Algebraic Properties of Matrices

In this page we are going to algebraic properties of matrices we are going to see some properties in the concept matrix.

Matrix Addition is Commutative:

If A and B are any two matrices of the same order then A+B = B+A. This property is known as commutative property of matrix addition.

Now let us find A + B

A+B=

0 7 -3 11

+

-3 1 -7 0

A+B=	0+(-3) 7+1 -3+(-7) 11+0

A+B=	-3 8 -10 11

Now let us find B + A

B+A=

-3 1 -7 0

+

0 7 -3 11

B+A=	(-3)+0 1+7 (-7)+(-3) 0+11

B+A=	-3 8 -10 11

Matrix Addition is Associative:

If A,B and C are any three matrices of same order then A+(B+C) = (A+B)+C. This is the property of matrix addition.

Now let us find B + C

B+C=

2 3 7 6

+

5 2 3 1

B+C=

(2+5) (3+2) (7+3) (6+1)

B+C=

7 5 10 7

Now we have to find A + (B+C)

A+(B+C)=

1 2 3 1

+

7 5 10 7

A+(B+C)=

(1+7) (2+5) (3+10) (1+7)

A+(B+C)=

8 7 13 8

Now let us find A + B

A+B=

1 2 3 1

+

2 3 7 6

Now we have to add corresponding terms

A+B=

(1+2) (2+3) (3+7) (1+6)

A+B=

3 5 10 7

Now we have to add A+B with C.

(A+B)+C=

3 5 10 7

+

5 2 3 1

A+(B+C)=

(3+5) (5+2) (10+3) (7+1)

A+(B+C)=

8 7 13 8

Additive Identity:

Let A be any matrix then A + O = 0 + A = A. This property i called additive property of matrix identity.

To check this,first we have to add A + O

A+O=

1 2 3 5

+

0 0 0 0

A+O=

(1+0) (2+0) (3+0) (5+0)

A+O=

1 2 3 5

Now we have to add O+A

O+A=

0 0 0 0

+

1 2 3 5

O+A=

(0+1) (0+2) (0+3) (0+5)

A+O=

1 2 3 5

Additive Inverse:

Let A be any matrix then A + (-A) = (-A) + A = o. This property is called as additive inverse. The zero matrix is also known as identity element with respect to matrix addition.
