Hey! As you know, a matrix is an array or collection of numbers arranged in rows and columns. Each element in the matrix is identified by its position in the matrix. Matrices are used to solve linear equations.
There are mainly six types of matrices:
- Row Matrix
- Column Matrix
- Square Matrix
- Diagonal Matrix
- Identity Matrix
- Zero Matrix
1. Row Matrix
row matrix is a collection of one row and more than one column.
Example:
2. Column Matrix
Column matrix is a collection of one column and more than one row.
Example:
3. Square Matrix
Square is the matrix in which the number of rows and the number of columns are equal.m x n matrix is said to be square if m=n.
Example:
4. Diagonal Matrix
A square matrix is said to be a diagonal matrix if all its non-diagonal elements are zero; otherwise, it is not a diagonal matrix.
Example:
5. Identity Matrix
The identity matrix is a diagonal matrix with all diagonal elements are 1 and all non-diagonal elements are zero.
Example:
6. Zero Matrix
A matrix is said to be a zero matrix if all its elements are zero.
Example:
I think you get a clear view of the Matrix and its types, comment below for any other questions.
Can we say that a zero matrix is invertible?
No, the zero matrix is not invertible.
