MATRICES AND
DETERMINANTS
1
INTRODUCTION
Matrix is a powerful toll in modern mathematics having wide
applications . Sociologists use matrices to study the dominance within a group .
Demographers use matrices in the study of birth and survivals , marriage and descent ,
class structure and mobility , etc. . Matrices are all the more useful for practical business
purpose and , therefore , occupy an important place in Business Mathematics . Obviously
, because business problems can be presented more easily in distinct finite number of
gradation than in infinite gradation as we have in calculus . Economists now , use
matrices very extensively in ‘ social accounting ‘ , ‘ input – output table ‘ and in the
study of ‘ inter – industry economics ‘ .

MATRICES
 A matrices is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and column and are enclosed by
a pair of bracket and is subjected to certain rules of presentation.
 A matrix is usually denoted by a capital letter and its elements by corresponding small letters
followed by two suffices.

TYPES OF MATRICES
o Square matrix
o Rectangular matrix
o Row matrix
o Column matrix
o Diagonal matrix
o Scalar matrix
o Null matrix
o Unit matrix or Identity matrix
o Sub matrix
o Triangular matrix
i. Upper triangular matrix
ii. Lower triangular matrix
o Transpose of a matrix
o Symmetric matrix
o Skew symmetric matrix
o Idempotent matrix
o Order of a matrix
o Trace of a matrix 4
MATRIX OPERATIONS
Addition and subtraction of matrices
o Two matrices A and B are said to be conformable for addition or subtraction if they are of the
same order.
o Two matrices of different orders cannot be added or subtracted.
Properties of addition
o Commutative law
o A + B = B = A
o Associative law
o A + ( B + C ) = ( A + B ) + C
o Distributive law
o k ( A + B ) = kA + kb
o Additive identity
o A + 0 = A = 0 + A
o Existence of inverse
o A + ( - A ) = 0 = ( - A ) + A
o Cancellation law
o A + C = B + C
o => A = B 5
MULTIPLICATION OF MATRICES
Multiplication of two matrices
 Two matrices A and B are said to be conformable for product AB , if they are of the same
order.
PQ =
PQ =
Multiplication of a matrix by a scalar
 If ‘ k ’ be a scalar and A be a matrix , then the matrix obtained by multiplying every elements
of A by k is said to be the scalar multiplication of A by k.
It is denoted by kA

PROPERTIES OF MULTIPLICATION
 Distributive with respect to addition
A ( B + C ) = AB + BC
 Associative , if conformability is assured
( AB ) C = A ( BC )
 Commutative law
AB =/= BA
 Multiplication by a unit matrix ( I )
A x I = A = I x A
 Multiplication of a matrix by itself
If A is a square matrix and in that case A x A will also be a square matrix of the same order.
 If A is n x m matrix and 0 is m x n then ,
A x 0 = 0 = 0 x A .
 If AB = 0 ( null matrix ) , it is not necessary that A = 0 , or B = 0 or both A and B are zero.
 If AB = AC , where A =/= 0 does not necessarily implies B = C.

DETERMINANTS
o A Determinant is a compact form showing a set of numbers arranged in rows and
columns , the number of rows and the number of columns being equal . The numbers in a
determinant are known as the element of the determinants.
A determinant is denoted by A or A or A
Order of determinants
oIt is the number of rows and columns of the determinants.
Determinant of order 1
oLet A = a11 then A = a11
Determinant of order 2
oLet A = then A = a11a22 – a12a21
a11 a12
a21 a22

Minor of a matrix
o The minor of a element aij is the a determinant of a residual matrix obtained by deleting the ‘i’th
row and ‘j’th
column . The minor of an element is denoted by Mij.
Co – factor of a matrix
o Co – factor of an element aij is defined by aij = ( -1 ) i+j x Mij .
Determinant of order 3

CONCLUSION
Matrix algebra provide a system of operation on well ordered set of numbers .
The common operations are addition , multiplication , inversion , transpose , etc . A most
significant contribution of matrix algebra is its extensive use in the solution of a system
of large number of simultaneous linear equations . The widely used ‘Linear Programming
‘ has its basic in matrix algebra . It is on this account , matrix algebra is defined at times
as linear algebra .
In the study of communication theory and in electrical engineering the ‘ net work
analysis ‘ is greatly aided by the use of matrix representation.
