Simplify the Matrix R=[[5,8],[1,2]]

Problem

R=[[5,8],[1,2]]

Solution

1. Identify the given matrix R The matrix is a 2×2 square matrix with integer entries.

2. Analyze the task. The instruction to "simplify" a matrix with constant numerical entries usually implies checking if there is a common scalar factor that can be factored out of all elements.

3. Check for common factors. The elements are 5, 8, 1, 2.T*h*e*g*r*e*a*t*e*s(t)*c*o*m*m*o*n*d(i)*v*i*s(o)*r*o*ƒ*t*h*e*s(e)*ƒ*o*u*r*i*n*t*e*g*e*r*s(i)*s()$.

4. Conclude that since there are no common factors other than 1 and no variables or operations to perform, the matrix is already in its simplest form.

Final Answer

R=[[5,8],[1,2]]
