CHAPTER – 1
MATRICES AND DETERMINANTS
Points to remember
1.A matrix obtained by changing rows into columns and columns into rows is called transpose of given matrix. If the matrix is denoted by a, its transpose is denoted by a ’ or At.
2.A square matrix A = [aij] is symmetric if A’ = A.
3.A square matrix A = [aij] is skew symmetric if A’ = –A.
4.Diagonal elements of a skew symmetric matrix are always zero.
5.If a determinant corresponding to a square matrix is zero, then matrix is said to be singular matrix. If |A| 0, then is its said to be a non-singular matrix.
6.For a square matrix A, A+ A’ is a symmetric matrix and A – A’ is a skew symmetric matrix and
SQUARE MATRIX = SYMMETRIX + SKEW-SYMMETRIC.
7.(a)Matrix multiplication is not commutative.
(b)Matrix multiplication is associative, if A, B, C be three matrices of order mxn, nxp and pxq. Then (AB)C = A(BC)
(c)Matrix multiplication is distributive over addition. If A, B, C be three matrices of order mxn, nxp, nxp respectively, then A(B + C) = AB + AC.
(d)AI = A = IA
An = A A …………. A (n factors)
8.Properties of determinants
(i)Value of determinant remains unchanged if its rows and columns are interchanged.
(ii)If any two rows or columns are interchanged the value of determinant changes by minus sign.
(iii)If any two rows or columns of a determinant are identical, then its value is zero.
(iv)If each element of a row or column is multiplied by a constant k then the value of determinant becomes k times the value of original determinant.
(v)If each element of a row or column is expressed as a sum of two or more terms then the determinant can be expressed as the sum of two or more determinants.
(vi)If each element of a row or column of a determinant be multiplied by the same constant and then added to the corresponding elements of some other row or column then the value of determinant remains unchanged.
(vii)If each element of a row or column is zero then the value of the determinant is zero.
Evaluation of Determinant:
Steps: (i) Reduce large numerals into smaller by applying properties.
(ii)Try to introduce zero at maximum number of places in a particular row or column using properties and expand along that particular row.
Example : Evaluate,
Take 3 common from C2 & 4 from C3 then
(a)Area of a triangle with vertices
(b)If points
10.Solution of system of equations using determinants (CRAMER’S RULE):-
Suppose system of equations is
Then,
(a)If D0, then system has a unique solution and is consistent.
(b)If D = 0 and are also zeros, the system is dependant has infinite solutions and consistent.
(c)If D = 0 and at least one of is0, then system is inconsistent.

13.Solution of system of equations using matrices:
Let System be:
(a)If |A|0, then system is consistent and has a unique solution, given by X = A–1B
(b)If |A| = 0 and (adjoint A). B0, (adjA). B0, then system is inconsistent and has no solution.
(c) If |A| = 0 and (adjoint A). B = 0,then system is either constituent and has infinite solutions Or the system may have no solution and hence inconsistent.
14.Solution of system of homogeneous equations:
Let system be:
(a)It has a trivial solution if i.e. x = 0, y = 0 and z = 0 (only solution)
(b)It has non trivial solution if , In the case the system has infinitely many solutions.
Note : Homogeneous system of equations is always consistent i.e. this system has either unique solution (x=0, y=0, z=0) or infinitely many solution.
15.For any square matrix A, A.(adjoint A)=(adjointA).A=|A|.l
