Question 5: Construct a 3 x 4 matrix, whose elements are given by:

1
(i) aij = |-3i+j|
2
(ii) aij = 2i - j

Answer 5: (1) Here, aij = |-3i+j|, therefore, the elements of matrix are:
2

1
a11 = | -3 + 1| = 1

(ii) Here, aij = 2i - j , therefore, the elements of matrix are:

a11= 2-1 = 1

a21 = 4-1 = 3

a31= 6-1 = 5

a12= 2-2 = 0

a22= 4-2 = 2

a32 = 6-2 = 4

a13= 2-3 = -1
a23 = 4-3 = 1

a33= 6-3 = 3

a14 = 2-4=-2

a24 =4-4=0

a34 = 6-4=2

1 0 −1 −2
Therefore, matrix = 3
