INTRODUCTION
Matrices are very powerful tools not only in the field of Maths but also in Economics, Computers, and
Cryptography etc. In computer based programming, these matrices play a vital role in the projection of
three-dimensional image into a two-dimensional screen, creating the realistic motion pictures. Matrices
and their inverse matrices are used by a programmer for coding or encrypting a message. A message
consists of a sequence of numbers in a binary format that is used for the communication. The process
of coding and decoding requires coding theory that involves solving the linear equations. These
equations are solved with the help of matrices. With these encryptions only, the internet is functioning
and even financial institutions are able to transmit sensitive and private data securely.
IMPORTANT TERMS, DEFINITIONS & RESULTS
01. Matrix - a basic introduction :
Def. A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers (real or complex) or functions which are
known as elements or the entries of the matrix.
A matrix is denoted by the upper case letters i.e. A, B, C etc.
The array is enclosed by brackets   , the parentheses   and the double vertical bars .

Here in the matrix A depicted above, the horizontal lines of elements are said to constitute rows of the
matrix A and vertical lines of elements are said to constitute columns of the matrix A .
Thus matrix A has m rows and n columns. Note that, m, n  N (set of natural numbers).

 A matrix having m rows and n columns is called a matrix of order m  n (read as ‘m by n’


matrix). And a matrix A of order m  n is depicted as A   aij  ; i, j  N .
mn
 Also in general, aij means an element lying in the i th row and j th column.
 No. of elements in the matrix A   aij  is given as ( m)( n) .

02. Types of Matrices :


a) Column matrix : b) Row matrix :
A matrix having only one column is called a column A matrix having only one row is called a row
matrix or column vector. matrix or row vector.

constitute the principal diagonal or simply the diagonal of the square matrix A. These elements
are known as diagonal elements of matrix A.
 The secondary diagonal of a square matrix is the diagonal that runs from the lower left corner to
the upper right corner. It's also known as the minor-diagonal, counter-diagonal, or anti-diagonal.

 0 5 3   0 5 0   4 5 7   0 0 3   0 0 5 

03. Equality of matrices :


Two matrices A and B are said to be equal and written as A = B, if they are of the same orders and
their corresponding elements are identical i.e. a ij  bij for all i and j.
That is a11  b11 , a 22  b 22 , a 23  b 23 , a 32  b32 , a 33  b33 etc.
04. Addition of matrices :
If A and B are two m  n matrices, then another m  n matrix obtained by adding the corresponding
elements of the matrices A and B is called the sum of the matrices A and B and is denoted by ‘ A  B ’.
Thus if A  [a ij ], B  [bij ]  A  B  [a ij  bij ] .

 Properties of matrix addition :


(a) Commutative property : A  B  B  A
(b) Associative property : A  (B  C)  (A  B)  C
(c) Cancellation laws : (i) Left cancellation - A  B  A  C BC
(ii) Right cancellation - B  A  C  A BC.
(d) Existence of additive identity : For any matrix A , A  O  O  A  A ; such that the
matrix A and null matrix O are of same order. That is, O is the additive identity for
matrix addition.
(e) Existence of additive inverse : For any matrix A , A  (  A)  (  A)  A  O .
Here (  A) is the additive inverse of A or negative of A .
05. Multiplication of a matrix by a scalar :
If an m  n matrix A is multiplied by a scalar k (say), then the new kA matrix is obtained by
multiplying each element of matrix A by scalar k. Thus if A  [a ij ] and it is multiplied by a scalar k
then, k A  [k a ij ] , i.e., A  [ a ij ]  k A  [k a ij ] .

