PSAT/SAT Special Symbol Practice • 1. • x = 140 • 25 • r = –1 • E) 11 – a • D) 20 • B) 1 • a = 36 • 27 • 10. xy = 125
Students are allowed to use their own calculators on the PSAT - scientific or graphing calculators are recommended. Students are not allowed to use the following, however: 1. pocket organizers 2. laptops and handheld devices 3. cell phone calculators 4. calculators with a QWERTY keypad 5. calculators that require an electrical outlet Also, students can't share calculators. Math questions on the PSAT can be solved WITHOUT a calculator but students are allowed to use one if they bring their own. We will not be providing students with calculators for the PSAT.
Matrix (matrices) Column 4 Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Row 1 DEFINITION Row 2 Row 3 Row m
A matrix of m rows and n columns is called a matrix with dimensions m x n. That’s Row x Column And a…
Example: Find the dimensions. 2 X 3 3 X 3 2 X 1 1 X 2
What's your address? x21 7 in X 0 in U u11 -5 in P p12 b34 = –7 e32 = –2 – 5 b42 = g21 = –3 b54 = 3 d21 = Does not exist
To add matrices, we add the corresponding elements. They must have the same dimensions. A + B N + O = No can do! Must have the same dimensions!
When a zero matrix is added to another matrix of the same dimension, that same matrix is obtained.
To subtract matrices, we subtract the corresponding elements. The matrices must have the same dimensions.
PRACTICE PROBLEMS: 2.) T + U – S =
Scalar Multiplication: We multiply each # inside our matrix by k.
Solving a Matrix Equation Solve for x and y: 2y – 1 = – 13 – y x + 8 = 14 – x 3y = – 12 y = – 4 2x = 6 x = 3
Solving a Matrix Equation Solve for x and y: Solution Step 1: Simplify
6x+8=26 6x=18 x=3 10-2y=8 -2y=-2 y=1
