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
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?
Number of elements = 12
∴possible orders of the matrix are
1 x 12, 12 x 1,2 X 6. 6 x 2,3 x 4,4 x 3
If numbers of elements = 7, then possible orders are 1 x 7. 7 x 1
