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

9

5

4

3

.

Keystrokes

Display

´<B

Designates matrix B as result
matrix.

l> A

A 2

3

Displays descriptor of matrix A.

2

*

b 2

3

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.
