Linear Algebra

Linear algebra is the detailed study of vector spaces. With applications in such disparate fields as sociology, economics, computer programming, chemistry, and physics, including its essential role in mathematically describing quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity, linear algebra has become one of the most essential mathematical disciplines for the modern world. Please direct all questions regarding matrices, determinants, eigenvalues, eigenvectors, and linear transformations into this category.

What is the answer to 100 x 100?

100x100=10,000 because there are 4 0's left after so they have to be added

Let A be a 6by4 matrix and B a 4by6 matrix show that the 6by6 matrix AB can not be invertible?

It is not possible to show that since it is not necessarily true.

There is absolutely nothing in the information that is given in the question which implies that AB is not invertible.

Who discovered promethium?

It was Jacob A. Marinsky, Lawrence E. Glendenin and Charles D. Coryell who discovered promethium. It had been predicted many years before, but had never been found or isolated. A link can be found below for more information.

Is idempotent matrix a square matrix?

A square matrix K is said to be idempotent if K2=K.

So yes K is a square matrix

What do you call it when somebody spends 20 years in the 24th row of a theater?

Living in "X" aisle *exile*. Play on words/letters; "X" is the 24th letter of the alphabet, and when read, "X" aisle sounds like "exile".

How can you learn to solve an equation chart?

Unanswerable in current form.

Perhaps an"equation chart" is a table of values?

Whats the solution to 2x--9-3 equals 2 4x-6-3?

2x + 6 = 8x -18. (Poorly written, but I believe this is what you're looking for)

x = 4

Why is stiffness matrix square?

The stiffness matrix is square because it relates the forces applied to a structure to the displacements at its nodes in a finite element analysis. Each degree of freedom (DOF) at a node corresponds to a row and a column in the matrix, ensuring that the number of equations matches the number of unknowns. This square structure allows for a direct mapping of forces to displacements and enables the use of linear algebra techniques for solving the system of equations efficiently.

What is elimination system of tournament?

An elimination system type of tournament involves several rounds of play. Players will draw to see who they play against. Whoever wins from each round goes on to play a winner from another round. This continues until only one player is left.

What is the meaning of inverse matrices?

If, for an n*n matrix, A, there exists a matrix B such that AB = I, where I is the n*n identity matrix, then the matrix B is said to be the inverse of A. In that case, BA = I (in general, with matrices, AB ≠ BA)

I is an n*n matrix consisting of 1 on the principal diagonal and 0s elsewhere.

What are different ways to solve a system of equation?

That depends on what type of equation it is because it could be quadratic, simultaneous, linear, straight line or even differential

What is a sum?

The result of addition.
The answer of all your numbers added up.

What is linear combination in matrices?

If X1, X2 , ... , Xn are matrices of the same dimensions and a1, a2, ... an are constants, then

Y = a1*X1 + a2*X2 + ... + an,*Xn is a linear combination of the X matrices.

Can a zero matrix be a skew symmetric matrix?

My knowledge limits to square matrices.

The answer is yes, because 0 = -0

What is the formula for area of a ractangle?

The area of a rectangle is its height multiplied by its width

X minus 3y equals -3 and 6x plus 2y equals -12What type of lines are these?

Both of these equations describe straight lines in the xy-plane. At the y-axis x=0 and at the x-axis y=0. So, by substituting in x=0, we can find where the two lines cross the y-axis and, by substituting in y=0, we can find where they cross the x-axis. For the first line:
x - 3y = -3
(sub in x=0)
0 - 3y= -3
(divide both sides by -3)
y=1 ----> so this line crosses the y-axis at y=1 only.
By following a similar process we can find that this line crosses the x-axis at x=-3 and that the second line, 6x + 2y = -12, crosses the x and y axes at x=-2 and y=-6respectively.

If the two lines cross each other then, at some point in the xy-plane, their x and y values will be equal, meaning we can rearrange one equation and substitute it into the second one:

Rearrange x - 3y = -3 to give:
x = 3y - 3
So we can substitute 3y - 3 into the second equation, 6x + 2y = -12, giving:
6(3y - 3) + 2y = -12
(multiply out the bracket and collect terms)
20y - 18 = -12
(add 3 to both sides and then divide both sides by 20)
y= 6/20 = 0.3
(sub this back into x= 3y - 3 to find x)
x=-2.1
So, the two lines cross each other at the point (-2.1, 0.3)
