How would I do these Matrices?

1.
|1/2 14
10 -8|

2,
Let matrix A = [8 -2
4 7 ]
Let matrix B = 2A, Find b_22

1.

What do you want to do to it? Find the determinant?
If so
(1/2)(-8) - (14)(10)
= -4 -140
= -144

2.
2*7 = 14

Is this right then?

|12 -21
-2 -2/3|

answer-1/50

| 12 -21 |

| -2 -2/3|

12(-2/3) -(-21*-2)
= -8 - 42
= -50

What about this one? Correct?

|1 0
0 1|
The answer would be 1

Yes.

To solve the given matrix problems, we will use basic matrix operations.

For the first problem, we are given a 2x2 matrix:

|1/2 14|
|10 -8|

To perform matrix operations, we can use the following steps for matrix addition, subtraction, and scalar multiplication:

1. Matrix Addition: Add corresponding elements from two matrices.
2. Matrix Subtraction: Subtract corresponding elements from two matrices.
3. Scalar Multiplication: Multiply each element of a matrix by a scalar value.

Now, let's solve the first problem step by step:

1. Matrix Addition:
To add two matrices, say matrix A and matrix B, we need to add their corresponding elements. In this case, we only have one matrix.

The given matrix:
|1/2 14|
|10 -8|

2. Matrix Subtraction:
Similar to matrix addition, we subtract corresponding elements from two matrices. However, we only have one matrix in this case.

The given matrix:
|1/2 14|
|10 -8|

3. Scalar Multiplication:
Scalar multiplication means multiplying each element of a matrix by a scalar. In this case, we do not have to perform scalar multiplication.

The given matrix:
|1/2 14|
|10 -8|

So, here we have performed the basic matrix operations.

Now moving to the second problem:

We are given two matrices, A and B.

Matrix A:
|8 -2|
|4 7|

Matrix B:
B = 2A, which implies that we need to multiply matrix A by 2.

To find the element at the second row and second column in matrix B, i.e., b_22:

1. Multiply each element of matrix A by 2:

2 * |8 -2|
|4 7|

Resulting matrix B:
|16 -4|
|8 14|

The element at the second row and second column in matrix B, b_22, is 14.

So, the answer to the second problem is b_22 = 14.
