Matematika kelas XI - Matriks part 1 - Ordo dan Dasar Operasi Matriks

Introduction

This tutorial provides a comprehensive overview of matrix operations, focusing on matrix order and basic operations. Designed for high school students, it will enhance your understanding of matrices, which are fundamental in various fields such as computer science, physics, and statistics.

Step 1: Understanding Matrix Order

• Definition: The order of a matrix is defined by its number of rows and columns, expressed as m x n (m rows and n columns).
• Identifying Matrix Order:
  • Count the number of horizontal lines (rows).
  • Count the number of vertical lines (columns).
  • Example: A matrix with 2 rows and 3 columns is a 2 x 3 matrix.

Step 2: Types of Matrices

• Row Matrix: A matrix with only one row (e.g., 1 x n).
• Column Matrix: A matrix with only one column (e.g., m x 1).
• Square Matrix: A matrix where the number of rows equals the number of columns (e.g., n x n).
• Zero Matrix: A matrix in which all elements are zero.

Step 3: Basic Matrix Operations

Addition and Subtraction

• Condition: Only matrices of the same order can be added or subtracted.
• How to Perform:
  • Add or subtract corresponding elements.
  • Example:

    A = | 1 2 |
        | 3 4 |
    
    B = | 5 6 |
        | 7 8 |
    
    A + B = | 1+5  2+6 | = | 6  8 |
             | 3+7  4+8 |   | 10 12 |
    

Scalar Multiplication

• Definition: Multiplying each element of a matrix by a scalar (a constant).
• How to Perform:
  • Multiply the scalar with each element of the matrix.
  • Example:

    C = 3 * A = 3 * | 1 2 | = | 3  6 |
                      | 3 4 |   | 9 12 |
    

Step 4: Matrix Multiplication

• Condition: The number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix.
• How to Perform:
  • Multiply rows of the first matrix by columns of the second matrix.
  • Example:

    A = | 1 2 |
        | 3 4 |
    
    B = | 5 6 |
        | 7 8 |
    
    A * B = | (1*5 + 2*7) (1*6 + 2*8) | = | 19  22 |
             | (3*5 + 4*7) (3*6 + 4*8) |   | 43  50 |
    

Step 5: Determinant of a Matrix

• Definition: A scalar value that can be computed from the elements of a square matrix.
• 2x2 Matrix Formula: For a matrix

  | a b |
  | c d |
  

  The determinant is calculated as:

  det(A) = ad - bc
  

Conclusion

In this tutorial, we covered the basics of understanding matrices, including their order, types, and fundamental operations such as addition, subtraction, scalar multiplication, and multiplication. We also introduced the concept of determinants. Mastering these concepts will provide a solid foundation for more advanced topics in matrix algebra.
