How is a Matrix defined?
Essentially, a matrix is an array of elements. Thos elements can be numbers or expressions or anything else. And its a convenient way to store a lot of information. -
What is the difference between a matrix and a vector?
A vector is a type of matrix but where matrices have multiple rows/columns, a vector only has one. -
What is a scalar multiple?
When you perform scalar multiplication (multiplying a matrix or each element in a matrix by a number), you are essentially creating a whole new matrix. That new matrix is what is referred to as a scalar multiple. -
In summing matrices, does the order of the summation matter?
No, it does not. -
