Math Problem Statement

Refer to matrix B and identify the matrix element b11.

Refer to matrix B and identify the matrix element b11.

Solution

The matrix BB given in the image is:

B=[6312]B = \begin{bmatrix} 6 & -3 & \frac{1}{2} \end{bmatrix}

Matrix elements are typically denoted as bijb_{ij}, where ii represents the row number and jj represents the column number.

Here, b11b_{11} refers to the element in the first row and the first column of the matrix BB.

So, b11=6b_{11} = 6.
