Read each question carefully and provide your answers in the space provided. Show all your work for full credit.
1. What is the order (or dimension) of matrix A below?
A = [[2, 5, 1], [7, 0, 4]]
2. Identify the element a_12 (element in the first row, second column) of matrix B.
B = [[-3, 8], [1, -2], [4, 6]]
1. To add or subtract matrices, they must have the same .
2. When multiplying a matrix by a scalar, you multiply element in the matrix by that scalar.
3. For matrix multiplication AB, the number of columns in matrix A must equal the number of in matrix B.
Given matrices P and Q:
P = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]
Q = [[5, 6], [7, 8]]
1. Calculate P + Q.
2. Calculate Q - P.
