1Given matrices A = [[3, -2], [1, 5]] and B = [[2, 4], [-1, 3]], calculate C = 3A - 2B.
A.[[5, -14], [5, 9]]
B.[[5, -14], [1, 9]]
C.[[13, 2], [1, 21]]
D.[[5, 2], [5, 9]]
Explanation: Compute 3A = [[9, -6], [3, 15]] and 2B = [[4, 8], [-2, 6]]. Subtracting 2B from 3A gives C = [[9-4, -6-8], [3-(-2), 15-6]] = [[5, -14], [5, 9]].
2If matrix A has dimensions 3 x 2 and matrix B has dimensions 2 x 4, what are the dimensions of matrix product C = A * B?
A.2 x 2
B.3 x 4
C.4 x 3
D.The product is undefined.
Explanation: The product of a (m x n) matrix and an (n x p) matrix is an (m x p) matrix. Here, m = 3, n = 2, and p = 4, so C has dimensions 3 x 4.
3Calculate the determinant of matrix A = [[4, 7], [2, 5]].
A.6
B.-6
C.34
D.13
Explanation: For a 2x2 matrix [[a, b], [c, d]], the determinant is ad - bc. Thus, det(A) = (4)(5) - (7)(2) = 20 - 14 = 6.
4Find the product matrix A * B for A = [[2, 1], [0, 3]] and B = [[1, 4], [2, -1]].
A.[[4, 7], [6, -3]]
B.[[2, 4], [0, -3]]
C.[[4, 7], [6, 3]]
D.[[3, 5], [2, 2]]
Explanation: Element (1,1) = 2(1)+1(2) = 4; (1,2) = 2(4)+1(-1) = 7; (2,1) = 0(1)+3(2) = 6; (2,2) = 0(4)+3(-1) = -3. So A*B = [[4, 7], [6, -3]].
5Compute the determinant of the 3x3 matrix A = [[1, 2, 0], [0, 3, 1], [2, 1, 4]].
A.13
B.11
C.15
D.7
Explanation: Expanding det(A) along row 1: 1 * det([[3, 1], [1, 4]]) - 2 * det([[0, 1], [2, 4]]) + 0 = 1(12 - 1) - 2(0 - 2) = 11 - 2(-2) = 11 + 4 = 15.
6Which matrix identity is always true for invertible matrices A and B of the same size?
A.(A * B)^(-1) = B^(-1) * A^(-1)
B.(A * B)^(-1) = A^(-1) * B^(-1)
C.(A + B)^(-1) = A^(-1) + B^(-1)
D.det(A + B) = det(A) + det(B)
Explanation: The inverse of a matrix product reverses the multiplication order: (AB)^(-1) = B^(-1)A^(-1).
7Find the transpose matrix A^T for A = [[1, 5, 9], [2, 6, 0]].
A.[[1, 2], [5, 6], [9, 0]]
B.[[2, 6, 0], [1, 5, 9]]
C.[[9, 5, 1], [0, 6, 2]]
D.[[1, 6], [5, 0], [9, 2]]
Explanation: The transpose A^T converts rows into columns. Row 1 [1, 5, 9] becomes column 1, and Row 2 [2, 6, 0] becomes column 2, yielding a 3x2 matrix [[1, 2], [5, 6], [9, 0]].
8Solve the matrix equation X + [[2, -1], [4, 3]] = [[5, 2], [1, 7]].
A.[[3, 3], [-3, 4]]
B.[[7, 1], [5, 10]]
C.[[3, 1], [-3, 4]]
D.[[3, 3], [3, 4]]
Explanation: Subtract A from B: X = [[5-2, 2-(-1)], [1-4, 7-3]] = [[3, 3], [-3, 4]].
9Calculate the inverse matrix A^(-1) for A = [[2, 5], [1, 3]].
A.[[3, -5], [-1, 2]]
B.[[-3, 5], [1, -2]]
C.[[3, 1], [5, 2]]
D.[[2, -5], [-1, 3]]
Explanation: det(A) = 2(3) - 5(1) = 6 - 5 = 1. The inverse formula for [[a, b], [c, d]] is (1/det)[[d, -b], [-c, a]]. So A^(-1) = [[3, -5], [-1, 2]].
10Solve the matrix equation A * X = B for X, where A = [[1, 2], [0, 1]] and B = [[5, 6], [2, 3]].
A.[[1, 0], [2, 3]]
B.[[5, 6], [2, 3]]
C.[[9, 12], [2, 3]]
D.[[1, 1], [2, 3]]
Explanation: Compute A^(-1) = [[1, -2], [0, 1]]. Then X = A^(-1)B = [[1, -2], [0, 1]] * [[5, 6], [2, 3]] = [[1(5)-2(2), 1(6)-2(3)], [0(5)+1(2), 0(6)+1(3)]] = [[1, 0], [2, 3]].
