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.
MATRIX
2. Create the vector of the
constants in the linear
system.

7
1
3. Return to the Matrix
Catalog.

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