1.1CONCEPTOFMATRIX
A matrix is by definition an arrangement of numerical coefficients (factors
multiplicative) or literals that have been arranged in rows (m) and columns (n)
respectively. Kleiman Ariel-Elena K of Kleiman, (2002), defines "the matrices is
basically, information that has been provided to us, and is used in the
resolution of linear equations. For other applications, it is advisable to develop a
matrix arithmetic in which it is possible to add, multiply the matrices in one
useful form.

1.2NOTATION
A matrix is typically represented by the following notation 'aijwhere the
Subscripts indicate the row and column of the corresponding element.

José Manuel Casteleiro Villalba, (2010) defines "every square matrix has two
diagonals, one of which is called the main diagonal and the other the secondary diagonal.

importance in the calculation.

1.9TRANSPOSEDMATRICES

Ariel Kleiman. (2002) defines 'in matrix theory the transpose of a matrix is defined
always in relation to another matrix. The transposed matrix is a new matrix in which
rows have been exchanged for columns, in relation to the given matrix.

Example:

A = a1a2 AT= a1b1


b1b2 a2b2

1.10LINEAREQUATIONS

A system of linear equations or simply a linear system is an expression of


type:

a1x1+ a2x2+……+anxnb=

Where:

a1 = coefficient

x1=variable

b = constant

As long as the equation has a solution, there are homogeneous systems of equations and
heterogeneous.
Homogeneous systems - are those where their constant is equal to zero. If the
the number of equations is equal to the number of variables, then the system can have
a single trivial solution (Obvious solution to an equation or set of equations that
does not provide useful information about a given context). For example, x5+ y5= z5has
a trivial solution x = 0; y = 0; z = 0. That is, each variable will be zero; if it does not occur
thus it will have infinite solutions.

Heterogeneous systems.- these are those in which the constant is different from zero, these
systems can have a unique solution different from the trivial, or it can have infinite solutions
solutions, and just like the homogeneous ones, the number of equations is taken into account.
just like its number of variables, and depending on that we will know if it will have a solution
not trivial or if not it will have infinite solutions.

1.11 MATRICES AND SYSTEM OF LINEAR EQUATIONS

1.11.1 GAUSS-JORDAN THEOREM

This theorem will allow us to determine the characteristics of a system of equations.


linear.
Here we apply defined operations for the rows of a matrix which are:

1.- Two rows can be swapped with each other.

2.- Any of the rows, whichever it may be, can be multiplied by a different scalar.
from scratch.

3.- You can add or subtract two rows of a matrix that have previously been
multiplied by suitable numerical coefficients.

Practical rule
According to Kleiman Ariel-Elena K of Kleiman, (2002) it states that 'this procedure consists of

applying the operations defined for the rows of a matrix in such a way that in the
diagonal of elements a11a12a13.......annthe unit is obtained. These operations give us
they will allow obtaining zeros in the elements that are below the diagonal.
Example:

Find the solution of the following linear system.

x+y+z=2
2x + 5y + 3z = 1
3x – y – 2z = -1

1.-We set up the augmented matrix of the linear system.

2 5 3 1F2- 2F1

2.- We apply the operations defined for the rows of a matrix.

Then we rewrite the proposed linear system

z=3
And from the value of this variable, we can find the value of the other variables.

y+ =1 x-2+3=2

x=2-1
y = -1 -1x = 1

y = -2

Verification

1-2+3=2 (v)
2(1)+5(-2) + 3(3) = 1 (v)
3(1) - (-2) - (2)(3) = -1 (v)

important such as:

Matrix theory was introduced in 1858, it has applications today in


various fields such as inventory control in factories; theory
quantum, in physics; cost analysis in transportation and other industries;
problems of strategies in military operations and data analysis, in
psychology and sociology.

Using matrices, solutions are obtained. systems of equations


linear, it also highlights the importance they have in problem-solving
everyday life problems for which an exact solution is reached
and better results in a certain process.
