MATHEMATICS NOTES CHAPTER - 3

Points to Remember

Students can find the important points to remember for this chapter below.

• A set of numbers (real or imaginary) or symbols or expressions arranged in the form of a rectangular array of m rows and n columns is called an m×n matrix.

• A square matrix A=[aij]n×n is called an identity or a unit matrix, if aij=0 for all i≠j and aij=1 for all i=j.

• Commutativity: If A and B are two matrices of the same order, then A+B=B+A.

• Associativity: If A, B, and C are three matrices of the same order, then (A+B)+C=A+(B+C).

• Existence of Identity: The null matrix is the identity element for matrix addition i.e., A+O=A=O+A

• Existence of Inverse: For every matrix A=[aij]m×n, there exists a matrix −A=[−aij]m×n, such that A+(−A)=O=(−A)+A

• Cancellation Laws: If A, B, C are three matrices of the same order, then A+B=A+C⇒B=C and, B+A=C+A⇒B=C

• In order to find the inverse of a non-singular square matrix A by elementary operations, we write A=IA or A=AI

• We perform a sequence of elementary row operations successively on A on the LHS and the pre-factor I on RHS till we obtain. The matrix B, so obtained, is the desired inverse of matrix A.
