Matrix/Matrices [in RUN-MAT]
This area of the calculator utilises all of Matrix addition, subtraction and multiplication properties.
Transformation Geometry can be investigated or linear programming, up to 8 variables i.e. A
matrix size of order 8 x 8. You can edit up to 26 different matrices of differing order and there is
an automatic space for the answer matrix.
Dene the matrices in the usual way, rstly its order rows x columns. Then enter the matrix
values. You ‘do’ the operations in RUN-MAT mode. Via [F1] dene the matrix dimensions, enter
in the values of each matrix then to +, - or × open OPTN then [F2] for the Matrix operations.
Factorisation checking [in RUN-MAT] cont.
The result 1 indicates correct factorisation.
The result 0 indicates incorrect factorisation.
