Using Matrices to Represent Data

Matrix Terminology

• A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers enclosed in a single set of brackets.

• The dimensions of a matrix are the number of horizontal rows and the number of vertical columns it has.

• For example, if a matrix has 2 rows and 3 columns, its dimensions are 2 x 3.

• Each number in the matrix is an called an entry or element.

If Two Matrices are Equal

• Two matrices are equal if they have the same dimensions and if corresponding entries are equivalent.

• Solve ⌈2x+4 5 1 ⌉ ͟ ⌈12 5 1 for x & y.⌉ ⌊ -2 -3y + 5 -4 ⌋ ͞ ⌊-2 5y – 3 -4⌋

Because the matrices are equal:2x + 4 = 12 and -3y + 5 = 5y – 3.

Solving for x and y

2x + 4 = 12Subtract 4 from both sides 2x = 8 Divide both sides by 2X = 4

-3y + 5 = 5y – 3 Add 3y to both sides5 = 8y – 3 Add 3 to both sides8 = 8yDivide both sides by 81 = y

Addition and Scalar Multiplication

• To find the sum (or difference) of matrices A and B with the same dimensions, find the sums (or differences) of corresponding entries in A and B.

• Scalar multiplication is multiplication of each entry in a matrix by the same real number.

Properties of Matrix Addition

• For matrices A, B, and C, each with dimensions of m x n:

• Commutative A + B = B + A• Associative (A + B) + C = A + (B + C)• Additive IdentityThe m x n matrix having 0 as all of

its entries is the m x n identity matrix for addition.• Additive Inverse For every m x n matrix A, the

matrix whose entries are the opposite of those in A is the additive inverse of A.

Section 4.2

Matrix Multiplication

Matrix Multiplication

• If matrix A has dimensions m x n and matrix B has dimensions n x r, then the product AB has dimensions m x r.

• Find the entry in row i and column j of AB by finding the sum of the products of the corresponding entries in row i of A and column j of B.

Matrix Multiplication

• If matrix A has the dimensions 2 x 3 and matrix B has the dimensions 3 x 2, then:

• AB will have the dimensions 2 x 2.• BA will have the dimensions 3 x 3.• For AB, 2 x 3 3 x 2, the 2’s are the outer

dimensions and the 3’s are the inner dimensions.• For BA, 3 x 2 2 x 3, the 3’s are the outer

dimensions and the 2’s are the inner dimensions.

Matrix Multiplication

• If the inner dimensions are the same, then multiplication can occur. The outer dimensions give the product dimensions after multiplication occurs.

• If the inner dimensions are not the same, then multiplication cannot occur.

Matrix Multiplication

• A network is a finite set of connect points.• Each point is called a vertex.• A directed network is a network in which

permissible directions of travel between the vertices are indicated.

• You can represent a network in an adjacency matrix, which indicates how many one-stage (direct) paths are possible from one vertex to another.

The Inverse of a Matrix

Square Matrix

• A square matrix is a matrix that has the same number of columns and rows. 2x2, 3x3, 4x4,…

• An identity matrix, called I, has 1’s on the main diagonal and 0’s elsewhere.

⌈ 1 0 0⌉• I₃ₓ = | 0 1 0| ₃ ⌊ 0 0 1⌋

More About Matrices

The Identity Matrix of Mult.• Let A be a square matrix

with n rows and n columns. Let I be a matrix with the same dimensions and with 1’s on the main diagonal and 0’s elsewhere. Then AI = IA = A

The Inverse of a Matrix• Let A be a square matrix

with n rows and n columns. If there is an n x n matrix B, such that AB = I, then A and B are inverses of one another. The inverse of matrix A is denoted by A ¹.⁻

• Note A ¹ ⁻ ≠ 1/A

Determinant of a 2 x 2 Matrix

• Let A = ⌈a b .⌉ ⌊c d⌋The determinant of A, denoted by det(A) or |a b||c d|,Is defined as det(A) = |a b| = ad – bc. |c d|Matrix A has an inverse if and only if det(A) ≠ 0.

Solving Systems With Matrix Equations

Solving Systems With Matrix Equations

• A matrix equation – an equation of the form AX = B, where A is the coefficient matrix, X is the variable matrix, and B is the constant matrix.

• A system of linear equations can be used to represent situations and be written as a matrix equation.

Solving a Matrix Equation

Real Numbersax = b(1/a)(ax) = (1/a)(b)(1/a)(a)x = b/ax = b/a

A linear equation of the form ax = b, where a, b, and x are real numbers and a ≠ 0.

MatricesAX = BA ¹⁻ (AX) = A ¹⁻ (B)(A ¹⁻ )(A)X = A ¹(⁻ B)I X = A ¹(⁻ B)X = A ¹(⁻ B)

Using Matrix Row Operations

Using Matrix Row Operations

• The row-reduction method of solving a system allows you to determine whether the system is independent, dependent, or inconsistent.

• The row-reduction method is performed on an augmented matrix. An augmented matrix consists of the coefficients and constant terms in the system of equations.

• Reduced row-echelon form – an augmented matrix is in this form if the coefficient columns form an identity matrix.

Elementary Row Operations

• The following operations produce equivalent matrices, and may be used in any order and as many times as necessary to obtain reduced row-echelon form.

• Interchange two rows.• Multiply all entries in one row by a nonzero #.• Add a multiple of one row to another.

Example Cont.

-2R + R → R₃ ₂ ₂⌈1 0 0 : 8 ⌉|0 1 0 : 7 |⌊0 0 1 : 6 ⌋The matrix is now in reduced row-echelon form. m = 8, a = 7, n = 6

• Dependent System – a system of equations that has infinitely many solutions.

• Independent System – a system of equations that has exactly one solution.

• Inconsistent System – a system of equations or inequalities that has no solution.
