4.6 Identity Matrix

Posted on April 24, 2020 by user

4.6 Identity Matrix

1. Identity matrix is a square matrix, usually denoted by the letter I and is also known as unit matrix.

2. All the diagonal elements (from top left to bottom right) of an identity matrix are 1 and the rest of the elements are 0.

For example,

$(\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) and (\begin{matrix} 1 & 00 \\ \begin{array}{l} 0 \\ 0 \end{array} & \begin{array}{l} 10 \\ 01 \end{array} \end{matrix}) are identity matrices .$

3. If I is the identity matrix of order n × n and A is a matrix of the same order, then IA = A and AI = A.

Example 1:

Determine whether each of the following is an identity matrix of

$(\begin{matrix} - 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 7 \end{matrix}) .$

$(a) (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) (b) (\begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{matrix})$

Solution:

$\begin{array}{l} (a) (\begin{matrix} - 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 7 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} - 2 \times 1 + 4 \times 0 & - 2 \times 0 + 4 \times 1 \\ 3 \times 1 + 7 \times 0 & 3 \times 0 + 7 \times 1 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} - 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 7 \end{matrix}) \\ Therefore, (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) is an identity matrix . \\ (b) (\begin{matrix} - 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 7 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} - 2 \times 0 + 4 \times 1 & - 2 \times 1 + 4 \times 0 \\ 3 \times 0 + 7 \times 1 & 3 \times 1 + 7 \times 0 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} 4 & - 2 \\ 7 & 3 \end{matrix}) \\ \neq (\begin{matrix} - 2 & 4 \\ 3 & 7 \end{matrix}) \\ Therefore, (\begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{matrix}) is not an identity matrix . \end{array}$

Example 2:

Find the product of the following pairs of matrices and determine whether the given matrix is an identity matrix.

$\begin{array}{l} (a) (\begin{matrix} - 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 7 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) and (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} - 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 7 \end{matrix}) \\ (b) (\begin{matrix} 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 1 & 8 \\ 5 & 3 \end{matrix}) and (\begin{matrix} 1 & 8 \\ 5 & 3 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{matrix}) \end{array}$

Solution:

$\begin{array}{l} (a) (\begin{matrix} - 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 7 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} - 3 \times 1 + 2 \times 0 & - 3 \times 0 + 2 \times 1 \\ 5 \times 1 + 7 \times 0 & 5 \times 0 + 7 \times 1 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} - 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 7 \end{matrix}) \\ (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} - 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 7 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} 1 \times - 3 + 0 \times 5 & 1 \times 2 + 0 \times 7 \\ 0 \times - 3 + 1 \times 5 & 0 \times 2 + 1 \times 7 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} - 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 7 \end{matrix}) \\ ∴ (\begin{matrix} 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 \end{matrix}) is an identity matrix for (\begin{matrix} - 3 & 2 \\ 5 & 7 \end{matrix}) . \\ (b) (\begin{matrix} 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 1 & 8 \\ 5 & 3 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} 0 \times 1 + 0 \times 5 & 0 \times 8 + 0 \times 3 \\ 1 \times 1 + 1 \times 5 & 1 \times 8 + 1 \times 3 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} 0 & 0 \\ 6 & 11 \end{matrix}) \\ (\begin{matrix} 1 & 8 \\ 5 & 3 \end{matrix}) (\begin{matrix} 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{matrix}) \\ = (\begin{matrix} 1 \times 0 + 8 \times 1 & 1 \times 0 + 8 \times 1 \\ 5 \times 0 + 3 \times 1 & 5 \times 0 + 3 \times 1 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} 8 & 8 \\ 3 & 3 \end{matrix}) \\ ∴ (\begin{matrix} 0 & 0 \\ 1 & 1 \end{matrix}) is NOT an identity matrix for (\begin{matrix} 1 & 8 \\ 5 & 3 \end{matrix}) . \end{array}$

4.2 Equal Matrices (Sample Questions)

Posted on April 24, 2020 by user

Example 1:

State the values of the unknowns in the following pairs of equal matrix.

$(\begin{matrix} 1 & x + 2 \\ 4 - y & - 1 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & - 1 \end{matrix})$

Solution:

$(\begin{matrix} 1 & x + 2 \\ 4 - y & - 1 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & - 1 \end{matrix})$

x + 2 = 3
x = 1

4 – y = 2
–y = –2
y = 2

Example 2:

Calculate the values of p and q in each of the following matrix equations.

