Step 1: Understand that matrix addition involves adding corresponding elements from each matrix. Both matrices A and B must have the same dimensions, which they do here (2 rows and 2 columns).
Step 2: Write down the matrices clearly: A = \( \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 1 \\ 3 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \), B = \( \begin{bmatrix} 5 & 9 \\ 0 & 7 \end{bmatrix} \).
Step 3: Add the elements in the first row and first column: 4 (from A) + 5 (from B) = 4 + 5.
Step 4: Add the elements in the first row and second column: 1 (from A) + 9 (from B) = 1 + 9.
Step 5: Repeat the process for the second row: 3 + 0 for the first column, and 2 + 7 for the second column.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Matrix Addition

Matrix addition involves adding corresponding elements from two matrices of the same dimensions. Each element in the resulting matrix is the sum of elements in the same position from the original matrices. This operation is only defined when both matrices have the same number of rows and columns.

Matrix Dimensions

The dimension of a matrix is given by the number of rows and columns it contains, expressed as 'rows × columns'. For matrix addition, both matrices must have identical dimensions to ensure each element corresponds correctly for addition.

Element-wise Operations

Element-wise operations on matrices, such as addition, require performing the operation on each pair of corresponding elements individually. Understanding this helps in correctly computing the sum of matrices by focusing on each element's position.
