What is the address of the element -5 in the matrix below?
1.) b22
2.) b23
3.) b32
none of these
we have to find address of element -5 in the matrix
We know that
horizontal line represents number of rows
vertical line represents number of columns
We can see that
-5 is in third row
and -5 is in second column
Suppose, we have element in matrix
[tex]b_m_n[/tex]
Here , m is number of rows
and n is number of columns
so, we got
[tex]m=3[/tex]
[tex]n=2[/tex]
now, we can plug these values
and we get
[tex]b_3_2[/tex]............Answer
Answer:
The correct answer option is 3) b32.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following matrix:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}5&-6\\0&1\\3&-5\\-1&7\end{array}\right][/tex]
and we supposed to find the address of the element -5 in it by using the following formula:
[tex]b_m_n[/tex]
where [tex]m[/tex] is number of row; and
[tex]n[/tex] is number of colums.
We can see that element -5 is in the third row and second column of the matrix.
Therefore, the address of element -5 will be [tex]b_3_2[/tex].
