1.

The calculator will directly establish an identity matrix of a given size by

pressing 2ndF MATRIX C (OPE) 0 5 (identity) and pressing 3

ENTER . To save the identity matrix in matrix C, press STO 2ndF

MATRIX A (NAME) 3 (mat C) ENTER . Confirm that the identity matrix

is stored in matrix C by pressing 2ndF MATRIX B (EDIT) 3 (mat C).

Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the matrix editor and press CL to clear

the screen.

2.

Find the inverse of the square matrix A by pressing 2ndF MATRIX

A (NAME) 1 (mat A) 2ndF x-

1

ENTER . Press to see more of

the matrix.

3.

To solve the system of equations

x + 2y + z = 8

2x + y z = 1

x + y – 2z = -3

using matrices, use the matrix A entered previously as the coefficient matrix,

and enter the constants on the right side of the equal sign into matrix B,

where B =

8

1

-3 .

Press 2ndF QUIT to exit the display of the B matrix. The solution matrix

X is found by multiplying mat A

-1

B • mat B.

4.

This multiplication is derived from the equation AX= B,

A

-1

• A • X = A

-1

• B (multiply both sides by A

-1

)

I • X = A

-1

• B (A

-1

• A = I, identity matrix)

X = A

-1

• B (I • X = X )

Multiply A

-1

• B by pressing 2ndF MATRIX A (NAME) 1 (mat A)

2ndF x-

1

× 2ndF MATRIX A (NAME) 2 (mat B) and ENTER .

The solution matrix will appear.
