Holt Algebra 2
4-1 Matrices and Data
The table shows the top scores for girls in barrel racing at the 2004 National High School Rodeo finals. The data can be presented in a table or a spreadsheet as rows and columns of numbers. You can also use a matrix to show table data.
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers enclosed in brackets.

4-1 Matrices and Data
The dimensions of a matrix are determined by its number of rows and columns (in that order).
Matrix A has dimensions 2 3.
Each value in a matrix is called an entry of the matrix.

The address of an entry is its location in a matrix, expressed by using the lower case matrix letter with row and column number as subscripts. The score 16.206 is located in row 2 column 1, so a21 is 16.206.

The prices for different sandwiches are presented at right.
Example 1: Displaying Data in Matrix Form6 in 9 in
Roast beef $3.95 $5.95
Turkey $3.75 $5.60
Tuna $3.50 $5.25
A. Display the data in matrix form. P =
3.95 5.95
3.75 5.60
3.50 5.25
B. What are the dimensions of P?P has three rows and two columns, so it is a 3 2 matrix.

Example 1: Displaying Data in Matrix Form
C. What is entry p12? What does is represent?
D. What is the address of the entry 3.50?
The entry at p12, in row 1 column 2, is 5.95. It is the price of a 9 in. roast beef sandwich.
The entry 3.50 is at p31.
The prices for different sandwiches are presented at right.

You can add or subtract two matrices if they have the exact same dimensions. Simply add or subtract the corresponding entries.

You can multiply a matrix by a number, called a scalar. To find the product of a scalar and a matrix, or the scalar product, multiply each entry by the scalar.
