Matrices & Determinants — Solved Examples

(AKU-EB HSSC 2025)

2.1.1 Matrix Operations


Example: Let A = [[1,2],[3,4]], B = [[2,0],[1,2]].
A + B = [[3,2],[4,6]]
A - B = [[-1,2],[2,2]]
A × B = [[1*2+2*1, 1*0+2*2], [3*2+4*1, 3*0+4*2]] = [[4,4],[10,8]]

2.1.2 Special Types of Matrices


Upper Triangular: Non-zero elements only on and above main diagonal.
Lower Triangular: Non-zero elements only on and below main diagonal.
Transpose: Interchange rows & columns.
Symmetric: A = A■ ; Skew-Symmetric: A = -A■.
Hermitian: A = A* (conjugate transpose). Skew-Hermitian: A = -A*.
Involutory: A² = I ; Nilpotent: A■ = 0 ; Idempotent: A² = A.
Periodic: A■ = A ; Orthogonal: A■A = I.

2.2 Determinants
Example: For A = [[1,2,3],[0,1,4],[5,6,0]], det(A) = 1*(1*0-4*6) - 2*(0*0-4*5) + 3*(0*6-1*5) =
-24+40-15=1.

2.2.3 Minors & Cofactors


Example: For A = [[1,2],[3,4]], minor of a11 = det([[4]])=4, cofactor C11 = (+)4=4.

2.2.4 Adjoint & Inverse


Example: A = [[1,2],[3,4]]. Adjoint(A) = [[4,-2],[-3,1]]. det(A) = -2. A■¹ = (1/det(A)) * adj(A) =
[[-2,1],[1.5,-0.5]].

2.3 Solution of Linear Equations


Example: Solve system using Inverse method:
2x + y = 5, x - y = 1.
Matrix form: AX = B, A=[[2,1],[1,-1]], B=[[5],[1]]. det(A)=-3.
Adj(A)=[[ -1,-1],[-1,2]], A■¹=(1/-3)*Adj(A)=[[1/3,1/3],[1/3,-2/3]].
X = A■¹B = [[2],[1]]. Solution: x=2, y=1.

2.3.6 Real-world Application


Matrices are used in: Graphic design (image transformations), Data encryption (Hill Cipher),
Seismic analysis (vibration modes), Cryptography (coding theory), Transformation of geometric
shapes (rotation, scaling), Social network analysis (connections as adjacency matrices).
