CHAPTER 3 & 4
MATRICES AND DETERMINANTS
POINTS TO REMEMBER
 Matrix : A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers or functions.
The numbers or functions are called the elements of the matrix.
 Order of Matrix : A matrix having ‘m’ rows and ‘n’ columns is called the
matrix of order mxn.
 Square Matrix : An mxn matrix is said to be a square matrix of order n
if m = n.
 Column Matrix : A matrix having only one column is called a column
matrix i.e. A = [aij]mx1 is a column matrix of order mx1.
 Row Matrix : A matrix having only one row is called a row matrix
i.e.  1
 xn
B bij is a row matrix of order 1xn.
 Zero Matrix : A matrix having all the elements zero is called zero matrix
or null matrix.
 Diagonal Matrix : A square matrix is called a diagonal matrix if all its non
diagonal elements are zero.
 Scalar Matrix : A diagonal matrix in which all diagonal elements are
equal is called a scalar matrix.
 Identity Matrix : A scalar matrix in which each diagonal element is 1, is
called an identity matrix or a unit matrix. It is denoted by I.
 I = [eij]n × n

 Transpose of a Matrix : If A = [ai j ]m × n be an m × n matrix then the
matrix obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of A is called the
transpose of the matrix. Transpose of A is denoted by A´ or AT.
Properties of the transpose of a matrix.
(i) (A´)´ = A (ii) (A + B)´ = A´ + B´
(iii) (kA)´ = kA´, k is a scalar (iv) (AB)´ = B´A´
 Symmetrix Matrix : A square matrix A = [aij ] is symmetrix if aij = aji 
i, j. Also a square matrix A is symmetrix if A´ = A.
 Skew Symmetrix Matrix : A square matrix A = [aij] is skew-symmetrix,
if aij = – aji  i, j. Also a square matrix A is skew - symmetrix, if A´ = –
A.
 Determinant : To every square matrix A = [aij] of order n × n, we can
associate a number (real or complex) called determinant of A. It is denoted
by det A or |A|.
Properties
(i) |AB| = |A| |B|
(ii) |kA|n × n = kn |A|n × n where k is a scalar.

 Adjoint of a Square Matrix A is the transpose of the matrix whose
elements have been replaced by their cofactors and is denoted as adj A.
Let A = [aij]n × n
adj A = [Aji]n × n
25 XII – Maths
Properties
(i) A(adj A) = (adj A) A = |A| I
(ii) If A is a square matrix of order n then |adj A| = |A|n–1
(iii) adj (AB) = (adj B) (adj A).
[Note : Correctness of adj A can be checked by using
A.(adj A) = (adj A) . A = |A| I ]
Singular Matrix : A square matrix is called singular if |A| = 0, otherwise
it will be called a non-singular matrix.
Inverse of a Matrix : A square matrix whose inverse exists, is called
invertible matrix. Inverse of only a non-singular matrix exists. Inverse of
a matrix A is denoted by A–1 and is given by


1 1
. .A adj A
A
Properties
(i) AA–1 = A–1A = I
(ii) (A–1)–1 = A
(iii) (AB)–1 = B–1A–1
(iv) (AT)–1 = (A–1)T
 Solution of system of equations using matrix :
If AX = B is a matrix equation then its solution is X = A–1B.
(i) If |A|  0, system is consistent and has a unique solution.
(ii) If |A| = 0 and (adj A) B  0 then system is inconsistent and has
no solution.
(iii) If |A| = 0 and (adj A) B = 0 then system is either consistent and
has infinitely many solutions or system is inconsistent and has no
solution.

    23 XII –Maths CHAPTER 3 & 4 MATRICES AND DETERMINANTS POINTS TO REMEMBER  Matrix : A matrix is an ordered rectangular array of numbers or functions. The numbers or functions are called the elements of the matrix.  Order of Matrix : A matrix having ‘m’ rows and ‘n’ columns is called the matrix of order mxn.  Square Matrix : An mxn matrix is said to be a square matrix of order n if m = n.  Column Matrix : A matrix having only one column is called a column matrix i.e. A = [aij]mx1 is a column matrix of order mx1.  Row Matrix : A matrix having only one row is called a row matrix i.e.  1  xn B bij is a row matrix of order 1xn.  Zero Matrix : A matrix having all the elements zero is called zero matrix or null matrix.  Diagonal Matrix : A square matrix is called a diagonal matrix if all its non diagonal elements are zero.  Scalar Matrix : A diagonal matrix in which all diagonal elements are equal is called a scalar matrix.  Identity Matrix : A scalar matrix in which each diagonal element is 1, is called an identity matrix or a unit matrix. It is denoted by I.  I = [eij]n × n where,     1 if 0 ifij i j e i j

    XII – Maths24  Transpose of a Matrix : If A = [ai j ]m × n be an m × n matrix then the matrix obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of A is called the transpose of the matrix. Transpose of A is denoted by A´ or AT. Properties of the transpose of a matrix. (i) (A´)´ = A (ii) (A + B)´ = A´ + B´ (iii) (kA)´ = kA´, k is a scalar (iv) (AB)´ = B´A´  Symmetrix Matrix : A square matrix A = [aij ] is symmetrix if aij = aji  i, j. Also a square matrix A is symmetrix if A´ = A.  Skew Symmetrix Matrix : A square matrix A = [aij] is skew-symmetrix, if aij = – aji  i, j. Also a square matrix A is skew - symmetrix, if A´ = – A.  Determinant : To every square matrix A = [aij] of order n × n, we can associate a number (real or complex) called determinant of A. It is denoted by det A or |A|. Properties (i) |AB| = |A| |B| (ii) |kA|n × n = kn |A|n × n where k is a scalar. Area of triangles with vertices (x1, y1), (x2, y2) and (x3, y3) is given by   1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 1 2 1 x y x y x y The points (x1, y1), (x2, y2), (x3, y3) are collinear 1 1 2 2 3 3 1 1 0 1 x y x y x y    Adjoint of a Square Matrix A is the transpose of the matrix whose elements have been replaced by their cofactors and is denoted as adj A. Let A = [aij]n × n adj A = [Aji]n × n

    25 XII –Maths Properties (i) A(adj A) = (adj A) A = |A| I (ii) If A is a square matrix of order n then |adj A| = |A|n–1 (iii) adj (AB) = (adj B) (adj A). [Note : Correctness of adj A can be checked by using A.(adj A) = (adj A) . A = |A| I ] Singular Matrix : A square matrix is called singular if |A| = 0, otherwise it will be called a non-singular matrix. Inverse of a Matrix : A square matrix whose inverse exists, is called invertible matrix. Inverse of only a non-singular matrix exists. Inverse of a matrix A is denoted by A–1 and is given by   1 1 . .A adj A A Properties (i) AA–1 = A–1A = I (ii) (A–1)–1 = A (iii) (AB)–1 = B–1A–1 (iv) (AT)–1 = (A–1)T  Solution of system of equations using matrix : If AX = B is a matrix equation then its solution is X = A–1B. (i) If |A|  0, system is consistent and has a unique solution. (ii) If |A| = 0 and (adj A) B  0 then system is inconsistent and has no solution. (iii) If |A| = 0 and (adj A) B = 0 then system is either consistent and has infinitely many solutions or system is inconsistent and has no solution.
