where m and n are positive integers, or zero. Also, we note that<br />

but the square root is not unique.<br />

Example 2.4-2<br />

Show that <strong>for</strong> arbitrary matrices A and B:<br />

(a) A B A B ,<br />

(b) AB = B A and<br />

(c) IB = BI= B where I is the identity matrix.<br />

Solution<br />

(a) Let , then in element <strong>for</strong>m and there<strong>for</strong>e C T A + B = C<br />

C is<br />

ij = Aij + Bij<br />

given by<br />

C = C = A + B = A + B<br />

(b) Let AB = C, then in element <strong>for</strong>m<br />

Hence, (AB) T = B T A T .<br />

(c) Let IB = C, then in element <strong>for</strong>m<br />

by the substitution property. Thus, IB = BI = B.<br />

The determinant of a square matrix is <strong>for</strong>med from the square array of<br />

elements of the matrix, and this array evaluated according to established<br />

mathematical rules. The determinant of the matrix A is designated by either<br />

det A, or by , and <strong>for</strong> a 3 × 3 matrix A,<br />
