2. 4 Matrices A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers. A matrix with m rows and n columns has size m x n. The entry in the ith row and jth column is denoted by aij. Ex. 3 Rows 4 Columns Size = Row x Column =3 x 4 Copyright © 2006 Brooks/Cole, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

Square matrix – same number of rows as columns. Ex. Here is a 2 x 2 matrix: Two matrices are equal if they have the same size and their corresponding entries are equal. Ex. Find x and y. Copyright © 2006 Brooks/Cole, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

Addition and Subtraction of Matrices If A and B are two matrices of the same size, then 1. The sum A + B is found by adding corresponding entries in the two matrices. 2. The difference A – B is found by subtracting the corresponding entries in B and A. Also, we have the Commutative law: A + B = B + A and Associative law (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) for addition. A zero matrix is one in which all entries are zero. The zero Matrix O has the property that A+O=O+A=A Copyright © 2006 Brooks/Cole, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

Transpose of a Matrix – If A is an m x n matrix with elements aij, then the transpose of A is the n x m matrix AT with elements aji. Example. 1 4 2 5 3 6 7 8 9 Copyright © 2006 Brooks/Cole, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

Scalar Product – If A is a matrix and c is a real number, then the scalar product c. A is the matrix obtained by multiplying each entry of A by c. Example. Given the matrix find 5 A. Copyright © 2006 Brooks/Cole, a division of Thomson Learning, Inc.

The market share of motorcycles in the United States in 2001 follows: Honda 27. 9%, Harley-Davidson 21. 9%, Yamaha 19. 2%, Suzuki 11%, Kawasaki 9. 1%, and others 10. 9%. The corresponding figures for 2002 are 27. 6%, 23. 3%, 18. 2%, 10. 5%, 8. 8%, and 11. 6%, respectively. Express this information using a 2 x 6 matrix. What is the sum of all the elements in the first row? In the second row? Is this expected? Which company gained the most market share between 2001 and 2002?
