So, continuing, the matrix C = AB can have rows and 3 columns, simply because A has rows and B has 3 columns. the 1st portion of the matrix is located through multiplying the 1st row of A by way of the 1st column of B. To illustrate the method, we exhibit in simple terms the row and column of matrix A and B that are all in favour of every one calculation. we have now three AB = four zero −1 −1 = (4)(3) + (0)(−1) + (−1)(4) four = eight bankruptcy 2 Matrix Algebra 39 subsequent, to discover the aspect at row 1, column 2, we multiply the 1st row of A via the second one column of B: 2 AB = four zero −1 1 = eight (4) (2) + (0) (1) + (−1) (−1) −1 = eight nine to discover the point that belongs within the first row and 3rd column of C, we multiply the 1st row of A by way of the 3rd column of B: −1 AB = four zero −1 −2 = eight nine (4) (−1) + (0) (−2) + (−1) (0) zero = eight nine −4 To fill within the moment row of matrix C, we continue as we did above yet this time we use the second one row of A to accomplish each one multiplication. the 1st point of the second one row of C is located by way of multiplying the second one row of A by means of the 1st column of B: three AB = 1 2 three −1 = eight nine −4 (1) (3) + (2) (−1) + (3) (4) four = eight nine −4 thirteen The aspect located on the moment row and moment column of C is located via multiplying the second one row of A via the second one column of B: 2 AB = 1 2 three 1 = eight nine −4 − thirteen (1) (2) + (2) (1) + (3) (−1) 1 = eight nine −4 thirteen 1 forty bankruptcy 2 Matrix Algebra ultimately, to compute the point on the moment row and 3rd column of C, we multiply the second one row of A by means of the 3rd column of B: −1 eight nine −4 AB = 1 2 three −2 = zero thirteen 1 (1) (−1) + (2) (−2) + (3) (0) = eight nine −4 thirteen 1 −5 In precis, we now have came upon three 2 −1 C = AB = four zero −1 −1 −1 −2 = eight nine −4 1 2 three thirteen 1 −5 four 1 zero sq. Matrices A sq. matrix is a matrix that has a similar variety of rows and columns. We denote an n × n sq. matrix as a matrix of order n. whereas within the earlier examination- ple we chanced on that shall we compute AB however it was once impossible to compute BA, in many circumstances we paintings with sq. matrices the place it truly is regularly attainable to compute either multiplications. despite the fact that, observe that those items is probably not equivalent. COMMUTING MATRICES permit A = aij and B = bij be sq. n × n matrices. we are saying that the matrices trip if AB = BA If AB = BA, we are saying that the matrices don't go back and forth. THE COMMUTATOR The commutator of 2 matrices A and B is denoted through [ A, B] and is computed utilizing [ A, B] = AB − BA The commutator of 2 matrices is a matrix. bankruptcy 2 Matrix Algebra forty-one instance 2-5 think of the subsequent matrices: A = 2 −1 , B = 1 −4 four three four −1 Do those matrices trip? answer 2-5 First we compute the matrix product AB: 2 −1 1 −4 (2) (1) + (−1) (4) (2) (−4) + (−1) (−1) AB = = four three four −1 (4) (1) + (3) (4) (4) (−4) + (3) (−1) −2 −7 = sixteen −19 have in mind, the point on the i th row and j th column of the matrix shaped via the product is calculated by way of multiplying the i th row of A by way of the j th column of B.
