To add matrices, you add corresponding entries of the two matrices. You take the first row, first column entry of the one matrix, and add this to the first row, first column entry of the other matrix. This creates the first row, first column entry in the new matrix.
As long as the dimensions of two matrices are the same, we can add and subtract them much like we add and subtract numbers.
We can only add or subtract matrices if their dimensions are the same. To add matrices, we simply add the corresponding matrix elements together. To subtract matrices, we simply subtract the corresponding matrix elements together. Not only can we add and subtract matrices, but we can solve matrix equations as well.
Consider two matrices A & B. These matrices can be added if (if and only if) the order of the matrices are equal, i.e. the two matrices have the same number of rows and columns. For example, say matrix A is of the order 3 × 4, then the matrix B can be added to matrix A if the order of B is also 3 × 4.
Notice here how a 3×2 matrix is NOT the same as a 2×2 matrix. These two matrices CANNOT be added or subtracted.
So you can only add matrices that have the same size. Note that "the same size" does *not* mean "the same number of entries". You can't take a two-row, three-column matrix and add it to a three-row, two-column matrix.
What is Singular Matrix? A square matrix (m = n) that is not invertible is called singular or degenerate. A square matrix is singular if and only if its determinant is 0.
One-to-one is the same as onto for square matrices
Conversely, by this note and this note, if a matrix transformation T : R m → R n is both one-to-one and onto, then m = n . Note that in general, a transformation T is both one-to-one and onto if and only if T ( x )= b has exactly one solution for all b in R m .
Note a few things: generally, "onto" and "one-to-one" are independent of one another. You can have a matrix be onto but not one-to-one; or be one-to-one but not onto; or be both; or be neither.
Concatenating Matrices
You can also use square brackets to append existing matrices. This way of creating a matrix is called concatenation. For example, concatenate two row vectors to make an even longer row vector. To arrange A and B as two rows of a matrix, use the semicolon.
Rule #1: Same Dimensions
In order for two matrices to be added or subtracted, they need to have the same dimensions. So for example, you can only add 3x3 matrices to 3x3 matrices. These matrices have the same dimensions.
If A is a 3 × 2 matrix, then the transformation x ↦ Ax cannot be one-to-one.
A matrix with only one row or one colum is called a vector.
A function f : A → B is one-to-one if for each b ∈ B there is at most one a ∈ A with f(a) = b. It is onto if for each b ∈ B there is at least one a ∈ A with f(a) = b.
A matrix can be singular, only if it has a determinant of zero. A matrix with a non-zero determinant certainly means a non-singular matrix. In case the matrix has an inverse, then the matrix multiplied by its inverse will give you the identity matrix.
A singular matrix has the property that for some value of the vector b , the system LS(A,b) L S ( A , b ) does not have a unique solution (which means that it has no solution or infinitely many solutions).
A square matrix whose determinant is zero is an example of a singular matrix. This could be a 2x2 matrix with entries a, b, c, d, where a=2, b = 8, c=1, and d=4.
A matrix can only be added to (or subtracted from) another matrix if the two matrices have the same dimensions .
The below matrix is an example of a [3x2] matrix. Matrices are described in the form [RxC] where R represents the number of matrix rows and C represents the number of matrix columns. The above matrix is a [3x2] because it has 3 rows and 2 columns.
2.2 Triangle's rule
The product of diagonal elements and product of elements in the both vertex of two triangles of the first determinant get the “+” sign and the product of diagonal elements and product of elements in the both vertex of two triangles of the second determinant get the “-” sign.
