Functions Involving Parameters, Vectors, and Matrices
If each entry in a square matrix is doubled, what happens to its determinant?
It is simply doubled.
It becomes zero unless it was initially zero.
It is multiplied by , where is the size of the square matrix.
It remains unchanged.
If schools X Y Z have student exchange ratios via matrices such that school X receives students from Y but sends none back how would one express subsequent student distributions when original counts were given?
Construct zero-sum exchange ratios within rows/columns respectively representing outgoing/incoming exchanges amongst institutions prior applying these onto initially stated headcounts determining final compositions accurately.
Use determinants capable balancing equations effectively whilst considering singular directional flows truthfully mirroring real scenarios faced daily basis fundamentally.
Implement standard deviation analysis tools based around mean values provided wish establish variability trends possibly arising unpredictably now soon later whatever cases be eventually indeed ...
Summate existing figures alongside constant terms denoting fixed exchanges thus generating predictable outcomes independent any reciprocal relationships inherently present here concernedly.
When using matrices for modeling purposes, if you want to project future trends based on current data, which concept is most relevant?
Inverse matrix
Determinants
Eigenvectors
Matrix powers
If you multiply any matrix by the scalar value of zero, what is the resultant matrix called?
Identity matrix
Zero matrix
Scalar matrix
Unitary matrix
Given a square matrix representing a function, if is its multiplicative inverse, how must and relate when multiplied together?
They cancel each other out to produce a zero matrix when multiplied.
They result in a diagonal matrix with non-zero entries on the diagonal when multiplied.
They yield the identity matrix when multiplied in either order, or .
Multiplying them results in another square matrix with identical elements as .
In order to model population changes in two cities over time with matrices where initial populations are represented as and annual growth rates as in another matrix such that after years; how would you interpret negative elements within ?
Negative elements represent data entry errors as growth rates cannot be negative.
Negative elements in must be set to zero before calculating because they don't make sense contextually.
Positive elements after raising mean some populations eventually became positive again.
Negative elements indicate that there was a percentage decrease in population for those specific entries.
What does the determinant of a 2x2 matrix represent?
ab + cd
a/b - c/d (assuming b and d are not zero)
a + b + c + d
ad - bc

If two compatible matrices are added together what must be true about their dimensions?
The first matrix must have more columns than rows
They must have exactly the same dimensions
They must each have an odd number of elements
The product of their dimensions multiplies into an even number
What size must two matrices be if they are to be added together?
They must have the same number of rows but can have different numbers of columns.
One must be vertical while the other is horizontal.
One must be twice the size of the other.
They must have the same dimensions.
How does pre-multiplying a column vector by an invertible square matrix change if models converting from one coordinate system to another?
It changes from coordinates in one system to equivalent coordinates in another system represented by .
It transforms into a zero vector, indicating loss of information during conversion.
It scales every element of proportionately based on the diagonal values of .
It leaves unchanged because coordinate conversions do not alter point locations.
