Matrices – Level 1 Practice Pack
(Starter)
📌 Instructions:
- Use a notebook to solve each question step by step.
- Focus on multiplying rows and columns properly.
- Don't jump to final answer, write every multiplication.
- After solving, check pattern or logic in each.
1. Find A² if A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
2. Multiply matrices A = [[1, 0], [0, 1]] and B = [[5, 6], [7, 8]]
3. If A = [[2, -1], [1, 3]], find A × A
4. Find AB where A = [[2, 3], [0, 1]] and B = [[1, 2], [4, 0]]
5. Is matrix multiplication commutative? Try with A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]] and B = [[0, 1],
[1, 0]]
6. For A = [[5, 0], [0, 5]], find A² and explain the result.
7. Compute A³ where A = [[1, 1], [0, 1]]
8. If A = [[1, 2], [2, 1]], verify if A × A = A² is symmetric.
9. Let A = [[0, 1], [-1, 0]], find A². What do you observe?
10. If A = [[a, b], [c, d]], write the general formula for A².
