Which of the following is a column matrix?
 a. $\left(\begin{array}{c}9\\ 7\\ 7\end{array}\right)$ b. c. $\left(\begin{array}{ccc}- 4& 4& 0\end{array}\right)$ d.

#### Solution:

A matrix which has only one column is called a column matrix.

2.
Which of the following is an identity matrix?
 a. $\left(\begin{array}{cc}0& 1\\ 1& 0\end{array}\right)$ b. $\left(\begin{array}{cc}1& 1\\ 1& 1\end{array}\right)$ c. $\left(\begin{array}{cc}3& 6\\ 7& 5\end{array}\right)$ d. $\left(\begin{array}{cc}1& 0\\ 0& 1\end{array}\right)$

#### Solution:

Identity matrix is a square matrix with 1′s along the main diagonal (from the upper left corner to the lower right corner) and 0′s in all other positions

So, (1001) is the identity matrix.
