- 2. An eigenvalue shows how much a vector is stretched or shrunk during a transformation. It's a number linked to an eigenvector
- 4. The determinant is a number that shows if a matrix can be inverted. If it's 0, the matrix has no inverse
- 8. Matrix A square matrix with 1s on the diagonal and Os everywhere else. It's like the number 1 for matrices - it doesn't change other matric when multiplied
- 11. A vector is a list of numbers that shows direction and size. It can represent things like movement or force in space.
- 12. A matrix is a rectangular table of numbers. We use matrices to store data or solve systems of equations
- 14. The rank of a matrix is the number of independent rows or columns. It tells us how much information the matrix really has
- 15. Product Only for 3D vectors, it gives another vector that is perpendicular (at 90°) to the two original ones
Down
- 1. Matrix This is like the "opposite" of a matrix.
- 3. you multiply a matrix by its inverse, the result is the identity matrix
- 5. This is a special vector that doesn't change direction when a transformation is applied. It only gets longer or shorter
- 6. Transformation This is a function that moves vectors from one space to another, while keeping lines straight, Examples include rotations, reflections, and scalings
- 7. of Linear Equations A group of equations where each one is linear. Solving them means finding values of variables that work in all the equations
- 9. product It's a way to multiply two vectors. The result is a single number that tells you how similar their directions are
- 10. A scalar is just a single number. It can be used to multiply a vector or matrix and change its size
- 13. Echelon Form (REF) This is a special form of a matrix used to solve systems more easily. It has zeros below each pivot (leading 1)
- 16. The span of a set of vectors is all the places you can reach using them. It shows what space they cover together.
