To multiply a matrix by a single number is easy: These are the calculations: 2×4=8. 2×0=0. 2×1=2. 2×-9=-18. We call the number ("2" in this case) a scalar, so this is called "scalar multiplication".
Multiply by a Constant. We can multiply a matrix by a constant (the value 2 in this case): These are the calculations: 2×4=8. 2×0=0. 2×1=2. 2×−9=−18. We call the constant a scalar, so officially this is called "scalar multiplication".
Enter your matrix in the cells below "A" or "B". Or you can type in the big output area and press "to A" or "to B" (the calculator will try its best to interpret your data).
Inverse of a Matrix. We write A-1 instead of 1 A because we don't divide by a matrix! And there are other similarities: When we multiply a number by its reciprocal we get 1: 8 × 1 8 = 1. When we multiply a matrix by its inverse we get the Identity Matrix (which is like "1" for matrices): A × A -1 = I.
It means that we can find the X matrix (the values of x, y and z) by multiplying the inverse of the A matrix by the B matrix. So let's go ahead and do that. First, we need to find the inverse of the A matrix (assuming it exists!)
We can calculate the Dot Product of two vectors this way: a · b = | a | × | b | × cos (θ) Where: | a | is the magnitude (length) of vector a. | b | is the magnitude (length) of vector b. θ is the angle between a and b.
You will learn about Numbers, Polynomials, Inequalities, Sequences and Sums, many types of Functions, and how to solve them. You will also gain a deeper insight into Mathematics, get to practice using your new skills with lots of examples and questions, and generally improve your mind.
Transformations and Matrices. A matrix can do geometric transformations! Have a play with this 2D transformation app: Matrices can also do 3D transformations, transform from 3D to 2D (very useful for computer graphics), and much much more.
For a 2×2 matrix the determinant is ad - bc; For a 3×3 matrix multiply a by the determinant of the 2×2 matrix that is not in a's row or column, likewise for b and c, but remember that b has a negative sign!
