Basic Properties of Matrices
• (𝐴 + 𝐵) + 𝐶 = 𝐴 + (𝐵 + 𝐶)
• 𝐴 + 𝐵 = 𝐵 + 𝐴
• 𝐴 + 0 = 0 + 𝐴 = 𝐴
• 𝐴 + (−𝐴) = (−𝐴) + 𝐴 = 0
• 𝐴(𝐵𝐶) = (𝐴𝐵)𝐶
• 𝐴𝐼 = 𝐼𝐴 = 𝐴
• If 𝐴 is square matrix and 𝐴−1 exists, then 𝐴𝐴−1 = 𝐴−1𝐴 = 𝐼.
• 𝐴(𝐵 + 𝐶) = 𝐴𝐵 + 𝐴𝐶 , (𝐵 + 𝐶)𝐴 = 𝐵𝐴 + 𝐶𝐴

• If 𝐴 = 𝐵, then 𝐶𝐴 = 𝐶𝐵 and 𝐴𝐶 = 𝐵𝐶
Matrix Equation: 𝐴𝑋 = 𝐵 → 𝑋 = 𝐴−1𝐵, provided 𝐴 is square and 𝐴−1 exists.
