E N D
Solve systems with unique solutions using determinants & Cramer’s Rule • Coefficient matrix
3 X 3 Matrices Coefficient matrix
Augmented Matrices • Contain coefficients & constants from a system • Each row of matrix represents an equation • EX:
Row Operations • Use 1 or more to solve systems using augmented matrices • Switch any 2 rows • Multiply a row by a constant • Add one row to another • Combine one or more of these steps
Using a graphing calculator • Enter the augmented matrix as matrix A • Use the rref feature of your graphing calculator • The last column represents the solution • Use a graphing calculator to solve the system:
