Chapter 4: Q22. (page 164)

Perform the indicated matrix operation. If the matrix doesn鈥檛 exist, write impossible.
22. $\frac{1}{2} [\begin{matrix} 4 & 6 \\ 3 & 0 \end{matrix}] 鈭� \frac{2}{3} [\begin{matrix} 9 & 27 \\ 0 & 3 \end{matrix}]$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The final matrix after performing the indicated matrix operations is

$\frac{1}{2} [\begin{matrix} 4 & 6 \\ 3 & 0 \end{matrix}] 鈭� \frac{2}{3} [\begin{matrix} 9 & 27 \\ 0 & 3 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 鈭� 4 & 鈭� 15 \\ \frac{3}{2} & 鈭� 2 \end{matrix}]$ .

Step by step solution

- Define the concept used

Matrix subtraction and scalar multiplication:

If A and B are two matrices of order $m 脳 n$ , then the subtraction of the two matrices will also yield a matrix of order $m 脳 n$ wherein each element is the difference of the corresponding elements.

The product of a scalar k and an $m 脳 n$ matrix is an $m 脳 n$ matrix in which each element equals k times the corresponding elements of the original matrix.

- Perform the scalar multiplication first

Multiply each element in the first matrix $[\begin{matrix} 4 & 6 \\ 3 & 0 \end{matrix}]$ by $\frac{1}{2}$ and multiply each element in the second matrix $[\begin{matrix} 9 & 27 \\ 0 & 3 \end{matrix}]$ by $\frac{2}{3}$ .

$\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} [\begin{matrix} 4 & 6 \\ 3 & 0 \end{matrix}] 鈭� \frac{2}{3} [\begin{matrix} 9 & 27 \\ 0 & 3 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} (4) & \frac{1}{2} (6) \\ \frac{1}{2} (3) & \frac{1}{2} (0) \end{matrix}] 鈭� [\begin{matrix} \frac{2}{3} (9) & \frac{2}{3} (27) \\ \frac{2}{3} (0) & \frac{2}{3} (3) \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} 2 & 3 \\ \frac{3}{2} & 0 \end{matrix}] 鈭� [\begin{matrix} 6 & 18 \\ 0 & 2 \end{matrix}] \end{matrix}$

- Subtract corresponding elements

Subtract corresponding elements of both the matrices $[\begin{matrix} 2 & 3 \\ \frac{3}{2} & 0 \end{matrix}] 鈭� [\begin{matrix} 6 & 18 \\ 0 & 2 \end{matrix}]$ and simplify.

$\begin{matrix} \frac{1}{2} [\begin{matrix} 4 & 6 \\ 3 & 0 \end{matrix}] 鈭� \frac{2}{3} [\begin{matrix} 9 & 27 \\ 0 & 3 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 2 & 3 \\ \frac{3}{2} & 0 \end{matrix}] 鈭� [\begin{matrix} 6 & 18 \\ 0 & 2 \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} 2 鈭� 6 & 3 鈭� 18 \\ \frac{3}{2} 鈭� 0 & 0 鈭� 2 \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} 鈭� 4 & 鈭� 15 \\ \frac{3}{2} & 鈭� 2 \end{matrix}] \end{matrix}$
