That's what I said!

-11 is the element of the matrix but how do i find the order of the matrix?

OpenStudy (empty):

The first index on it represents the row number and the second number is the column number. So start at the top left corner, count down, then count to the right by the second number.

OpenStudy (empty):

For instance, \(a_{23} = -8\) in this example.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

This is a 2 part question. The element of the matrix is \[a _{12}\] which is -11. But what is the order of the matrix?

OpenStudy (dan815):

The number of rows and columns that a matrix has is called its order or its dimension. By convention, rows are listed first; and columns, second. Thus, we would say that the order (or dimension) of the matrix below is 3 x 4, meaning that it has 3 rows and 4 columns.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got it now, the order of the element is 2x4 because there are 2 rows and 4 colums

OpenStudy (dan815):

yes that is right osama
