1. An array of numbers or other elements which are arranged in rows and columns is called
A. a curve B. a determinant C. a graph D. a matrix

2. Evaluate[


].
A. -7 B. -1 C. 1 D. 7

Solution:
[


] = [(3)(1)] [(2)(-2)] = 3 + 4 = 7

3. Write the minor of the element 5 for [



]
A. [


] B. [


] C. [


] D. [


]

Solution:
[



] = [


]

4. A matrix that has the same number of rows as columns is called a
A. rectangular matrix C. square matrix
B. second order matrix D. triangular matrix

5. Find the inverse of [

6. If [


] = 8, then x = ?
A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4

Solution:
[


] = 3x (2)(-1) = 8
3x = 8 2
3x = 6 ; x = 2



7. Using Cramers Rule to solve for x in the system {

} , we have x =

[


]
. What must
be the value of N?
A. -1 B. 0 C. 1 D. 2

Solution:
a
1
= 1 , b
1
= -1 , k
1
= 5

a
2
= 2 , b
2
= -1 , k

8. If R is a 2 by 2 matrix, which of the following is R
-1
. R?

A. [


] B. [


] C. [


] D. [


]

9. For two matrices P and Q, which of the following statements must be true so that the product
PQ is defined?
A. The number of rows in P is equal to the number of columns in Q.
B. The number of columns in P must be equal to the number of rows in Q.
C. Either P is a square matrix or Q is a square matrix.
D. P and Q have the same number of rows and columns.

10. Given P = [


] and Q = [


], find P Q.
Solution:
P = [


] ; Q = [


]

P Q = [
( ) ( ) ( )
( ()) ( ) ( ())
] = [


]

11. Which matrix does not have an inverse?

[


] B. [


] C. [


] D. [


]



The inverse of a matrix is exclusive for square matrices only.






12. Find the product: [


] [



]

A. [


] B. [


] C. [


] D. [


]

Solution:
[


] [



]

= [
[() () ()] [( ) () ()]
[() () ()] [( ) () ()]
] = [


]

To answer #13-17, refer to matrix P = [



] and its expansion by minors about the
first row: |



| |


| || |


|
= c + 0 +d
= e

13. a =
A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 3

14. B =
A. [


] B. [


] C. [


] D. [


]

15. c =
A. -18 B. -12 C. -10 D. -6

16. d =
A. 54 B. 18 C. -18 D. -54

17. e =
A. -66 B. -34 C. -20 D. -13

Solutions: (13-17)
[



] = 2 [


] - 5 [


] + 3 [


]

= 2 (-2 - 4) 5 (-6 - 6) + 3 (-12 - 6)

= 2 (-6) 5 (0) + 3 (-18)

= -12 - 0 54



= -66
18. Find KP for K = -4 and P = [


].
A. [


] C. [


]

B. [


] D. [


]

Solution:
K = -4 ; P = [


]
KP = 4 [


]

= [


]

[


] (D)


19. Given the matrix [



], the cofactor of 3 is
A. -5 B. -4 C. 5 D. 4

Solution:

[



], cofactor of 3 = [



] = [


]

det [


] = [(5) (-1)] [(1) (0)] = -5
