The General Matrix

\n

A general $m \\times n$ matrix $A$ has $m$ rows and $n$ columns.
The entries in the matrix $A$ are called the elements of $A$.
In matrix $A$ the element in row $i$ and column $j$ is denoted by $a_{ij}$ .

", "advice": "

We are presented with random matrices and asked to identify certain elements of those matrices.

\n

What you need to remember is:

\n

In matrix $A$ the element in row $i$ and column $j$ is denoted by $a_{ij}$ .

\n

 

\n

In easier terms, in the subscript the numbers represent row then column

\n

 

\n

So given the matrix  $A=\\var{A}$

\n

$a_{\\var{n1}\\var{m1}}$ is the element in row $\\var{n1}$ and column $\\var{m1}$. Therefore,  $a_{\\var{n1}\\var{m1}}=\\var{E1}$

\n

 

\n

given the matrix  $B=\\var{B}$

\n

$b_{\\var{n2}\\var{m2}}$ is the element in row $\\var{n2}$ and column $\\var{m2}$. Therefore,  $b_{\\var{n2}\\var{m2}}=\\var{E2}$

\n

 

\n

given the matrix  $C=\\var{C}$

\n

$c_{\\var{n3}\\var{m3}}$ is the element in row $\\var{n3}$ and column $\\var{m3}$. Therefore,  $b_{\\var{n2}\\var{m2}}=\\var{E3}$

\n

 

\n

and

\n

 

\n

$c_{\\var{n4}\\var{m4}}$ is the element in row $\\var{n4}$ and column $\\var{m4}$. Therefore,  $b_{\\var{n2}\\var{m2}}=\\var{E4}$
