Multipying Matrices

This is as good as you can do! AWESOME!!!
Multipying Matrices: "

Scalar multiplication is when you distribute the number outside the matrix to all the numbers inside the brackets.
To multiply matrices, you first need to write a dimension statement. The dimension statement basically states that the columns of the first matrix must match the rows of the other matrix
For example:
2 x 2 2 x 2

2 x 2 times 2 x 2

The numbers highlighted show that the matrices can be multiplied, since the inside numbers are the same.


2 x 2 times 2 x 2


These numbers become the dimensions for the product matrix.

After you determined that the matrices can be multiplied, then you start to multiply them together. To do this, you would multiply the first row of the first matrix with the column of the second matrix. More specifically, you would multiply the first number of the first row on the first matrix with the first number of the first column of the second matrix. You then add the products together and thats the first number of the product matrix. You repeat this until all the numbers of both the matrices have been multiplied, giving you your product matrix.

Muliplying Matrices

Here Jordan Bayne explains the concept of dimension statement. I can really see he knows what is going on! Really nice!!!

Muliplying Matrices: "Before you can begin to multiply matrices you need determine whether or not the matrices can be multiplied. To do that you must write a dimension statement.

[3 4] [1 2 3]
[5 6] [4 5 6]
[7 8]
The dimension statement for this would be 3X2 times 2X3.
  • The numbers on the inside (in red) must be the same to carryout the multiplication process
  • The numbers on the outside (in blue) tell what the dimension of the solution will be. In this particular problem, the solution will be a 3 X 3 matrix.
If the two matrices can be multiplied, you then multiply row X column and add the sum of the products to get the solution to the problem.

Dimensions of a Matrix

Here is a good one from Alex Reid!!!
Dimensions of a Matrix: "
The dimensions of a matrix refer to the number of rows and number columns of a given matrix.

The rows of a matrix are the numbers going horizontally.

The columns of a matrix are the numbers going vertically.

To find the dimensions of a matrix you must multiply the (number of rows x the number of columns). The dimensions for the matrix above would be (2 rows x 3 columns). The dimension of the matrix is 2 by 3 or (2x3).

Dimensions of a Matrix

This looks like a good start!  However, this student needs to add something about the square matrices and the matrix that is the identity matrix.  These are important concepts that you need to be able to identify!

Dimensions of a Matrix: "To count matrices you count row X column

This matrix is one row by three columns, so it is a 1 x 3 matrix.




This matrix is three rows by three columns, so this is a 3 x 3 matrix.






This matrix is three rows by two columns, so it is a 3 x 2 matrix.







This is another three rows by three columns, so this is a 3 x 3 matrix.

Matrice multiplication

To multiply matrices you have to do ROW X COLUMN sum of the products.....

You will repeat this process several times...

Matrix Operations

This is the information used to introduce matrices

We started matrices!



You will need these images to describe how to find the dimensions of a matrix.

Row X Column, identify the ones that are square and the identity matrix!  Find the video on brightstorm, look on purplemath or any other math website to find other examples...use google images to see if you can find standing, price lists, anything that could be represented using matrices!!!

This picture is for fun....
These images you need for blogging!

Count the rows and columns, show how to identify the dimensions

Case 2
Case 3
graph of intersecting lines
graph of parallel lines
graph with one apparent line




Independent system:
one solution point
Case 2
Case 3
graph of intersecting lines
graph of parallel lines
graph with one apparent line


Independent system:
one solution and
one intersection point
Inconsistent system:
no solution and
no intersection point
Case 3
graph of intersecting lines
graph of parallel lines
graph with one apparent line




Independent and consistent system:
one solution and
one intersection point
Inconsistent system:
no solution and
no intersection point
Dependent system:
the solution is the
whole line
graph of intersecting lines
graph of parallel lines

Error Analysis - This one is perfect!

  • For this particular problem the value of x is going up by 5, so the slope should be 10/5 or 2 and not 10/1. By inserting the points, the final equation should be solved. With this answer, y is not equal to 9+10x in the t-chart.
  • In order for a particular point to be the solution to a system, it has to solve both equations. So in this case (1,-2) solves the first equation, but not the second equation of the system.
  • For problem #22 the shading is correct, but the line should be a dotted line, not a soild line. For problem #23 the solid line is correct, but the shading should be above the line, not below it.
  • For problem #20 the shading is correct, but the line should be a dotted line and not a solid line. For problem #21 the sloid line is correct, but the shading should be below the line, not above it.

Big week...here are all the assignments in Chapter 1

1)  Quiz on writing equations
2)  Quiz on systems
3)  Quizstar - 3 Quizzes
4)  Blogging - 3 Blogs
5)  Chapter 1 Test
     Extra credit packets - Misc. worksheets from the Chapter

This is how to work error analysis problems


The x's are going up by 5...not by 1. Therefore the slope would be 10/5...which equals 2 not 10/1.  
Plus the final equation should be solved by plugging in the points, y is not equal to 9 + 10 * x in the t-chart!
