square brackets.
writing of matrix:
2 3
( )
1 4
or
2 3
[ ]
1 4
The order of a matrix is a number that shows the number of rows (m) and the number of
columns (n).
2 3 5
( )
1 4 −7
The above matrix has the order of 3x2
Then
1 4 3 6
𝐵 + 𝐶 = (2 5) + (4 7)
3 6 5 8
1+3 4+6 4 10
= (2 + 4 5 + 7) = (6 12)
3+5 6+8 8 14
Subtraction of matrix
As with addition, subtraction can be done only if two or more matrices have the same order.
subtraction are made for elements that have the same position.
1 4 3 6
𝐵 = (2 5) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐶 = (4 7)
3 6 5 8
Then
3 6 1 4
𝐶 − 𝐵 = (4 7) − (2 5)
5 8 3 6
3−1 6−4 2 2
= (4 − 2 7 − 5) = (2 2)
5−3 8−6 2 2
