If a matrix has 5 elements, write all possible orders it can have.

Answer»

We are given that, 

A matrix has 5 elements. 

We need to find all the possible orders. 

We know that, 

If there is a matrix A, of order m × n. 

Then, 

There are mn elements. 

Or, 

If a matrix has mn elements, then 

The order of the matrix = m × n or n × m 

For example, 

If a matrix is of order 1 × 2, then 

There are 2 elements in the matrix.

[ a11 , a12]1x2 = 2 elements

Or,

If a matrix is of order 2 × 1, then 

There are 2 elements in the matrix.

\( \begin{bmatrix}a_{11} \\[0.3em]a_{21}\\[0.3em]\end{bmatrix}_{2\times1}\) = 2 elements

Similarly, 

If a matrix has 5 elements, then 

The order of this matrix are 1 × 5 or 5 × 1. 

Thus, 

Possible orders of a matrix having 5 elements are 1 × 5 and 5 × 1
