Chapter 6 Matrices and Linear Systems
Objectives In this chapter, you will… • Review properties of real numbers • Use matrices to organize information • Add, subtract, and multiply matrices • Solve systems of linear equations with matrices • Graph inequalities on a coordinate plane and solve systems of inequalities • Write and graph inequalities that represent conditions that must be met simultaneously.
Key Terms in Chapter 6 • Matrices - rectangular arrangements of numbers to organize information and solve problems • Commutative - two numbers can be multiplied in either order and get the same results • Counterexample - a single case where a property doesn't hold true • Transition Diagrams - a diagram that shows how something changes from one time to the next • Dimensions - give the numbers of the rows and columns (rows x columns) • Feasible Region - the set of points that is the solution to a system of inequalities containing two variables
Key Terms cont. • Entry/Element - a number in the matrix • Scalar Multiplication - the multiplication of a matrix by a number • Scalar - the number the matrix is multiplied by • Matrix Addition - the addition of two matrices • Matrix Multiplication - the multiplication of two matrices • Identity Matrix - the square matrix that does not alter the entries of a square matrix [A] under multiplication • Linear Programming - the process of finding a feasible region and determining the point that gives the maximum or minimum value to a specific expression
Key Terms cont. • Inverse Matrix - the matrix that will produce an identity matrix when multiplied by [A] • Augmented Matrix - a single matrix that contains columns for the coefficients of each variable and a final column for the constant terms • Row Reduction Method - transforms and augmented matrix into a solution matrix • Reduced Row-Echelon Form - a matrix where each row is reduced to a 1 and a solution and the rest of the matrix entries are 0's • Inequality - an algebraic statement of a situation where there is a range of possible values • Constraints - all of the limitations of a system of inequalities • Vertex - the corner of a region that satisfies an inequality
Matrices Have A Variety of Uses • Matrices are used to organize many kinds of information • Matrices provide ways to organize data about things such as inventory or the coordinates of vertices of a polygon. • They can be used to solve systems of equations. • They are used to show how numbers in two different categories change over time. • They can be used to organize the vertices of a geometric figure on a coordinate plane. • Once the information is organized, matrices can then be added, subtracted, and multiplied to help solve the problem.

Matrices in the Real World • In the real world, a matrix can be used to display any kind of information. • Example: If a matrix had a table like this: It would be turned into a matrix like this: 9 16 8 11 14 12
Matrices in the Real World cont. • Matrices are also used in computer programming and animation. • Examples: • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yW6UKpyeM8 • http://www.mathwarehouse.com/algebra/matrix/matix-movie-effect.php
