Represent the above information in the form of a 3 x 2 matrix. What does the entry in the third row and second column represent ?
In the matrix
(i) The order of the matrix
(ii) The number of elements,
(iii) Write the elements a13,a21 a33 a24’ a23
( i) Now A has 3 rows and 4 columns and so A is of order 3 x 4.
(ii) Number of elements = 3 x 4 = 12
(iii) a13, =- 19., a21 =35, a33 = 5, J24 = 12, a23
If a matrix has 24 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 13 elements?
If a matrix has 18 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 5 elements?
