Question 1

a. Types of matrices

1. Row matrix (row vector)

Row matrix or vector matrix is a matrix with only one row

a. B₂ₓ₃ = [ ] b. B₁ₓ₄ = [ ]

2. Column matrix (column vector)

A matrix with only one column is called column matrix or column vector

a. S₃ₓ₁ = b. S₄ₓ₁ =

3. Square matrix

A matrix with equal number of rows and columns is called square matrix. The m x n matrix is
square, if and only if, m = n.

a. S₂ₓ₂ = b. S₃ₓ₃ =

The elements on the main diagonal of any given square matrix are all the element which lies
from the upper left corner to the lower right corner. The main diagonal elements for matrix S₂ₓ₂
above are -1 and 0. While the main diagonal of matrix S₃ₓ₃ are 3, 1 and 4.

4. Diagonal matrix

If a square matrix has at least only non-zero element on its main diagonal and all other elements
are zero, the matrix is known as diagonal matrix or aᵢᴊ=0 for i ≠j

a. P₂ₓ₂ = b. P₃ₓ₃ =

5. Special matrix

5.1 Identity Matrix

Denoted by I is the diagonal matrix whore main diagonal entries are 1’s.

a. I₂ₓ₂ = b. I₃ₓ₃ =

5.2 Zero Matrix

Zero matrix or null matrix, denoted by 0 is the matrix when all the elements of a matrix set are set to
zero. Examples are as shown below

a. 0₂ₓ₃ = b. 0₃ₓ₂ =

b. Solve equation using Cramer’s Rule

x + y + z = -5
x – 4y + z = 35
x + 3y + 4z + -18

D = = (-16) + 1 + 3 - (-4) - 3 - 4

D = -15

Dx = = 80 + (-18) + 105 – 72 – (-15) – 140

D = -30

Dy = = 140 + (-5) + (-18) – 35 – (-18) – (-20)

Dy = 120

Dz = = 72 + 35 + (-15) – 20 – 105 – (-18)

Dz = -15

Question 2 (a)

a. Determine the direction of which the parabola opens by observing the value of a

If a is negative, then the parabola open downward and the function has a maximum value
If a is positive, then the parabola open upward and the function has a minimum value

b. Find the turning point (x,y) using the formula below

c. Find the y-intercept, at which the x = 0.

Substitute x = 0 into the quadratic function.

Hence, (0,c) is the y-intercept.

d. Find the x-intercept (if it exists)

The graph crosses x-axis when y=0, that is when

This equation can be solved by factoring or using the quadratic formula

Quadratic Formula =

The graph crosses the x-axis or not, depends on the value of .

i. . ˃ 0, the graph crosses the x-axis at two points
ii. = 0, the graph crosses the x-axis at only one point,
iii. . ˂ 0, the graph foes not cross the x-axis

e. Plot all the predetermined points from steps (a) to (d). Draw a smooth curve passing through
the points
