Key Terms

Matrix
A rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns.

Example: A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]

Determinant
A scalar value that can be computed from the elements of a square matrix, indicating its invertibility.

Example: det(A) = ad - bc for A = [[a, b], [c, d]]

Inverse Matrix
A matrix that, when multiplied by the original matrix, yields the identity matrix.

Example: If A is invertible, then A × A⁻¹ = I.

Identity Matrix
A square matrix with ones on the diagonal and zeros elsewhere.

Example: I = [[1, 0], [0, 1]]

Scalar
A single number that can multiply a matrix.

Example: If k = 2, then kA = [[2, 4], [6, 8]] for A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]].

Row Echelon Form
A form of a matrix where all non-zero rows are above any rows of all zeros.

Example: A matrix in row echelon form might look like [[1, 2], [0, 1]].
