Pre Calculus Chapter 8 Systems of Equations and Inequalities
Substitution Method • Solve for 1 variable • Substitute this value or equation into the other equation • Find an answer • Plug this answer into the other equation to find your solution
Elimination (Combination) Method • Multiply 1 or more equations by some constant to get coefficients to cancel • Add/subtract equations as necessary • Back Substitute • Smile
Number of Solutions • The system can have exactly 1 solution • The system can have no solution • The system can have infinitely many solutions
Number of Solutions • A system that has no solution is said to be inconsistent • A system with infinitely many solutions is called dependent
Modeling With Equations • A woman rows a boat upstream from one point to another point 4 miles away in 1 ½ hours. The return trip, downstream, takes 45 minutes. How fast is she rowing relative to the water and at what speed is the current flowing?

Modeling • A biologist has two brine solutions, one containing 5% salt and another containing 20% salt. How many milliliters of each solution should he mix to obtain 1 L of a solution that is 14% salt?
Solving • Same methods as any system of equations • Goal: Triangular form
What Can We do? • Add a nonzero multiple of one equation to another. • Multiply an equation by a nonzero constant • Interchange the positions of two equations
Applications • You receive an inheritance of $50,000. You would like to invest all of this money into three different funds: Money-market fund, blue-chip stock, and high-tech stock. Your broker estimates the MM will earn 5% this year, the BC 9%, and the HT 16%. Your goal is to get a $4000 return the first year. However, to avoid excess risk, you decide to invest 3 times more in the MM as the HT. How much do you need to invest in each fund?
Curve Fitting • We know that any quadratic can be written in the form: • Since we are finding 1 equation for 3 points, we use the same a, b, and c values
Curve Fitting • Find the equation of the quadratic that passes through the following points:
What is a Matrix? • Matrix • Rectangular array of numbers • Dimensions • Rows x Columns • Entries • Elements
Equality of Matrices • Two matrices are equal iff: • They have the same dimensions • Corresponding entries are equal
Matrices • An m x n matrix is an array of numbers with m rows and n columns
Matrices • Row Operations: • Add a multiple of one row to another • Multiply a row by a non-zero constant • Interchange 2 rows
Matrices • Solve the following linear system:
Row-echelon form (REF) • First non-zero number in each row is 1 • Triangle Form • Any all zero rows are at bottom of matrix
Reduced row-echelon form (RREF) • Every Number above and below each leading entry is a 0
Solutions to Matrices • No Solution • One Solution • Infinite Solutions
Algebra of Matrices • Addition: • Equal dimensions • Add corresponding entries • Difference of matrices • Subtract corresponding entries • Scalar Product • Multiplying a matrix by a constant • Multiply each element by the scalar
Adding and Subtracting Matrices • Example:
Adding and Subtracting Matrices • Example:
Scalar Multiplication • Any matrix can be multiplied by a real number constant, called a scalar • This is called scalar multiplication
Scalar Multiplication • Example:
