Matrix Briefing
Before you proceed to “The Matrix” levels, let’s test your prior
knowledge about matrix by answering the following given questions
Definition 1
•

•
Example 1
Let
4
A= 1 2 and B=
3
Then
4
AB= 1 2 = (1)(4)+(2)(3)= 10
3
Example 2
Let
2
A= 1 -2 1 and B= 3
-1
Then
2
AB= 1 -2 1 3 = (1)(2)+(-2)(3)+(1)(-1)= 2+(-6)+(-1) = -5
-1
Matrix challenge 1
In order to pass this challenge, decode the lock by finding the product
AB in each of provided clues.
MATRIX LEVEL 2
Congratulations of finishing the first level. However in the next level,
instead of a row matrix, the first factor is now a × Matrix so let’s
understand the concept of this level.
Definition 2
Suppose that
and
Example 3
Let
1 2 4
A= and B=
3 -1 3

where Matrix A has size 2×3. The matrix B has size 3×1. Clearly the number
of columns of A is the same as the number of rows of B. The multiplication
can be performed and the result will be a 2 × 1 matrix. Then:

1 1 1 (1)(2)+(1)(3)+(1)(4) 2+3+4 9
A= 3 = = =
-2 1 -3 4 (-2)(2)+(1)(3)+(-3)(4) (-4)+3+(-12) -13
Matrix challenge 2
In this challenge, you must find the combination finding the value of the blocks by
finding the product AB. Then arrange the blocks like a domino.
Z
MATRIX LEVEL 3
Congratulations of finishing the second level. However in this level the
factors are now a × matrix where number of rows of the matrix on left
is equal to the number of columns of the matrix at the right.
Definition 3
Suppose that
and
Example 4
Let:
3 1 2 0
A= and B=
1 2 3 1
Where, matrix A has size 2×2 matrix B has size 2×2. Clearly the
number of columns of A is the same as the number of rows of B. The
multiplication can be performed and the result will be a 2 × 2 matrix. Then:
3 1 2 0
AB=
1 2 3 1
(3)(2)+(1)(3) (3)(0) + (1)(1)
=
(1)(2)+(2)(3) (1)(0) + (2)(1)
6+3 0+1

Matrix challenge 3
In the third challenge, fill the boxes by finding the product ab in its
corresponding colors.
MATRIX recap
The product a m× n matrix to a a n× r matrix is an m× r matrix
the product of a matrix multiplication is not commutative
Two matrices can only ever be multiplied together if the number of
columns in the first is the same as the number of rows in the
second.

MATRIX BONUS LEVEL
First, write a numerical value for each letter( i.e. A=1, B=2, and Z=26,
and space=27). The data should be placed in matrix form i.e. in 2x1 or3x1
matrix form. The data should be multiplied by given encoding matrix.
Then, write the answer (value after multiplying) in linear form.
Bonus Example
M A T H I S F U N
13 1 20 8 27 9 19 27 6 21 14
Next is we break the enumerated message above into a sequence of 3
by 1 matrix.
Then we multiply the given set of to the encoding matrix. the encoding
1 0 -1
matrix is 0 1 0 .
0 -1 1
The columns of this matrix give the encoded message. The message is
transmitted in the following linear form
-7, 1, 19, -1, 27, -18, 13, 27, -21, 21, 14, -14
