Assume X,Y,Z,W and P are matrices of order 2 x n, 3 x k, 2 x p, n x 3, and p x k respectively. If n = p, then the order of the matrix 7X-5Zis
Assume X,Y,Z,W and P are matrices of order 2 x n, 3 x k, 2 x p, n x 3, and p x k respectively. If n = p, then the order of the matrix 7X-5Zis
Solution and Explanation
Matrix X is of the order 2 × n.
Therefore, matrix 7X is also of the same order.
Matrix Z is of the order 2 × p, i.e., 2 × n [Since n = p]
Therefore, matrix 5Z is also of the same order.
Now, both the matrices 7X and 5Z are of the order 2 × n.
Thus, matrix 7X − 5Z is well-defined and is of the order 2 × n.
Top Questions on Matrices
An amount of ₹ 10,000 is put into three investments at the rate of 10%, 12% and 15% per annum. The combined annual income of all three investments is ₹ 1,310, however, the combined annual income of the first and second investments is ₹ 190 short of the income from the third. Use matrix method and find the investment amount in each at the beginning of the year.
If \[ A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 0 \\ -2 & -1 & -2 \\ 0 & -1 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \] then find \( A^{-1} \). Hence, solve the system of linear equations: \[ x - 2y = 10, \] \[ 2x - y - z = 8, \] \[ -2y + z = 7. \]
