3. (i) If \(\begin{bmatrix} 10 & x\\ -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} 10 & 1\\ -5 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\), Find the value of x.
(ii) If \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & a + b\\ -4 & 3\\ a - b & 2 \end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & -2\\ -4 & 3\\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\), find a and b.
(iii) If \(\begin{bmatrix} 2x + y & 1\\ 3 & x – 3y \end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1\\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\), Find the value of x and y.
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 = -\(\frac{3}{7}\).