 For better illustration, we need to follow a few more examples (to be discussed in the class).
02. Properties of matrix multiplication :
(a) Note that the product AB is defined only when the number of columns in matrix A is
equal to the number of rows in matrix B.
(b) If A and B are m  n and n  p matrices respectively, then the matrix AB will be an
m  p matrix i.e., order of matrix AB will be m  p .
(c) In the product AB, A is called the pre-factor and B is called the post-factor.
(d) If two matrices A and B are such that AB is possible, then it is not necessary that the
product BA is also possible.
(e) If A is a m  n matrix and both AB as well as BA are defined, then B will be a n  m
matrix.
(f) If A is a n  n matrix and In be the unit matrix of order n, then A In  I n A  A .
(g) Existence of multiplicative identity; for every square matrix A there exists an identity
matrix of same order such that I A  A I  A .
(h) Matrix multiplication is associative i.e., A( BC)  (AB)C .
(i) Matrix multiplication is distributive over the addition i.e., A( B  C)  AB  AC .
(j) If A and B are diagonal matrices of same order, then we always have AB  BA .
03. Powers of a square matrix :
Let A be a square matrix of order n, then AA is defined and it is also a square matrix of order n.
That is A1  A , A 2  AA , A3  A 2 A  AA 2  AAA , …, A m  A m1A  AA m1 ; for all positive
integers m .

Sol. Let A  [a ij ] be a square matrix such that it is skew-symmetric.

 Invertible Matrices
01. Def. If A is a square matrix of order m and if there exists another square matrix B of the same
order m, such that AB = BA = I, then B is called the inverse matrix of A and it is denoted by A–1.
A matrix having an inverse is said to be invertible.

It is to note that if B is inverse of A, then A is also the inverse of B.


In other words, if it is known that AB  BA  I , then A1  B  B 1  A .

02. Inverse or Reciprocal of a square matrix :


If A is a square matrix of order n, then a matrix B (if such a matrix exists) is called the inverse of A if
AB  BA  I n .
Also note that the inverse of a square matrix A is denoted by A–1 and we write, A 1  B .

 Inverse of a square matrix A exists if and only if A is non-singular matrix i.e., A  0 (explained
later in the Determinant section).
 If B is inverse of A, then A is also the inverse of B.

 Inverse of a square matrix, if it exists, is unique (Uniqueness of inverse of matrices).


 If A and B are invertible matrices of the same order, then (AB) 1  B1 A 1 .
03. Matrix polynomial :
Let f (x)  a 0 x m  a1x m 1  a 2 x m  2 ...  a m 1 x  a m be a polynomial in variable x and A be a square matrix
of order n , then f (A)  a 0 A m  a1A m 1  a 2 A m 2  ...  a m 1A  a m is called a matrix polynomial in A.
Thus, to obtain f (A) , just replace x by A in f (x) and the constant term is multiplied by the identity
matrix (unit matrix) of the order same as that of A i.e., f (A)  a 0 A m  a1A m 1  ...  a m 1A  a m I .
The polynomial equation f (x)  0 is said to be satisfied by the matrix A, if f (A)  O , where O is the
null matrix of the order same as that of A.

 DETERMINANTS, ITS PROPERTIES & APPLICATIONS
INTRODUCTION
The study of determinants is linked with the study of algebra of matrices. Determinants have many
important applications. They are used to find the inverse of a matrix, to obtain the area of a triangle, to
verify whether three given points are collinear, to solve system of linear equations etc. Later on, in the
chapter Vector Algebra, we shall use determinants to find vector product of two vectors.
IMPORTANT TERMS, DEFINITIONS & RESULTS
01. Determinants, Minors & Cofactors :
(a) Determinant :
A unique number (real or complex) can be associated to every square matrix A  [a ij ] of order m.
th
This number is called the determinant of the square matrix A, where a ij   i, j element of A.
a b  a b
For instance, if A    then, determinant of matrix A is written as A   det.(A ) and its
c d c d
value is given by “ ad  bc ".
a b
For memorization, A   ad  bc .
c d
 For a square matrix A, A is read as ‘determinant of A’ and not modulus of A.
 Only square matrices have determinants.
 For a matrix A   x  of order 1 1 , its determinant value is A  x .
(b) Minors :
Minor of an element a ij of a determinant (or a determinant corresponding to matrix A) is the
determinant obtained by deleting its ith row and jth column in which a ij lies. Minor of the element a ij is
denoted by M ij .
Hence, we can get 9 minors corresponding to the 9 elements of a third order (i.e., 3  3) determinant.
(c) Cofactors :
Cofactor of an element a ij , denoted by Aij , is defined by, Aij  (1)i j M ij , where Mij is minor of a ij .
Sometimes Cij is used in place of Aij to denote the cofactor of element a ij .

