Naming Matrices

Note: A Matrix is named by the

number of rows and columns it has.

Rule: The number of rows comes

first followed by the number of

columns (Rows x Columns)

Solving Systems of Equations

Step 1: Write the system as a

matrix. The coefficients are the

elements

Step 2: Use the commands below

to enter into the calculator

Press 2ND (blue button)

Press X-1 Matrix (blue)

Press (to highlight edit)

Press Enter

Enter the matrix size

Press (2) Enter

Press (3) Enter

Now Enter the Elements (Press enter after each element)

Use (-) for negative numbers

Matrices Solving Systems of Equations

Definition: Matrix (plural is matrices)-A

rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions,

arranged in rows and columns. The individual items in a

matrix are called its elements or entries.

Example: 3 x 4 Matrix with 12 elements

Example: 2y – 3x = 19

3y + 3x = -9

Note: The solution is the last column of the matrix

and follows the order of the variable in the system.

Caution 1: The rest of the matrix must have ones on

the diagonal and zeroes everywhere else.

Matrices Solving Systems of Equations

Definition: Matrix (plural is matrices)- A

rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions,

arranged in rows and columns. The individual items in a

matrix are called its elements or entries.

Example: 3x + y = 10

-2x - y = 5

Example: r + s = 8

r - s = 9

Example: a = -2

4b – 3a = 18

Note: The solution is the last column of the matrix

and follows the order of the variable in the system.

Matrices Solving Systems of Equations

Example: Solve the following system of equations

by Matrices. 6x − 12y = 24 −x − 6y = 4

Example: −16 + 20x − 8y = 0

36 = −18y − 22x

Example: −9 + 5y = −4x

−11x = −20 + 9y

Example: −25 = 5y

Graphing Linear Inequalities

Definitions:

Linear Inequality-A linear

expression that divides a plane into

2 parts using the symbols (<,>,≤

or≥) such that one part of the

plane is the solution

Less than (<): The solution is

below the equation of the line and

does not include the line. Use a dashed line

Step 1: Write the equation in

slope intercept form.

Step 2: Make certain the slope is

expressed as a fraction.

Step 3: Locate the y-intercept on

the graph.

Step 4: With your pencil on the y-

intercept, count out the change in

the y-values—the rise (do not lift your pencil)

Step 5: Now count out the change

in the x-values—the run.

Step 6: Connect the points with a

dashed line

Hint: For a (<) shade below the

line.—If the line falls down, it will

fall on the shaded portion.

Step 3: Locate the y-intercept on

the graph.

Step 4: With your pencil on the y-

intercept, count out the change in

the y-values—the rise (do not lift your pencil)

Step 5: Now count out the change

in the x-values—the run.

Step 6: Connect the points with a

dashed or solid line and shade

Less than (<): The solution is

below the equation of the line and

does not include the line. Use a dashed line

Less than or equal to (≤): The

solution is below the equation of

the line and includes the line.

Use a solid line

Greater than or equal to (≥):

The solution is above the equation

of the line and includes the line.

Use a solid line

Greater than (>): The solution is

above the equation of the line and

does not include the line. Use a dashed line

Main Idea

Graphing the Vertex Form of

the Equation

y = a (x – h)2 + k

Step 1: Write the ordered pair

for the vertex (h, k) & graph.

Caution: h lies & k tells the truth

Step 2: Identify & write “a”

(Write “a” as a fraction)

Step 3: Finding x-values

Place your pencil on the vertex &

count out the denominator of “a”

The denominator is the x-

direction

Plug the resulting x-value into

the equation and solve for y

Plot and record the resulting

ordered pair

Hint: If the denominator of “a”

is even, place your pencil on the

vertex & count ½ of the

denominator of “a”

Step 4: Graph a point equal distant

from the line of symmetry.

Main Idea

Graphing Intercept Form Of a Quadratic Function

Step 1: Change the sign of the

values inside the parenthesis and

record them as ordered pairs with

y=0 (these are your roots/x-intercepts)

Step 2: Graph the x-intercepts

Step 3: Add the X-values

together and divide the total by 2.

Step 4: Plot the value found in

step 3 on the x-axis and draw a

vertical line through it. x = # (this is your line of symmetry)

Step 5: Plug the resulting x-value

found in step 3 into the equation

and solve for y

Step 6: Create an ordered pair

using the x-value from step 3 and

the y-value from step 5. Graph it. This is the vertex

Step 7: Connect the points with a

curve.

Rule 1: If is < 1 the parabola

is wider than the parent function.

Rule 2: If is > 1 the parabola

is narrower than the parent

function.

Step 2: Graph the line of symmetry

To find “x =”, plug in a & b into

the line of symmetry equation

Step 3: Graphing the vertex

To find “y”, plug the x-value found

in step 2 into the original equation

and solve

Step 4: Finding more points

Place your pencil on the vertex &

count out the denominator of “a”

The denominator is the x-

direction

Plug the resulting x-value into

the equation and solve for y

Plot and record the resulting

ordered pair

Hint: If the denominator of “a”

is even, place your pencil on the

vertex & count ½ of the

denominator of “a”

Step 5: Graph a point equal-

distant from the line of symmetry.

Note: y-values will be the same.

Step 5: Connect points with a curve

Step 6: If possible, plot the y-

intercept and a point equal-distant

Variable: a symbol for a number that we don’t

Coefficient: a number that is used to multiply or

divide a variable.

Term: a constant or variable which is separated by

either a (+) or (-).

something in parenthesis is equal to that number

If the variable’s exponent is Even

1. Write the variable outside the

radical.

2. Divide the exponent by 2-the

result is the variable’s exponent

Note: If the exponent is even, the

variable will not be under the

radical.

Note: If the number under the

radical is negative make it positive

& place an “i” outside the radical.

If the variable’s exponent is Odd

1. Write the variable under the

radical

2. If the exponent is > “1” Write the variable outside

radical.

Subtract 1 from the exponent

Divide the resulting exponent

by two-this is the variable’s

exponent outside of the radical

Like Terms-If the variables are the same just add or

subtract the coefficients. If the variables are

Simplifying Exponents of Imaginary Numbers

Rule 1: i1 = i

Rule 2: i2 = -1

Rule 3: i3 = -i

Rule 4: i4 = 1 and i0 = 1

Rule 5: No Imaginary numbers in

the denominator.

Step 1: Divide the exponent(s) of

“i” by 4

Step 2: Determining the value of

“i” to a power

If the decimal is .25-then “i”

If the decimal is .50-then “-1”

If the decimal is .75-then “-i”

If the decimal is .00-then “1”

Step 3: If “i” is in the denominator,

multiply the fraction by 𝒊

𝒊 .

Step 4: Divide the exponent(s) of

“i” by 4. Simplify using rules above.

Step 5: Reduce the fraction

**Note: Every base has an

exponent. (If no exponent is

shown, then the exponent is 1)

Difference of 2 squares

Definition: Conjugate-Changing of

the signs between 2 terms

Multiplying Polynomials in the

form of (a+b)(a-b)

Rule 1: The 1st terms of both

binomials must be equal

Step 1: Square the 1st term and

write it down.

Step 2: Square the 2nd term and

write it down.

Remember: When squaring a

term, always square both the

variable and the coefficient.

Rule 1: The 1st terms of both

binomials must be equal

Step 1: Square the 1st term and

write it down.

Step 2: Square the 2nd term and

term, always square both the

variable and the coefficient.

Remember: If a variable or “i”

does not have a number in front of

it, the coefficient is 1.
