:

x=-5/7 , y=34/7 , and z=-5/7
