4.4 Matrices: Basic Operations
•Addition and subtraction of matrices
•Product of a number k and a matrix M
•Matrix Product.
Addition and Subtraction of matrices
To add or subtract matrices, they must be of the same size
mxn.
To add matrices of the same size, add their corresponding
entries.
! $ ! $
1 2 4 5
A+B=!a +b # # & +# & =
" % " %
" ij ij $ 5 2 9 1
To subtract matrices of the same order, subtract their
corresponding entries. The general rule is as follows using
mathematical notation:
! $ ! $
A!B="a !b $ 1 2 ' 4 5 =
ij ij # & # &
" % " %
# % 5 2 9 1
More examples:
"4 !3 1 % "!1 2 3%
$0 5 !2'+$6 !7 9'
$ ' $ '
$5 !6 0 ' $ 0 !4 8'
# & # &
"4 !3 1 % "!1 2 3%
$0 5 !2'!$6 !7 9'

$5 !6 0 ' $ 0 !4 8'

Scalar Multiplication
The scalar product of a number k and a matrix A is
the matrix denoted by kA, obtained by multiplying
each entry of A by the number k .
The number k is called a scalar.

Example:
"!1 2 3%
