Answers for the Worksheet on Understanding Matrix are given below.


Answers

 

1. (i) The order of the matrix A is 3 × 2.

(ii) (2, 1)th element = -5;

     (1, 2)th element = 13;

     (3, 2)th element = 4.

(iii) The matrix A has 3 rows and 2 columns. The number of rows ≠ the number of columns. Therefore the matrix A is rectangular matrix.

 

2. (i) The possible orders of the matrix are: 1 × 4; 4 × 1 and 2 × 2.

(ii) The possible orders of the matrix are: 11 × 1 and 1 × 11.

(iii) The number of elements in the matrix = 3 × 2 = 6.

 

3. (i) The value of x = 1

(ii)  The value of a = -½ and b = -\(\frac{3}{2}\)

(iii) The value of x = \(\frac{5}{7}\) and y = -\(\frac{3}{7}\).