02. Expanding a Determinant :


A determinant can be expanded along any row (or, column) as follows -
Adding the Products of each element of any row (or, column) with its corresponding Cofactor, gives the
value of the determinant.
1 2 1
e.g. 4 5 0  1(5  3  2  0)  (2)[(3  4  0  (3))]  (1)(4  2  5  (3))
3 2 3
  15  24  23  16 . (Note that we have expanded this Det. along first row.
03. Properties of Determinants :
(a) If any two rows or columns of a determinant are proportional or identical, then its value is
equal to zero.
a1 b1 c1
e.g.   a2 b2 c2  0
a1 b1 c1

MATHMISSION FOR XII By O.P. GUPTA (INDIRA Award Winner)

Note that R1 and R3 are the same (identical).


(b) The value of a determinant remains unchanged if its rows and columns are interchanged.
a1 b1 c1 a1 a2 a3
e.g.   a2 b2 c2  b1 b2 b3 .
a3 b3 c3 c1 c2 c3
Here rows and columns have been interchanged, but there is no effect on the value of determinant.
In other words, the value of determinant of matrix A and its transpose AT remains the same.
(c) If each element of a row or a column of a determinant is multiplied by a constant k, then the
value of new determinant is k times the value of the original determinant.
a1 b1 c1 ka1 kb1 kc1 a1 b1 c1
e.g.   a2 b2 c2 , 1  a2 b2 c2  k a2 b2 c2  1  k  .
a3 b3 c3 a3 b3 c3 a3 b3 c3
(d) If any two rows or columns are interchanged, then the determinant retains its absolute value,
but its sign is changed.
a1 b1 c1 a3 b3 c3
e.g.   a2 b2 c2 , 1  a2 b2 c2  1   (Here R 1  R 3
a3 b3 c3 a1 b1 c1
(e) If every element of some column or row is the sum of two terms, then the determinant is equal
to the sum of two determinants; one containing only the first term in place of each sum, the other
only the second term. The remaining elements of both determinants are the same as given in the
original determinant.
a1   b1 c1 a1 b1 c1  b1 c1
e.g.   a2   b2 c2  a2 b2 c2   b2 c2 .
a3   b3 c3 a3 b3 c3  b3 c3

04. Area of triangle :


Area of a triangle whose vertices are  x1 , y1  ,  x2 , y2  and  x3 , y3  is given by,
x1 y1 1
1
  Magnitude of x2 y2 1 (in Sq. units)
2
x3 y3 1

(i) Since area is a positive quantity, we take absolute value of the determinant  shown above.
(ii) If the points ( x1 , y1 ), ( x2 , y2 ) and ( x3 , y3 ) are collinear then   0 .
(iii) The equation of a line passing through the points  x1 , y1  and  x2 , y2  can be obtained by the
x y 1
expression given here : x1 y1 1  0 .

05. Product of Two Determinants :


a1 b1 c1 1 1 1

a 3 1  b31  c3 1 a 3  2  b3 2  c3  2 a 3  3  b33  c3  3
Here we have multiplied rows by rows. We can also multiply rows by columns or, columns by rows
or, columns by columns. It’s because of the fact that A  A T .
Moreover AB  A B  B A  BA , where A and B are square matrices of the same order.

06. Derivative of a Determinant :


f (x) g(x) h(x)
Let (x)  p(x) q(x) r(x) .
s(x) t(x) u(x)
f (x) g(x) h (x) f (x) g(x) h(x) f (x) g(x) h(x)
(x)  p(x) q(x) r(x)  p(x) q(x) r(x)  p(x) q(x) r(x) .
s(x) t(x) u(x) s(x) t(x) u(x) s(x) t (x) u(x)
Here we have differentiated through rows. Same can be done through columns too.
Alternatively, we can use properties of determinants to expand the determinant and, then differentiate it.

