  1. 0:00in this video we're going to focus on
  2. 0:02matrices
  3. 0:05now what exactly is a matrix
  4. 0:07a matrix is simply an array of numbers
  5. 0:10organized into
  6. 0:11rows and columns
  7. 0:13and first let's talk about the order of
  8. 0:15a matrix
  9. 0:16so consider matrix a
  10. 0:19and let's say
  11. 0:20it has the numbers
  12. 0:222 7
  13. 0:24negative 4 6
  14. 0:273 and 5.
  15. 0:29what is the order of this matrix
  16. 0:35now this matrix has
  17. 0:37two rows
  18. 0:40and three columns
  19. 0:47now the rows are horizontal so this is
  20. 0:49the first row
  21. 0:51and this is the second row
  22. 0:53the columns are vertical
  23. 0:55this is the first column second
  24. 0:58third
  25. 1:00so there's two rows and three columns
  26. 1:03so this is considered
  27. 1:04a two by three matrix
  28. 1:08the order of the matrix
  29. 1:11list the rows first and then the number
  30. 1:13of columns
  31. 1:16now you need to be able to identify a
  32. 1:19specific element
  33. 1:20in a matrix for example
  34. 1:23what is
  35. 1:24element
  36. 1:262 comma 3
  37. 1:28or sometimes it can be written as just
  38. 1:30element a23
  39. 1:33so this is in matrix a
  40. 1:36and
  41. 1:37the first letter represents the row the
  42. 1:40second letter is the column
  43. 1:44so this is the first row this is the
  44. 1:46second row
  45. 1:47this is the first column second column
  46. 1:49third column
  47. 1:51so this element number five is in the
  48. 1:54second row third column
  49. 1:56so element a two three has a value of
  50. 1:58five
  51. 2:02now here's another one for you
  52. 2:04what's element
  53. 2:05a one two
  54. 2:07and also element
  55. 2:09a two one
  56. 2:12go ahead and identify the value of these
  57. 2:13elements
  58. 2:15so element a one two that's in the first
  59. 2:18row second column
  60. 2:20so that has a value of seven element a21
  61. 2:23is in the second row first column
  62. 2:26and so that has a value of six
  63. 2:30let's consider another matrix so let's
  64. 2:32say if we have matrix b
  65. 2:34and it has the numbers
  66. 2:36four three
  67. 2:37seven negative two
  68. 2:40five six negative four
  69. 2:42nine
  70. 2:43negative three
  71. 2:45eight
  72. 2:46one
  73. 2:47and negative seven
  74. 2:49what is the order of the matrix
  75. 2:53so let's start with the rows this is row
  76. 2:55one
  77. 2:56row two row three
  78. 2:58and then the columns column one
  79. 3:00two
  80. 3:01three four
  81. 3:04so the order of matrix b
  82. 3:06it's a three
  83. 3:09by four matrix
  84. 3:11it has three rows and four columns
  85. 3:18now identify
  86. 3:20elements
  87. 3:22b11
  88. 3:26b
  89. 3:282 3
  90. 3:31b14
  91. 3:34and b
  92. 3:37three four go ahead and identify these
  93. 3:40four elements
  94. 3:42so this one is in the first row first
  95. 3:44column
  96. 3:45so that has a value of four
  97. 3:47element b two three
  98. 3:50that is in the second row
  99. 3:53third column
  100. 3:55so that has a value of negative four
  101. 3:59and then element b14 is in the first row
  102. 4:03fourth column
  103. 4:05so that's equal to negative two
  104. 4:08and element b34 is in the third row
  105. 4:11fourth column
  106. 4:12so it has a value of negative seven
  107. 4:15so you need to be able to determine
  108. 4:18the order of the matrix
  109. 4:20and the value of every or any element in
  110. 4:23the matrix
  111. 4:25so what i'm going to do at this point is
  112. 4:26i'm going to give you a list of matrices
  113. 4:28and i want you to identify the order of
  114. 4:31each matrix
  115. 4:33so let's say if we have matrix c
  116. 4:35and it has the numbers 3
  117. 4:37negative 5
  118. 4:382
  119. 4:39negative 1
  120. 4:41and then we have matrix d
  121. 4:44which contains the elements
  122. 4:46four
  123. 4:48five
  124. 4:49negative two
  125. 4:50seven
  126. 4:51three and negative
  127. 4:54six then we have matrix e
  128. 4:57which contains one number which is eight
  129. 5:01matrix f
  130. 5:03it's going to have seven
  131. 5:05four
  132. 5:07negative five
  133. 5:08and
  134. 5:1011.
  135. 5:13and let's say
  136. 5:15matrix g
  137. 5:19has the numbers 3 1 7
  138. 5:222 six negative four
  139. 5:25nine zero three
  140. 5:29so identify
  141. 5:30the order
  142. 5:32of each matrix
  143. 5:35go ahead and try that
  144. 5:37let me just give you one more matrix h
  145. 5:42which is going to be 2 1
  146. 5:447
  147. 5:45negative 3
  148. 5:466 negative 2 5
  149. 5:48and 4.
