Best Answer

The two matrices and their answer must be of the same dimensions.

Each element of the answer matrix is the sum of the elements in the corresponding elements on the matrices that are being added.

In algebraic form,

if A = {aij} where 1 ≤ i ≤ m, 1 ≤ j ≤ n is an mxn matrix

B = {bij} where 1 ≤ i ≤ m, 1 ≤ j ≤ n is an mxn matrix

and C = {cij} = A + B,

then C is an mxn matrix and cij = aij + bij for all 1 ≤ i ≤ m, 1 ≤ j ≤ n

How do you develop a JAVA program that computes matrices?

Matrices can't be "computed" as such; only operations like multiplication, transpose, addition, subtraction, etc., can be done. What can be computed are determinants. If you want to write a program that does operations such as these on matrices, I suggest using a two-dimensional array to store the values in the matrices, and use for-loops to iterate through the values.

When adding or subtracting matrices do the dimensions of the sum or differences always match the original matrices?

Yes, because otherwise addition and subtraction are not defined.

Are matrix addition and matrix multiplication commutative?

Matrix addition is commutative if the elements in the matrices are themselves commutative.Matrix multiplication is not commutative.


What is commuting use?

Commuting in algebra is often used for matrices. Say you have two matrices, A and B. These two matrices are commutative if A * B = B * A. This rule can also be used in regular binary operations(addition and multiplication). For example, if you have an X and Y. These two numbers would be commutative if X + Y = Y + X. The case is the same for X * Y = Y * X. There are operations like subtraction and division that are not commutative. These are referred to as noncommutative operations. Hope this helps!!


Is the set of all 2x2 invertible matrices a subspace of all 2x2 matrices?

I assume since you're asking if 2x2 invertible matrices are a "subspace" that you are considering the set of all 2x2 matrices as a vector space (which it certainly is). In order for the set of 2x2 invertible matrices to be a subspace of the set of all 2x2 matrices, it must be closed under addition and scalar multiplication. A 2x2 matrix is invertible if and only if its determinant is nonzero. When multiplied by a scalar (let's call it c), the determinant of a 2x2 matrix will be multiplied by c^2 since the determinant is linear in each row (two rows -> two factors of c). If the determinant was nonzero to begin with c^2 times the determinant will be nonzero, so an invertible matrix multiplied by a scalar will remain invertible. Therefore the set of all 2x2 invertible matrices is closed under scalar multiplication. However, this set is not closed under addition. Consider the matrices {[1 0], [0 1]} and {[-1 0], [0 -1]}. Both are invertible (in this case, they are both their own inverses). However, their sum is {[0 0], [0 0]}, which is not invertible because its determinant is 0. In conclusion, the set of invertible 2x2 matrices is not a subspace of the set of all 2x2 matrices because it is not closed under addition.


Why are matrices used for representation while programming?

Let me correct you: two-dimensional arrays are used in programming to represent matrices. (Matrices are objects of mathematics, arrays are objects of programming.)
