Let’s learn the different types of matrices

Β 

Column matrices

A column matrix only has 1 column

Example Β

Example

Types of matrices - Part 2

So, column matrix is of the order m Γ— 1

We write it as

Β  A = [a ij ] m Γ— 1

Β 

Row matrices

A row matrix only has 1 row

Β 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 3

So, row matrix is of the order 1 Γ— n

We write it as

Β  A = [a ij ] 1 Γ— n

Β 

Square matrix

A square matrix has equal number of rows & columns

Β 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 4

So, a square matrix is of the order m Γ— m

We write it as

Β  A = [a ij ] m Γ— m

Β 

Diagonal matrix

In A diagonal matrix, the non-diagonal of element are zero.

A diagonal matrix is possible only in a square matrix

Β 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 5

Β 

So, in a diagonal matrix

  • It is should be a square matrix
  • Non-diagonal elements are 0

Scalar matrix

A scalar matrix is a diagonal matrix where diagonal elements are equal

Β 

Example

Types of matrices - Part 6

So, in a scalar matrix

  • It is a square matrix
  • Non diagonal elements are 0
  • Diagonal elements are equal

Identity matrix

An identity matrix is a diagonal matrix where all diagonal elements are 1

Types of matrices - Part 7

Β 

So, in a Identity matrix

  • It is a square matrix
  • Non diagonal elements are 0
  • All diagonal elements are 1

Note : An identity matrix is a scalar matrix
