a matrices review..

Prom is next saturday:D but im sure you guys already know :) im kinda excited about it too. But anyways,I cant seem to find my chapter six notes so ill blog about something we did a while back. Matrices, yayyy. Just like every other area of advanced math, matrices are tedious.

Here are the matrices rule:

When adding matrices, they must be of the same dimensions. The same goes for subtracting

Ex. A 4x3 matrices can only be added to a 4x3 matrices

When multiplying matrices, you can only multiply matrices that have the same columns and rows.

Ex. 3x3* 1x2 the column of the first are equal to the rows of the second.

You cannot technically divide a matrices, to "divide" a matrices, you simply multiply by the inverse..

finding the inverse.

0 1

1 0 = 0-1=-1 = 1/-1* 0 1

1 0 = 0 -1

-1 0
