4.1: Matrix OperationsObjectives: Students will be able to:• Add, subtract, and multiply a matrix by a scalar• Solve Matrix Equations• Use matrices to organize data
Matrix
A rectangular arrangement of numbers in rows and columns
Dimensions of a Matrix: # rows by # columns
2 X 3 (read 2 by 3)
701

Entries: the numbers in a matrix
Square Matrix: a matrix with the same # of rows and columns
What are the dimensions of the matrices below?

To add and subtract matrices, add or subtract corresponding entries:
Can only add and subtract if matrices have the same dimensions
Perform the indicated operations:1. 2. 3.

Properties of Matrix Operations: A, B and C are matrices, c is a scalar
1. Associative Property (regroup)
2. Commutative Property (change order)
3. Distributive Property of Addition
4. Distributive Property of Subtractions
(A+B)+C = A +(B+C)
A + B = B +A
c(A +B) = cA + cB
c(A- B) = cA- cB
Using Matrices to Organize Data:
Use matrices to organize the following data about insurance rates.
This year for 1 car, comprehensive, collision and basic insurance cost $612.15, $518.29 and $486.91. For 2 cars, comprehensive, collision and basic insurance cost $1150.32, $984.16, and $892.51.Next year for 1 car, comprehensive, collision and basic insurance will cost $616.28, $520.39, and $490.05. For 2 cars, comprehensive, collision and basic insurance will cost $1155.84, $987.72, and $895.13.
Use the matrices to write a matrix that shows the MONTHLY changes from this year to next.
