Question
Construct a matrix $A=\left[a_{i j}\right]_{3 \times 2}$ whose elements ay are given by

$a_{i j}=i-3 j$

Answer

$a_{i j}=i-3 j$

$\begin{aligned} & \therefore a_{11}=1-3(1)=1-3=-2 \\ & a_{12}=1-3(2)=1-6=-5 \\ & a_{21}=2-3(1)=2-3=-1 \\ & a_{22}=2-3(2)=2-6=-4 \\ & a_{31}=3-3(1)=3-3=0 \\ & a_{32}=3-3(2)=3-6=-3\end{aligned}$

$\therefore A=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-2 & -5 \\ -1 & -4 \\ 0 & -3\end{array}\right]$
