What are the dimensions of a matrix?

Back

The dimensions of a matrix are given in the form of rows x columns (e.g., 3 x 2 means 3 rows and 2 columns).

How do you multiply two matrices?

Back

To multiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix. The resulting matrix will have dimensions equal to the number of rows of the first matrix and the number of columns of the second matrix.

What is the transpose of a matrix?

Back

The transpose of a matrix is obtained by flipping it over its diagonal, turning rows into columns and vice versa.

Front

What is the determinant of a matrix?

Back

The determinant is a scalar value that can be computed from the elements of a square matrix and provides important properties about the matrix, such as whether it is invertible.
