Addition of matrices:
Two matrices can be added only when they are of the same order
If two matrices of A and B of the same order, they are said to be conformable for addition.
If A and B are matrices of order m × n, then their sum will also be a matrix of the same order and in addition, corresponding elements of A and B get added.
So if for all i, j
eg
Subtraction of matrices:
Two matrices can be subtracted only when they are of the same order. If A and B are matrices of order m × n then their difference will also be a matrix of the same order and in subtraction, corresponding elements of A and B get subtracted. So if
for all i, j
eg
Properties of matrix addition:
1. Matrix addition is commutative, A + B = B + A
2. Matrix addition is associative, A + (B+C) = (A+B) + C
3. Additive identity exist, means there exist a matrix O (null matrix) such that A + O = A = O + A (Here O has same order as A)
4. Existence of additive inverse means there exists a matrix B such that A + B = O = B + A
5. Cancellation property:
If A + B = A + C then B = C
If A + C = B + C then A = B
Note: all matrix taken in above property explanation has same order which is m × n.
Scalar multiplication:
Let k be any scalar number, and be a matrix. Then the matrix obtained by multiplying every element A by a scalar k and denoted as kA.
Example, if
Properties of scalar multiplication:
If A and B are two matrices and k, l are scalar then
i) k(A + B)=kA + kB
ii) kl(A) = k(lA) = l(kA)
iii) (k+l)A = kA + lA
iv) (-k) A = -(kA) = k(-A)
v) 1A = A, (-1)A = -A
Note: A and B have the same order m × n.
