Question

What is the sum of the matrices below ?

Answer 1

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&19&-5\\7&0&-14\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-8&7&0\\-1&17&6\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&26&-5\\6&17&-8\end{array}\right]`

Explanation:

To add two matrices you just need to add the corresponding entries together. In this case, we have that:

Then, we conclude that the sume of the two matrices is:

`\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&19&-5\\7&0&-14\end{array}\right] + \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-8&7&0\\-1&17&6\end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}-4&26&-5\\6&17&-8\end{array}\right]`
