Subject: matrices Right now, we are dealing with matrices and we are supposed to solve the following problem on our graphing-calculators: a-2b+3c-5d=-14 3a+4b-2c+3d=19 5a-b+6c+4d=-5 I am a student. Hi,I think that what you are expected to do is to write the system of equations as a matrix equation. Let Then your system of equations can be written To solve this matrix equation you can multiply both sides, on the left, by A-1. That is But A-1 A is the 4-by-4 identity matrix I and I X = X so Using your calculator, construct A and B, compute A-1 and multiply to get A-1B. Cheers,Penny
