Matrices
1. Transposing Matrices
[ a11 a12 a13 ¿ ] ¿
¿¿
A= ¿ 2 x 3 matrix
Then
a 11 a21
T
A =
[ ]
a ¿ 12 a 22
a ¿ 13 a 23
3 x 2 matrix
The transpose of a matrix replaces rows by columns.
0 4
A=
[ 0 10 5 ¿] ¿ ¿¿
¿ then A = T
[ ]
10 0
5 6
2. Determinant of a Matrix
a11 a12 a b
If A =
[ a21 a22
=
c d ][ ]
Now we can find the determinant.
Multiply elements in any one row or any one column by corresponding co-factors, and sum…..
|A| = ad – bc
3. MATRIX INVERSION
Square matrix: numbers of rows = numbers of columns
Identity Matrix I: AI = A and IA = A
1 0
I=
[ ]
0 1 (for 2 X 2 matrix)
Inverse Matrix A-1: A.A-1= I A-1.A= I

TO INVERT 2 X 2 MATRIX
a b
If A =
[ ]
c d
d −c
1) Get Cofactor Matrix:
[ −b a ]
d −b
2) Transpose Cofactor Matrix:
[ −c a ] . (It also called by matrix adjacent)
1 1 d −b
3) multiply matrix by
|A| so
ad−bc −c a [ ]
(i.e. divide each element by ad– bc)
If |A| = 0 then there is no inverse (matrix is singular)
Example :
1. Find the inverse of matrix A
1 2
A=
[ ]
3 4
|A| = ad–bc = (1.4) – (2.3) = –2 (non-singular)
−2 1
A –1 =
−
1 4 −2
[
2 −3 1 ] [ =
3
2
1
−2 ]
1 0
Check : A.A-1 = I =
[0 1 ]
2. Find the inverse of matrix B !
2 4
B=
[ ]
5 10
|B| = ad – bc = (2.10) – (4.5) = 0
Therefore, matrix is singular and inverse does not exist.
