After confirming your input, click on the "Calculate" button.
Result
The calculator will then perform the matrix subtraction, presenting you with the result quickly. To further enhance understanding, the calculator also offers a step-by-step walkthrough detailing each stage of the subtraction operation.
What Is Matrix Subtraction?
Matrix subtraction, a core operation in linear algebra, involves the subtraction of the corresponding elements of two matrices of identical dimensions.
Mathematically, consider two $$$m\times n$$$ matrices $$$A$$$ and $$$B$$$. If $$$a_{ij}$$$ represents the element in the $$$i$$$-th row and $$$j$$$-th column of the matrix $$$A$$$, and similarly, $$$b_{ij}$$$ for the matrix $$$B$$$, then the matrix subtraction operation $$$A-B$$$ results in a new matrix $$$C$$$, also of dimensions $$$m\times n$$$. The elements of $$$C$$$ are calculated as follows:
$$c_{ij}=a_{ij}-b_{ij},$$where $$$c_{ij}$$$ is the element in the $$$i$$$-th row and $$$j$$$-th column of the resulting matrix $$$C$$$.
For example, consider two 2x2 matrices:
$$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}5&3\\2&1\end{array}\right]$$$$B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}4&2\\1&1\end{array}\right]$$The subtraction of the matrix $$$B$$$ from the matrix $$$A$$$ would result in a new matrix:
$$C=A-B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}5-4&3-2\\2-1&1-1\end{array}\right]$$So,
$$C=\left[\begin{array}{cc}1&1\\1&0\end{array}\right]$$Hence, matrix subtraction is simply subtracting the corresponding elements of two matrices to create a new matrix.
