Matrices Year 1 Flashcards
What is the order of the matrix?
Rows x Columns
What is a square matrix?
Same number of row as columns
What is the identity matrix?
1 0
0 1
What is the null matrix?
0 0
0 0
What is the transpose of a matrix?
Writing the columns as rows and vice versa
When can you add and subtract a matrix?
When they have the same order- add and subtract each element
Is matrix multiplication associative?
Yes
Is matrix multiplication commutative?
No
Define object
Original point/shape
Define image
The transformed shape
Define mapping
The transformation
Define i : 1
0
Unit vector in x axis (2D)
What is a unit vector?
A vector with a magnitude of one
Define j : 0
1
Unit vector in y axis (2D)
Define i: 1
0
0
Unit vector in x direction (3D)
Define j: 0
1
0
Unit vector in y direction (3D)
Define k: 0
0
1
Unit vector in z direction (3D)
How would you be able to identify the type of transformation?
e.g what is 2 0
0 2
Draw the transformation on a graph
1) Find the new coordinates by multiplying transformation individually by (1,0) (1,1) and (0,1) matrices
e.g
2 0 X 1 = new (1,0) point
0 2 0
2 0 X 1 = new (1,1) point
0 2 1
2 0 X 0 = new (0,1) point
0 2 1
What are the coordinates of the unit square in 2D?
(0,1)
(1,0)
(1,1)
Give the matrix for a enlargement (2D)
a 0
0 a
Where a > 0
