Let $A=\begin{pmatrix}
1&-1 &1 \\[0.3em]
2 &1 &-3 \\[0.3em]
1 &1&1 \end{pmatrix}$ and $\,10\,B=\begin{pmatrix}
4&2 &2 \\[0.3em]

1 &-2&3 \end{pmatrix} $. If B is the inverse of A , then $\alpha$ is
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
The basic operations that can be performed on matrices are:
Addition of Matrices - The addition of matrices addition can only be possible if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
Subtraction of Matrices - Matrices subtraction is also possible only if the number of rows and columns of both the matrices are the same.
Scalar Multiplication - The product of a matrix A with any number 'c' is obtained by multiplying every entry of the matrix A by c, is called scalar multiplication.
Multiplication of Matrices - Matrices multiplication is defined only if the number of columns in the first matrix and rows in the second matrix are equal.
Transpose of Matrices - Interchanging of rows and columns is known as the transpose of matrices.
