Matrix Algebra

SUNY Oswego Matrix Algebra Flash Cards

QuestionAnswer
What are the possible solutions for a system of n equations in m variables? 3 - * Unique Solution * No Solution * Infinetly Many Solutions
What is an example of an unique solution? ax+by=c dx+ey=f
What is an example of no solution? ax+by=c ax+by=d
What is an example of Infinetly Many Solutions? ax+by=c k(ax+by=c)
What is pivoting? Multiplying a row by a number to get rid of a column.
Matrix Notation A matrix is a rectangular array of Real numbers represented as a "nxm matrix" which consists of n rows, each of which contains m entries. Likewise, it consists of m columns each of which has n entries.
What are the three properties of echelon form? 1) All nonzero rows are above any rows of all zeros. 2) Each leading entry of a row is in a column to the right of the leading entry of the row above it. 3) All entries in a column below a leading entry are zeros.
What are the conditions of a rectangular matrix in Reduced Row Echelon Form (RREF) It must meet the 3 properties of echelon form as well as: 4) the leading entry in each nonzero row is 1. 5) Each leading 1 is the only nonzero entry in its column.
Are row operations reversible? If yes how, if no, why not? Yes (i) ri<->rj is "reversed" by rj<->ri (ii) kri->ri is "reversed" by 1/kri->ri (k=0 is not allowed) (iii) kri+rj->rj is "reversed" by -kri+rj-)rj
R.E.F. |#****| |0#***| |00#**| |000#*|
R.R.E.F. |100*0| |010*0| |001*0| |00001|
Theorem 1 Any matrix has 1 and only 1 R.R.E.F.
Theorem 2 Any system of linear equations has a unique solution, has infinetly many solutions or else has no solutions.
Correspondence Theorem The vector b is in the span {a1, a2,...,an} precisely when the linear system with augmented matrix (a1:a2:...:an|b) has a solution. ie: b=&1a1+&2a2+...+&nan precisely when x1=&1, x2=&2,...,xn=&n is a solution to the linear system.
What is the matrix equation: |1 2| |x| |7| |3 4|*|y|=|8| |5 6| |9| x+2y=7 3x+4y=8 5x+6y=9
When is column vector defined? The matrix product Ax where x is an nx1 matrix, column vector is defined only when A is mxn

Use these flashcards to help memorize information. Look at the large card and try to recall what is on the other side. Then click the card to flip it. If you knew the answer, click the green Know box. Otherwise, click the red Don't know box.

When you've placed seven or more cards in the Don't know box, click "retry" to try those cards again.

If you've accidentally put the card in the wrong box, just click on the card to take it out of the box.

You can also use your keyboard to move the cards as follows:

If you are logged in to your account, this website will remember which cards you know and don't know so that they are in the same box the next time you log in.

When you need a break, try one of the other activities listed below the flashcards like Matching, Snowman, or Hungry Bug. Although it may feel like you're playing a game, your brain is still making more connections with the information to help you out.

To see how well you know the information, try the Quiz or Test activity.
