Capitolo 7, Problema 12d

Find the following matrices: - 3A + 2B
A=[311−125],B=[2−36−31−4]A = \(\begin{bmatrix}\) 3 & 1 & 1 \\ -1 & 2 & 5 \(\end{bmatrix}\) , B = \(\begin{bmatrix}\) 2 & -3 & 6 \\ -3 & 1 & -4 \(\end{bmatrix}\)

First, write down the matrices A and B clearly: \(A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix}\) and \(B = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ -3 & 6 \end{bmatrix}\).
Next, multiply matrix A by the scalar -3. This means multiplying each element of A by -3: \(-3A = -3 \times \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -3 \times 3 & -3 \times 1 \\ -3 \times 1 & -3 \times 2 \end{bmatrix}\).
Then, multiply matrix B by the scalar 2. Multiply each element of B by 2: \(2B = 2 \times \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ -3 & 6 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \times 1 & 2 \times 2 \\ 2 \times (-3) & 2 \times 6 \end{bmatrix}\).
After finding \(-3A\) and \$2B$, add the two resulting matrices element-wise: \(-3A + 2B = \begin{bmatrix} (-3 \times 3) + (2 \times 1) & (-3 \times 1) + (2 \times 2) \\ (-3 \times 1) + (2 \times (-3)) & (-3 \times 2) + (2 \times 6) \end{bmatrix}\).
Finally, simplify each element in the resulting matrix to get the final matrix for \(-3A + 2B\).

Concetti chiave

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

Matrix Addition and Subtraction

Matrix addition and subtraction involve combining corresponding elements from two matrices of the same dimensions. To add or subtract matrices, each element in one matrix is added to or subtracted from the element in the same position in the other matrix.

Scalar Multiplication of Matrices

Scalar multiplication involves multiplying every element of a matrix by a constant (scalar). This operation scales the matrix by the scalar value, changing the magnitude of each element but not the matrix's dimensions.

Matrix Dimensions and Compatibility

For matrix operations like addition, subtraction, or scalar multiplication, the matrices must have the same dimensions (same number of rows and columns). Ensuring dimension compatibility is essential before performing these operations.
