| Matrix
Operations
Everyone remembers how
much fun matrices were in Algebra II. Well, they're back! Glad
you learned that stuff, aren't ya? Seeing as you enjoyed Matrices
soooo much in Algebra II, Mr. Ford made this section the independant
study unit this year. HAHAHA!!! In this section, you will
learn how to find the sum, difference and scalar multiples of matrices.
You will also learn to find the product of two matrices, how to find
the inverse of a 2x2 matrix and to solve linear systems using
matrices. The best part is that you don't really learn any
equations. This stuff is straightforward addition, subtraction,
and/or multiplication. To make up for the lack of equations,
there are plenty of Properties. The hardest part of this section
is making the inverses. For any matrix greater than 2x2 that
you have to find the inverse for, you get to use your calculator.
One section left to study!
