If a matrix has 18 elements, what are the possible orders it can have? What, if it has 5 elements?
We know that if a matrix is of the order m × n, it has mn elements.
Thus, to find all the possible orders of a matrix having 18 elements, we have to find all the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 18. The ordered pairs are: (1, 18), (18, 1), (2, 9), (9, 2), (3, 6,), and (6, 3)
Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 18 elements are:
1 × 18, 18 × 1, 2 × 9, 9 × 2, 3 × 6, and 6 × 3 (1, 5) and (5, 1) are the ordered pairs of natural numbers whose product is 5.
Hence, the possible orders of a matrix having 5 elements are 1 × 5 and 5 × 1.
Determine whether each of the following relations are reflexive, symmetric, and transitive.
Show that the relation R in the set R of real numbers, defined as
R = {(a, b): a ≤ b2 } is neither reflexive nor symmetric nor transitive.
Check whether the relation R defined in the set {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} as
R = {(a, b): b = a + 1} is reflexive, symmetric or transitive.
In the matrix A= \(\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 5 & 19&-7 \\ 35 & -2 & \frac{5}{2}&12 \\ \sqrt3 & 1 & -5&17 \end{bmatrix}\),write:
I. The order of the matrix
II. The number of elements
III. Write the elements a13, a21, a33, a24, a23
If a matrix has 24 elements, what are the possible order it can have? What, if it has 13 elements?
Construct a 3×4 matrix, whose elements are given by

Find the value of x, y, and z from the following equation:

III. \(\begin{bmatrix}x+y+z\\x+z\\y+z\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}9\\5\\7\end{bmatrix}\)
Find the value of a,b,c, and d from the equation: \(\begin{bmatrix}a-b&2a+c\\2a-b&3c+d\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&5\\0&13\end{bmatrix}\)
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers, variables, symbols, or expressions that are defined for the operations like subtraction, addition, and multiplications. The size of a matrix is determined by the number of rows and columns in the matrix.
