Subjective

In the matrix $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a & 1 & x \\ 2 & \sqrt{3} & x^2-y \\ 0 & 5 & \frac{-2}{5}\end{array}\right]$, write

(i) the order of the matrix $A$.

(ii) the number of elements.

(iii) elements $a_{23}, a_{31}$ and $a_{12}$.

Explanation

We have, $A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a & 1 & x \\ 2 & \sqrt{3} & x^2-y \\ 0 & 5 & \frac{-2}{5}\end{array}\right]$

(i) the order of matrix $A=3 \times 3$

(ii) the number of elements $=3 \times 3=9$ [since, the number of elements in an $m \times n$ matrix will be equal to $m \times n=m n$ ]

(iii) $a_{23}=x^2-y, a_{31}=0, a_{12}=1$ [since, we know that $a_{i j}$, is a representation of element lying in the $i$ th row and $j$th column]

Subjective

Construct $a_{2 \times 2}$ matrix, where

(i) $a_{i j}=\frac{(i-2 j)^2}{2}\quad$ (ii) $a_{i j}=|-2 i+3 j|$

Explanation

We know that, the notation, namely $A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{m \times n}$ indicates that $A$ is a matrix of order $m \times n$, also $1 \leq i \leq m, 1 \leq j \leq n ; i, j \in N$.

(i) Here, $A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{2 \times 2}$

$$\Rightarrow \quad A=\frac{(i-2 j)^2}{2}, 1 \leq i \leq 2 ; 1 \leq j \leq 2\quad\text{..... (i)}$$

$$\begin{aligned} \therefore\quad& a_{11}=\frac{(1-2)^2}{2}=\frac{1}{2} \\ & a_{12}=\frac{(1-2 \times 2)^2}{2}=\frac{9}{2} \\ & a_{21}=\frac{(2-2 \times 1)^2}{2}=0 \\ & a_{22}=\frac{(2-2 \times 2)^2}{2}=2 \\ \text{Thus,}\quad & A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} \frac{1}{2} & \frac{9}{2} \\ 0 & 2 \end{array}\right]_{2 \times 2} \end{aligned}$$

(ii) Here, $A=\left[a_{\mathrm{ij}}\right]_{2 \times 2}=|-2 i+3 j|, 1 \leq i \leq 2 ; 1 \leq j \leq 2$

$$\begin{aligned} \therefore\quad a_{11} & =|-2 \times 1+3 \times 1|=1 \\ a_{12} & =|-2 \times 1+3 \times 2|=4 \quad[\because|-1|=1]\\ a_{21} & =|-2 \times 2+3 \times 1|=1 \\ a_{22} & =|-2 \times 2+3 \times 2|=2 \\ \therefore\quad A & =\left|\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 4 \\ 1 & 2 \end{array}\right|_{2 \times 2} \end{aligned}$$

Subjective

Construct a $3 \times 2$ matrix whose elements are given by $a_{i j}=e^{i \cdot x}=\sin j x$.

Explanation

$$\begin{aligned} & \text { Since, } A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{m \times n} \quad 1 \leq i \leq m \text { and } 1 \leq j \leq n, i, j \in N \\ & \therefore \quad A=\left[e^{i \cdot x} \sin j x\right]_{3 \times 2} ; 1 \leq i \leq 3 ; 1 \leq j \leq 2 \\ & \Rightarrow \quad a_{11}=e^{1 \cdot x} \cdot \sin 1 \cdot x=e^x \sin x \\ & a_{12}=e^{1 \cdot x} \cdot \sin 2 \cdot x=e^x \sin 2 x \\ & a_{21}=e^{2 \cdot x} \cdot \sin 1 \cdot x=e^{2 x} \sin x \\ & a_{22}=e^{2 \cdot x} \cdot \sin 2 \cdot x=e^{2 x} \sin 2 x \\ & a_{31}=e^{3 \cdot x} \cdot \sin 1 \cdot x=e^{3 x} \sin x \\ & a_{32}=e^{3 \cdot x} \cdot \sin 2 \cdot x=e^{3 x} \sin 2 x \\ \therefore\quad& A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} e^x \sin x & e^x \sin 2 x \\ e^{2 x} \sin x & e^{2 x} \sin 2 x \\ e^{3 x} \sin x & e^{3 x} \sin 2 x \end{array}\right]_{3 \times 2} \end{aligned}$$

Subjective

Find the values of $a$ and $b$, if $A=B$, where $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{cc} a+4 & 3 b \\ 8 & -6 \end{array}\right] \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2 a+2 & b^2+2 \\ 8 & b^2-5 b \end{array}\right]$$

Explanation

We have, $$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc} a+4 & 3 b \\ 8 & -6 \end{array}\right]_{2 \times 2} \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2 a+2 & b^2+2 \\ 8 & b^2-5 b \end{array}\right]_{2 \times 2}$$

Also, $$A=B$$

By equality of matrices we know that each element of $A$ is equal to the corresponding element of $B$, that is $a_{i j}=b_{i j}$ for all $i$ and $j$. $$ \begin{array}{lll} \therefore & a_{11}=b_{11} \Rightarrow a+4=2 a+2 \Rightarrow a=2 & \\ & a_{12}=b_{12} \Rightarrow 3 b=b^2+2 \Rightarrow b^2=3 b-2 & \\ \text { and } & a_{22}=b_{22} \Rightarrow-6=b^2-5 b & \\ \Rightarrow & -6=3 b-2-5 b \quad \left[\because b^2=3 b-2\right]\\ \Rightarrow & 2 b=4 \Rightarrow b=2 & \\ \therefore & a =2 \text { and } b=2 \end{array}$$

Subjective

If possible, find the sum of the matrices $A$ and $B$, where $A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}\sqrt{3} & 1 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right]$ and $B=\left[\begin{array}{lll}x & y & z \\ a & b & c\end{array}\right]$.

Explanation

We have, $$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc} \sqrt{3} & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \end{array}\right]_{2 \times 2} \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{lll} x & y & z \\ a & b & 6 \end{array}\right]_{2 \times 3}$$

Here, $A$ and $B$ are of different orders. Also, we know that the addition of two matrices $A$ and $B$ is possible only if order of both the matrices $A$ and $B$ should be same. Hence, the sum of matrices $A$ and $B$ is not possible.
