Question

matrices help!

Answer 1

whats your guess?

Answer 2

would the element be 32?

Answer 3

split it up ... 3 2

Answer 4

the element is just an entry in a matrix called \(\large e\)

Answer 5

the matrix has a dimension, assuming 2 dimensions ... made of rows and columns ...
rows, and columns .... rows and columns:\[\Large M_{r\times c}\]

Answer 6

any ideas come to mind?

Answer 7

so it would be 3*2=6 so 6 would be the row!

Answer 8

of course not ...
\[\Large M_{r\times c}\]
\[\Large M_{rc}\]
\[\Large e_{rc}\]
\[\Large e_{32}\]

Answer 9

i would agree that the notation needs to be better defined, maybe like a point: 3,2 since you can have more then 10 rows and 10 columns something like 123432 becomes unreadable as opposed to 1234,32

Answer 10

so 123432 would be the rows

Answer 11

im not real sure why you would assume that from a random example ....

Answer 12

the element in your problem has numbers assigned to it that define the row and the column it is in ... that 3 and that 2 relate to some r and some c.
