Matrices

To divide the two matrices M1 and M2 that you created
for the previous example, press the following keys:

M1
M2

To invert a matrix

You can invert a square matrix in HOME by typing the
matrix (or its variable name) and pressing

x

–1

. Or you can use the matrix INVERSE command.

Enter INVERSE(matrixname) in HOME and press

.

To negate each
element

You can change the sign of each element in a matrix by
pressing

before the matrix name.

Solving systems of linear equations

Example

Solve the following linear system:

1. Open the Matrix

catalog and create a
vector.

2. Create the vector of the

constants in the linear
system.

In this example, the
vector you created is
listed as M1.
