Matrix Operations in Excel

Adding Matrices

  1. Matrix A (2x3):

    • Values:
      | 2 | 3 | -1 |
      | 3 | 4 | 1 |
  2. Matrix B (2x3):

    • Values:
      | 1 | -1 | 2 |
      | 3 | 1 | 2 |
  3. Formula for A + B:

    • Select the 2x3 area for result
    • Enter formula: =A+B
    • Press Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  4. A - B:

    • Same process as addition, but use - instead of +
  5. Scalar Multiplication (e.g., 2A + 3B):

    • Select area, enter: =2*A + 3*B, then Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Multiplying Matrices

  1. Matrix A (2x3) and Matrix B (3x2):

    • A:
      | 2 | -1 | 3 |
      | 3 | 2 | 4 |
    • B:
      | 2 | -4 |
      | 1 | -1 |
      | 3 | 2 |
  2. Resulting Matrix will be (2x2):

    • Select 2x2 area
    • Use formula: =MMULT(A, B) and Ctrl + Shift + Enter
  3. Multiplying B and A will yield a (3x3) matrix:

    • Select 3x3 area, use: =MMULT(B, A), then Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Finding Determinants

  1. Determinant of Matrix A:

    • Use formula: =MDETERM(A) and Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    • Result: 0
  2. Determinant of Matrix B:

    • Same steps as for A
  3. Determinant of AB:

    • Confirm: =MDETERM(MMULT(A,B))
    • Result should also be 0

Finding Inverse of a Matrix

  1. Matrix A (3x3):

    • Values:
      | 3 | 4 | 2 |
      | 0 | 2 | -3 |
      | 1 | 1 | -2 |
  2. Check Determinant:

    • If determinant is not 0, inverse exists
  3. Finding Inverse:

    • Select 3x3 area, use formula: =MINVERSE(A), then Ctrl + Shift + Enter

Transpose of a Matrix

  1. Matrix A (2x3) and Matrix B (3x2):

    • A values:
      | 3 | -1 | 3 |
      | 2 | -4 | 6 |
    • B values:
      | -1 | 6 | -7 |
  2. Transpose:

    • For A: Select 3x2 area, use: =TRANSPOSE(A) and Ctrl + Shift + Enter
    • For B: Select 2x3 area, use: =TRANSPOSE(B) and Ctrl + Shift + Enter
