Step 1: Understand the problem. You are asked to find the matrix A - B, where matrices A and B are given as: A=[4132] and B=[5907].
Step 2: Recall the rule for matrix subtraction. To subtract two matrices, subtract their corresponding elements. That is, if A = [a_{ij}] and B = [b_{ij}], then A - B = [a_{ij} - b_{ij}].
Step 3: Set up the subtraction element-wise. For each element in the resulting matrix, subtract the element in B from the corresponding element in A: A - B = \(\begin{bmatrix}\) 4 - 5 & 1 - 9 \\ 3 - 0 & 2 - 7 \(\end{bmatrix}\).
Step 4: Write the resulting matrix with the subtracted elements (do not calculate the final values yet). This matrix represents the difference between A and B.
Step 5: Verify that both matrices A and B have the same dimensions (2x2), which is necessary for subtraction to be valid.

Concetti chiave

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

Matrix Subtraction

Matrix subtraction involves subtracting corresponding elements of two matrices of the same dimensions. Each element in the resulting matrix is found by subtracting the element in matrix B from the element in matrix A at the same position.

Matrix Dimensions and Compatibility

For matrix operations like addition or subtraction, the matrices must have the same dimensions (same number of rows and columns). Here, both matrices A and B are 2x2, making subtraction possible.
