Example Question #21 : Operations And Properties

Which of the following is a diagonal matrix?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

A diagonal matrix is a matrix in which all elements except diagonal elements are zero.  A diagonal element of a matrix M is the element Mij for which i=j.  Here, i refers to the number of columns and j is the number of rows.  The matrix doesn't necessarily have to be a square matrix; as long as elements not in the form Mii are zero, the matrix is diagnoal.  The only matrix that fufills this definition is:

Example Question #1 : The Transpose

Find the transpose of Matrix .

 

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

To find the transpose, we need to make columns into rows.

Example Question #2 : The Transpose

Transpose matrix A where,

 

Possible Answers:

You cannot transpose a square matrix

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Transposing a matrix simply means to make the columns of the original matrix the rows in the transposed matrix.  Example:  ie. column 1 become row 1, column 2 becomes row 2, etc.  

Example Question #3 : The Transpose

Possible Answers:

Not possible with non-square matrices

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Transposing a matrix simply means to make the columns of the original matrix the rows in the transposed matrix.  Example:  ie. column 1 become row 1, column 2 becomes row 2, etc.  

Example Question #4 : The Transpose

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Transposing a matrix simply means to make the columns of the original matrix the rows in the transposed matrix.  Example:  ie. column 1 become row 1, column 2 becomes row 2, etc.  

Example Question #5 : The Transpose

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Transposing a matrix simply means to make the columns of the original matrix the rows in the transposed matrix.  Example:  ie. column 1 become row 1, column 2 becomes row 2, etc.  

Example Question #6 : The Transpose

Possible Answers:

Not Possible 

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Transposing a matrix simply means to make the columns of the original matrix the rows in the transposed matrix.  Example:  ie. column 1 become row 1, column 2 becomes row 2, etc.  

Example Question #7 : The Transpose

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

Transposing a matrix simply means to make the columns of the original matrix the rows in the transposed matrix.  Example:  ie. column 1 become row 1, column 2 becomes row 2, etc.  

Example Question #1 : The Transpose

Which is the transpose of ?

Possible Answers:

Correct answer:

Explanation:

The transverse is the matrix where the columns are now the corresponding rows - the first column is now the first row, the second column is now the second row, etc.

Example Question #9 : The Transpose

Find the transpose of matrix A. 

Possible Answers:

None of the other answers

Correct answer:

Explanation:

For a 3x2 matrix A, the transpose of A is a 2x3 matrix, where the columns are formed from the corresponding rows of A.
