Scalar in X-Register
Matrix in X-Register
+
Adds scalar value to each matrix element.
*
Multiplies each matrix element by scalar value.
-
Subtracts scalar value
from each matrix
element.
Subtracts each matrix
element from scalar value.
÷
Divides each matrix
element by scalar value.
Calculates inverse of matrix
and multiplies each element
by scalar value.
* Result matrix may be the specified matrix.
Example: Calculate the matrix B = 2A. then subtract 1 from every element
in B. From before, use

Redimensions matrix B to the
same dimensions as A, multiplies
the elements of A by 2, stores
those values in the corresponding
elements of B, and displays the
descriptor of the result matrix.
