Matrix - Detailed Notes with Examples

1. Matrix:
A matrix is a rectangular arrangement of numbers in rows and columns.
Example: A = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ]

2. Types of Matrices:
- Row Matrix: Only one row.
Example: [2, 5, 7]
- Column Matrix: Only one column.
Example: [ [3], [6], [9] ]
- Square Matrix: Rows = Columns.
Example: [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ]
- Diagonal Matrix: Non-diagonal elements are zero.
Example: [ [5, 0], [0, 7] ]
- Scalar Matrix: Diagonal matrix with equal diagonal elements.
Example: [ [4, 0], [0, 4] ]
- Identity Matrix: Diagonal elements = 1.
Example: [ [1, 0], [0, 1] ]
- Zero Matrix: All elements are zero.
Example: [ [0, 0], [0, 0] ]
- Symmetric Matrix: A = A■.
Example: [ [1, 2], [2, 3] ]
- Skew-Symmetric Matrix: A = -A■.
Example: [ [0, -2], [2, 0] ]

3. Operations on Matrices:
- Addition:
A = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ], B = [ [5, 6], [7, 8] ]
A + B = [ [6, 8], [10, 12] ]

- Subtraction:
A - B = [ [-4, -4], [-4, -4] ]

- Scalar Multiplication:
2 × A = [ [2, 4], [6, 8] ]

4. Product of Two Matrices:


If A = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ], B = [ [2, 0], [1, 2] ]
Then AB = [ [1×2+2×1, 1×0+2×2], [3×2+4×1, 3×0+4×2] ]
= [ [4, 4], [10, 8] ]

5. Determinants of a Square Matrix:


For A = [ [a, b], [c, d] ], |A| = ad - bc.
Example: A = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ], |A| = (1×4 - 2×3) = -2

6. Co-factor of an Element:
Example: For A = [ [1, 2, 3], [0, 4, 5], [1, 0, 6] ]
C■■ = (-1)^(1+1) × det([ [4, 5], [0, 6] ]) = (24 - 0) = 24

7. Adjoint of a Square Matrix:


For A = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ],
Cofactor matrix = [ [4, -3], [-2, 1] ]
adj(A) = Transpose = [ [4, -2], [-3, 1] ]
8. Inverse of a Square Matrix:
A■¹ = adj(A) / |A|
Example: A = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ], |A| = -2
adj(A) = [ [4, -2], [-3, 1] ]
A■¹ = (1/-2) × [ [4, -2], [-3, 1] ] = [ [-2, 1], [1.5, -0.5] ]

9. Cayley-Hamilton Theorem:
Every square matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation.
Example: A = [ [1, 2], [2, 1] ]
Characteristic equation: λ² - 2λ - 3 = 0
Cayley-Hamilton theorem states that A² - 2A - 3I = 0.

10. Practice Problems:


1. Find the determinant of A = [ [2, 3], [1, 4] ].
2. Find the inverse of A = [ [3, 0], [2, 1] ].
3. Verify Cayley-Hamilton theorem for A = [ [2, 1], [1, 2] ].
4. Multiply A = [ [1, 2], [3, 4] ] with B = [ [2, 0], [1, 2] ].
