 ?What is the meaning of matrix
If one factory produces three kinds of electric sets : Tv set ,
washing machines , refrigerators and the factory has two branches
X and Y and the average of weekly production of the factory of
: these sets is shown in the following table

Refrigerator Washing TV set

The matrix: "Is an organization of some elements written in rows
." ) ( and columns between brackets in the form

1st column 2nd 3rd

-5 3 10 1st row

-1 4 -4 2nd row
0 3 5 3rd row

The dimensions of any matrix =

no. of rows ×no of columns
 How to express the elements in
.the matrix
A =  a11 a12 a13 
a a22 a23  a23
 21

row column

a23 is the element in2nd row and the 3rd column.

Ex1
Write the dimensions of the matrices A and B then find :
a11 , a23 , b21 , b33

Answer
The dimension of the matrix A = 2×3

The dimension of the matrix B = 3×3

a11 = 5

 Ex2: Write the matrix (Axy) of the dimensions 3 × 2
where axy= 2x–y

Answer
Row x=1,2,3
Column y= 1,2
1 0
a 11 =2 × 1 – 1 = 1
3 2
a 12 = 2 × 1 – 2 = 0
= A
a21 = 2 × 2 – 1 =3
a22 = 2 × 2 – 2 =2 5 4
a31 = 2 × 3 – 1 =5
a32 = 2 ×3 – 2 = 4
