Here you will learn what is the identity or unit matrix definition with examples.<\/p>\n
Let’s begin –<\/p>\n
Definition<\/strong> : A square matrix<\/a> A = \\([a_{ij}]_{n\\times n}\\) is called a identity or unit matrix if<\/p>\n
(i) \\(a_{ij}\\) = 0 for all i \\(\\ne\\) j and,<\/p>\n
(ii) \\(a_{ii}\\) = 1, for all i<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
In other words, a diagonal matrix<\/a> in which all the diagonal elements is unity is called the unit matrix.<\/p>\n
The identity matrix of order n is denoted by \\(I_n\\).<\/p>\n
