* Note – when I teach this to my students, we use post its to cover the row/column we aren’t using!
Used to solve systems of equations!!
Selected Matrix Rules: A + B = B + ACommutative law of addition (A+B)+C = A+(B+C)Associative law of addition (AB)C = A(BC)Associative law of multiplication A(B+C) = AB+ACLeft distributive law (A+B)C = AC + BCRight distributive law (A T ) T = ADouble transpose rule (AB) T = B T A T Reverse product transpose rule k(AB) = (kA)B = A(kB)A mixed scalar and matrix multiplication rule
