What is the Product of two Matrices?
The product of a p x q and a r x s matrix is defined only if q = r and, if so, it is a p x s matrix.
What are polynomials that can be factored?
A polynomial can be factored if it has a rational root. If f(x) is a polynomial function of x and if there is a rational number p such that f(p) = 0 then f(x) = (x-p)*g(x) where g(x) is a polynomial whose order is one less than the order of f(x). If p = q/r where q and r are integers, then (x - p) = (x - q/r) = (rx - q)/r which is a rational binomial factor. This does not work if p is irrational which is why p must be rational.
How do you subtract rational numbers with the same or different signs?
Suppose x and y are two rational number.Then x = p/q and y = r/s where p, q, r and s are integers, with q and s being non-zero. Then x - y = p/q - r/s = pq/qs - qr/qs = (pq - rs)/qs. The signs of x and y do not matter, in so far as their signs will be used to determine the signs of p,q, r and s.
What is meant by curl of a vector in maths?
In mathematics, the curl of a vector is the maximum rotation on a vector field, oriented perpendicularly to the certain plane. The curl of a vector is defined by this form: ∇ x F = [i . . . . j . . . . . k] [∂/∂x ∂/∂y ∂/∂z] [P. . . Q. . . .R. . ] ...given that F = <P,Q,R> or Pi + Qj + Rk Perform the cross-product of the terms to obtain: ∇ x F = (∂R/∂y - ∂Q/∂z)i + (∂P/∂z - ∂R/∂x)j + (∂Q/∂x - ∂P/∂y)k
Can a 3 X 4 matrix be multiplied by a 4 X 1 matrix?
Yes. If one matrix is p*q and another is r*s then they can be multiplied if and only if q = r and, in that case, the result is a p*s matrix.
