Determinants and Matrices:
Determinant of 2x2 Matrix:
For A=[abcd]A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix},
∣A∣=ad−bc|A| = ad - bc
Determinant of 3x3 Matrix:
For A=[abcdefghi]A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b & c \\ d & e & f \\ g & h & i \end{bmatrix},
∣A∣=a(ei−fh)−b(di−fg)+c(dh−eg)|A| = a(ei - fh) - b(di - fg) + c(dh - eg)
Minor and Cofactor:
Minor MijM_{ij}: Determinant of the matrix obtained by removing the ithi^{th} row and jthj^{th} column.
Cofactor Cij=(−1)i+jMijC_{ij} = (-1)^{i+j} M_{ij}.
Properties of Determinants:
If two rows (or columns) are identical, ∣A∣=0|A| = 0.
∣AT∣=∣A∣|A^T| = |A|.
Cramer's Rule:
For a system AX=BAX = B, solutions are given by:
x=∣A1∣∣A∣,y=∣A2∣∣A∣,z=∣A3∣∣A∣x = \frac{|A_1|}{|A|}, y = \frac{|A_2|}{|A|}, z = \frac{|A_3|}{|A|}
where A1,A2,A3A_1, A_2, A_3 are matrices formed by replacing the corresponding column of AA with the column vector BB.
Matrix Addition and Scalar Multiplication:
(A+B)ij=Aij+Bij(A + B)_{ij} = A_{ij} + B_{ij}
(cA)ij=c⋅Aij(cA)_{ij} = c \cdot A_{ij}
Matrix Multiplication:
For A=[abcd]A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix} and B=[efgh]B = \begin{bmatrix} e & f \\ g & h \end{bmatrix},
AB=[ae+bgaf+bhce+dgcf+dh]AB = \begin{bmatrix} ae + bg & af + bh \\ ce + dg & cf + dh \end{bmatrix}
Adjoint of a Matrix:
The adjoint of AA is the transpose of its cofactor matrix.
Inverse of a Matrix:
For a 2x2 matrix A=[abcd]A = \begin{bmatrix} a & b \\ c & d \end{bmatrix},
A−1=1ad−bc[d−b−ca]A^{-1} = \frac{1}{ad - bc} \begin{bmatrix} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{bmatrix}
Rank of a Matrix:
The rank is the maximum number of linearly independent rows or columns in the matrix.
Statement: Every square matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation.
If AA is an n×nn \times n matrix, its characteristic polynomial is: pA(λ)=det(A−λI)p_A(\lambda) = \text{det}(A - \lambda I) Then, the Cayley-Hamilton theorem states that: pA(A)=0p_A(A) = 0
Eigenvalue Equation:
For matrix AA and scalar λ\lambda,
Av=λvA v = \lambda v
where vv is the eigenvector.
Finding Eigenvalues:
Solve det(A−λI)=0\text{det}(A - \lambda I) = 0.
Finding Eigenvectors:
Substitute the eigenvalue λ\lambda into (A−λI)v=0(A - \lambda I) v = 0 and solve for vv.
Inverse of a Matrix:
For a matrix AA, if A⋅A−1=IA \cdot A^{-1} = I, then A−1A^{-1} exists. Use the formula for the inverse of 2x2 or 3x3 matrices to find it.
Matrix Properties:
Matrix multiplication is not commutative, i.e., AB≠BAAB \neq BA.
ATA^T is the transpose of matrix AA (flip rows and columns).
