Question

Given the matrix 6 2 -4 0 1 9 what is its order?

Answer 1

The order of a matrix A is denoted by mxn, where n denotes the number of columns and m denotes the number of rows. In our case, we have 3 rows and 2 columns. So, the order of our matrix is given by:

`\begin{gathered} order=m* n \\ order=3*2 \\ \end{gathered}`

That is, the order of our matrix is 3x2.

On the other hand, the product of these number gives the number of elements inside the matrix. So, we can note that there are 6 elements in our matrix.