 APPLICATION OF MATRICES & DETERMINANTS


INTRODUCTION
The study of matrices and determinants can be utilized to verify the Consistency of system of linear
equations. We’ll use inverse of matrix to solve system of linear equations. We’ll also be discussing real
life based problems and see the usage of matrices and determinants to solve such problems.
IMPORTANT TERMS, DEFINITIONS & RESULTS
01. Solutions of System of Linear equations :
(a) Consistent and Inconsistent system :
A system of equations is said to be consistent if it has one or more solutions otherwise it is said to be an
inconsistent system. In other words an inconsistent system of equations has no solution.
(b) Homogeneous and Non-homogeneous system :
A system of equations AX  B is said to be a homogeneous system if B  O .
Otherwise it is called a non-homogeneous system of equations.
02. Solving of system of equations by Matrix method (Inverse Matrix Method) :
Consider the following system of equations,
a1x  b1 y  c1z  d1 ,
a 2 x  b2 y  c2 z  d 2 ,
a 3 x  b 3 y  c 3z  d 3
 a1 b1 c1   d1  x 
STEP 1    
Assume A  a 2 b 2 c2  , B   d 2  and X   y  .
 a 3 b3 c3   d3   z 
STEP 2 Find A .
Now there may be following situations:
(a) A  0  A 1 exists.
It implies that the given system of equations is consistent and therefore, the system has
unique solution.
In that case, write AX  B .
Pre-multiplying by A 1 both sides, we get : A 1AX  A 1B
 I X  A 1B
 1 1
 X  A 1B  where A   adj.A 
 A
Then by using the definition of equality of matrices, we can get the values of x, y and z.

(b) A  0 implies A 1 doesn’t exist.


It implies that the given system of equations may be consistent or inconsistent.
In order to check proceed as follow:
 Find (adj.A) B.
Now we may have either (adj.A) B  O or (adj.A) B  O .
(i) If (adj.A) B  O , then the given system may be consistent or inconsistent.
To check, put z  k in the given equations and proceed in the same manner in the new
two variables system of equations assuming d i  ci k, 1  i  3 as constant.
(ii) If (adj.A) B  O , then the given system is inconsistent with no solutions.

A Note about Homogeneous System of Equations :


The system of homogeneous equations a1x  b1y  c1z  0, a 2 x  b 2 y  c 2z  0,
a 3x  b3 y  c3z  0 is always consistent.
a1 b1 c1
 If   a 2 b2 c 2  0 , then system of equations has the unique solution x  y  z  0 (known
a3 b3 c3
as trivial solution). But if   0 , then this system of equations has an infinite number of solution.
Hence for non-trivial solution, we can say   0 .

Ex10. On her birthday Seema decided to donate some money to children of an orphanage home.
If there were 8 children less, every one would have got `10 more. However, if there were
16 children more, every one would have got `10 less.
Using matrix method, find the number of children and the amount distributed by Seema.
Sol. Let the number of children be x and the amount distributed by Seema for one child be `y.
So, (x  8)(y  10)  xy
 5x  4y  40...(i)
and (x  16)(y  10)  xy

Ex12. A class XII student, Abdul threw a basketball in the direction of the basketball hoop which
traversed a parabolic path in a vertical plane as shown below.

(Note : The image is for representation purpose only.)


The equation of the path traversed by the ball is y  ax 2  bx  c with respect to a xy-
coordinate system in the vertical plane. The ball traversed through the points (10, 16), (20,
22) and (30, 25). The basketball hoop is at a horizontal distance of 70 feet from Abdul. The
height of the basketball hoop is 10 feet from the floor to the top edge of the rim.
Did the ball successfully go through the hoop? Justify your answer.
Sol. Note that, the points (10,16), (20, 22) and (30, 25) shall satisfy y  ax 2  bx  c .