  150. 5:51and also determine which of these
  151. 5:52matrices
  152. 5:54represents a square matrix
  153. 5:56so let's start with matrix c
  154. 6:00it has two rows and it has two columns
  155. 6:03so therefore
  156. 6:05it's a 2 by 2 matrix
  157. 6:09now
  158. 6:10this is a square matrix because
  159. 6:12the number of rows and columns are the
  160. 6:14same
  161. 6:16in the square all sides are the same
  162. 6:19now for matrix d
  163. 6:21we have three rows
  164. 6:23and two columns
  165. 6:26so this is going to be considered a
  166. 6:29three by two
  167. 6:30matrix
  168. 6:34so the order of the matrix is always
  169. 6:35going to be
  170. 6:36the number of rows times the number of
  171. 6:38columns
  172. 6:41now for matrix e it has one row
  173. 6:45and one column
  174. 6:47so because it only has one number it's a
  175. 6:49one by one
  176. 6:51matrix
  177. 6:53now for h
  178. 6:55there are two rows
  179. 6:58and there's
  180. 7:00four columns
  181. 7:02so this is a two by four
  182. 7:05matrix
  183. 7:08and then for f
  184. 7:09we have one row
  185. 7:11and
  186. 7:13there's four columns so that's a one by
  187. 7:14four matrix
  188. 7:17and finally the last one g that's
  189. 7:19another square matrix
  190. 7:21as we can see there's three rows
  191. 7:23and it has three columns
  192. 7:26so that's a three by three
  193. 7:28matrix so now you know how to determine
  194. 7:31the order of the matrix and you also
  195. 7:33know how to
  196. 7:34identify the elements within a matrix
  197. 7:38now let's focus on adding
  198. 7:40matrices
  199. 7:42so let's say if we have matrix a
  200. 7:44and it has the numbers 2 3
  201. 7:475 negative 4
  202. 7:49and we have matrix b
  203. 7:52which is uh
  204. 7:537
  205. 7:554
  206. 7:56negative 3 and
  207. 7:595.
  208. 8:00what is the sum
  209. 8:02of matrix a and b
  210. 8:05so if we add in those two matrices
  211. 8:08all we need to do
  212. 8:10is
  213. 8:11add the corresponding elements
  214. 8:13and by the way
  215. 8:14if you have a two by two matrix
  216. 8:17you can only add it to another two by
  217. 8:19two matrix
  218. 8:20the number of rows and columns must be
  219. 8:22the same when adding matrices or
  220. 8:24subtract the matrices as well
  221. 8:27so the first element
  222. 8:29the one in the first row first column
  223. 8:32we need to add it
  224. 8:33with uh
  225. 8:34element b11 in the first row in the
  226. 8:36first column they have to match
  227. 8:39so this is going to be 2 plus 7
  228. 8:42and then we need to add
  229. 8:44these two
  230. 8:46so in the first row second column is
  231. 8:48going to be 3 plus 4
  232. 8:50and then we're going to add those two
  233. 8:51numbers
  234. 8:54so that's going to be five
  235. 8:56plus negative three
  236. 8:59and these two numbers which are in the
  237. 9:00second row second column
  238. 9:02the result will remain in that position
  239. 9:05second row second column
  240. 9:08now two plus seven
  241. 9:10is nine
  242. 9:11three plus four
  243. 9:13is seven
  244. 9:14five plus negative three is two
  245. 9:17negative four plus five is one
  246. 9:20so this is the sum of matrix a and b
  247. 9:24and that's a simple way to add two
  248. 9:26matrices together
  249. 9:27it's not very complicated
  250. 9:34now let's say if you want to multiply
  251. 9:37matrix a by four
  252. 9:39what will you get
  253. 9:41four times a all you need to do is
  254. 9:43multiply every element by four
  255. 9:46so it's going to be four times two
  256. 9:48four times three
  257. 9:51four times five
  258. 9:53and four times negative four
  259. 9:57so then 4a
  260. 9:58is going to equal
  261. 10:018
  262. 10:0212
  263. 10:0320
  264. 10:04and negative 16.
  265. 10:11so what about subtracting two matrices
  266. 10:14let's subtract matrix a and b
  267. 10:18so we're going to start with a and then
  268. 10:20subtract it by b so it's going to be 2
  269. 10:21minus 7
  270. 10:233 minus 4
  271. 10:255 minus
  272. 10:26negative 3
  273. 10:28and then negative 4 minus 5.
  274. 10:32so a minus b that's going to be two
  275. 10:34minus seven which is negative five
  276. 10:36three minus four is negative one
  277. 10:39five minus negative three or five plus
  278. 10:41three that's eight
  279. 10:42negative four minus five is negative
  280. 10:44nine
  281. 10:46and so that's the difference
  282. 10:47between
  283. 10:48the two matrices
  284. 10:51and that's it for this video if you want
  285. 10:53to find more videos on pre-cal
