Examples, solutions, videos, and lessons to help High School students learn how to
represent a system of linear equations as a single matrix equation
in a vector variable.
Find the inverse of a matrix if it exists and use it to solve
systems of linear equations (using technology for matrices of
dimension 3 x 3 or greater)
Suggested Learning Targets
- Write a system of linear equations as a single matrix
equation.
- Find the inverse of the coefficient matrix in the equation, if
it exits. Use the inverse of the coefficient matrix to solve the
system. Use technology for matrices with dimensions 3 by 3 or
greater.