$\begin{array}{l} (a) (\begin{matrix} 3 & 2 p + q \\ p & - 3 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} 3 & 1 \\ 8 - 2 q & - 3 \end{matrix}) \\ (b) (\begin{matrix} 10 & 0 \\ 5 p - 8 & 1 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} p - 2 q & 0 \\ - 4 q & 1 \end{matrix}) \end{array}$

Solution:

$(a) (\begin{matrix} 3 & 2 p + q \\ p & - 3 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} 3 & 1 \\ 8 - 2 q & - 3 \end{matrix})$

2p + q = 1

q = 1 – 2p ----(1)

p = 8 – 2q ----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2),

p = 8 – 2(1 – 2p)

p = 8 – 2 + 4p

p – 4p = 6

–3p = 6

p = –2

Substitute p = –2 into (1),

q = 1 – 2(–2)

q = 5

$(b) (\begin{matrix} 10 & 0 \\ 5 p - 8 & 1 \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} p - 2 q & 0 \\ - 4 q & 1 \end{matrix})$

10 = p – 2q

p = 10 + 2q ----(1)

5p – 8 = –4q ----(2)

Substitute (1) into (2),

5 (10 + 2q) – 8 = –4q

50 + 10q – 8 = –4q

14q = –42

q = –3

Substitute q = –3 into (1),

p = 10 + 2(–3)

p = 4

4.3 Addition and Subtraction of Matrices

(A) Determining whether addition or subtraction can be performed on two given matrices

1. Two matrices can be added or subtracted if both matrices have the same order.

2. The addition or subtraction of two matrices is performed by adding or subtracting the corresponding elements of the matrices.

Example 1:

State whether the following matrices can be added or subtracted. Give reason to your answer.

$\begin{array}{l} (a) (\begin{array}{l} 2 \\ 3 \end{array}) and (1 8) \\ (b) (\begin{matrix} 1 & 2 \\ 7 & 1 \end{matrix}) and (\begin{matrix} 10 & 0 \\ - 3 & - 1 \end{matrix}) \end{array}$

(c) (p 2 4) and (2 6 q)

Solution:
(a) Cannot because the matrices are not of the same order.
(b) Can because the matrices are of the same order.
(c) Can because the matrices are of the same order.

Example 2:

Express each of the following matrices as a single matrix.

$\begin{array}{l} If A = (\begin{array}{l} 3 \\ 2 \end{array}) and B = (\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 1 \end{array}), then \\ (a) A + B = (\begin{array}{l} 3 \\ 2 \end{array}) + (\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 1 \end{array}) \\ = (\begin{array}{l} 3 + 5 \\ 2 + 1 \end{array}) \\ = (\begin{array}{l} 8 \\ 3 \end{array}) \end{array}$

$\begin{array}{l} (b) B - A = (\begin{array}{l} 3 \\ 2 \end{array}) - (\begin{array}{l} 5 \\ 1 \end{array}) \\ = (\begin{array}{l} 3 - 5 \\ 2 - 1 \end{array}) \\ = (\begin{array}{l} - 2 \\ 1 \end{array}) \end{array}$

4.2 Equal Matrices

(A) Determining whether two matrices are equal

1. Two matrices are equal if they have the same order and their corresponding elements are equal.

For example,

$(\begin{matrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{matrix}) = (\begin{matrix} e & f \\ g & h \end{matrix})$

Therefore, a = e, b = f, c = g and d = h.

Example 1:

Determine whether the following pairs of matrices are equal.

$\begin{array}{l} (a) A = (\begin{matrix} 10 & 8 \\ - 3 & 1 \end{matrix}) and B = (\begin{matrix} 10 & 8 \\ - 3 & 1 \end{matrix}) \\ (b) P = (\begin{array}{l} 2 \\ - 4 \\ 10 \end{array}) and Q = (\begin{array}{l} 2 \\ - 3 \\ 10 \end{array}) \\ (c) M = (\begin{array}{l} 3 \\ 5 \end{array}) and N = (4 7) \end{array}$

Solution:

(a) Equal

(b) Not equal, because -4 ≠ -3.

(c) Not equal, because the orders of the matrices are not equal.

(B) Solving problem involving equal matrices

1. When matrices are equal, elements whose values are unknown can be determined.

Example 2:

State the value of the unknowns in the following pairs of equal matrix.

$(\begin{array}{l} 2 x \\ x + 2 y \end{array}) = (\begin{array}{l} - 8 \\ 10 \end{array})$

Solution:

$(\begin{array}{l} 2 x \\ x + 2 y \end{array}) = (\begin{array}{l} - 8 \\ 10 \end{array})$

2x = -8
x = -4

x + 2y = 10
(-4) + 2y = 10
2y = 10 + 4
2y = 14
y = 7

Solution:

(a)

(b)

(i)(a)

W: A reflection in the line x = –2

(i)(b)

V: An enlargement of scale factor 3 with centre (0, 4).
