- Each matrix has the same number of rows.
- Each matrix has the same number of columns.
- Corresponding elements within each matrix are equal.
Consider the three matrices shown below.
If A = B then we know that x = 34 and y = 54, since corresponding elements of equal matrices are also equal.
We know that matrix C is not equal to A or B, because C has more columns.
- Two equal matrices are exactly the same.
- If rows are changed into columns and columns into rows, we get a transpose matrix. If the original matrix is A, its transpose is usually denoted by A' or At.
- If two matrices are of the same order (no condition on elements) they are said to be comparable.
- If the given matrix A is of the order m x n, then its transpose will be of the order n x m.
- Column matrix - a matrix that has only one column.
- Row matrix - a matrix that has only one row.
