Question
Construct a $2 \times 2$ matrix $A = [a_{ij}]$ whose elements $a_{ij}$ are give by: $\frac{(\text{i}+\text{j})^2}{2}$

Answer

Here,
$\text{a}_{11}=\frac{(1+1)^2}{2}=\frac{(2)^2}{2}=\frac{4}{2}=2,$ $\text{a}_{12}=\frac{(1+2)^2}{2}=\frac{(3)^2}{2}=\frac{9}{2}$
$\text{a}_{21}=\frac{(2+1)^2}{2}=\frac{(3)^2}{2}=\frac{9}{2},$ $\text{a}_{22}=\frac{(2+2)^2}{2}=\frac{(4)^2}{2}=\frac{16}{2}=8$
So, the required matrix is $\begin{bmatrix}2\frac{9}{2}\\\frac{9}{2}8\end{bmatrix}.$
