Matrix Calculator

What is a Matrix?

A matrix is a two-dimensional arrangement of numbers, symbols, and expressions. These are arranged in the form of rows and columns. 

Matrices are used to represent and solve systems of linear equations, perform transformations, and analyse data. 

Matrices come in various forms:

• Square Matrix: It has the same number of rows and columns.
• Rectangular Matrix: A matrix that has a different number of rows and columns is called a rectangular matrix.
• Identity Matrix: Its a matrix with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.
• Zero Matrix: A matrix where all elements are zeros.

How to Use the Matrix Calculator?

Using our Matrix Calculator involves a few straightforward steps:

1. Input Matrix Values: Enter the elements of the matrices you want to work with. You can usually input values in a grid format, specifying the number of rows and columns.
2. Select the Operation: Choose the matrix operation you need to perform, such as:

• Addition: Add two matrices of the exact dimensions.
• Subtraction: Subtract one matrix from another, given they have the exact dimensions.
• Multiplication: Multiply two matrices where the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix.
• Determinant: Calculate the determinant of a square matrix.
• Inverse: Find the inverse of a square matrix if it exists.
• Transpose: Swap rows and columns of a matrix.

3. Perform the Calculation: After entering the matrices and selecting the operation, click the “Calculate” button. The calculator will process the data and provide the result.

After performing the selected operation, the result will display the matrix or relevant values, such as determinants or inverses.

Example;

Let’s use an example to demonstrate how the Matrix Calculator works.

Problem: Perform matrix addition with the following matrices:

Matrix A:

For example, Matrix A has two rows and two columns, [1 2], [3 4], [1 3], and [2 4] respectively.

Matrix B:

Suppose Matrix B has two rows and two columns, [5 6], [7 8], [5 7], and [6 8], respectively.

Solution

Step 01: In the first step, you will enter the number of matrixes.

Step 02: In the second step, you will enter the values of rows and columns for each matrix separately. 

Step 03: As soon as you enter the values for both matrixes, click the calculate button to find them. Before clicking, you will specify the function you want to perform with your matrixes, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, etc.

For the details given above, the calculator will show the following results.

Results: The answer will contain the same number of rows and the same number of columns. 

Rows: [6  8] and [10  12]

Columns: [6  10] and [8  12]
