Study Notes
Matrix and Systems of Equations Vocabulary
- Bounded: Refers to a region defined by a system of constraints resulting in a polygonal area within a graph.
- Break-Even Point: The stage where total income matches total costs, indicating no profit or loss.
- Variable Matrix: Composed solely of coefficients from a system of equations, it represents the variables in matrix form.
- Consistent System: A set of equations that contains at least one solution, represented by an ordered pair satisfying both equations.
- Constant Matrix: This matrix holds the constants from a system of equations, distinct from coefficients.
- Cramer's Rule: A technique utilizing determinants to find the solutions for a set of linear equations.
- Dependent System: Characterized by having infinitely many solutions, indicating the equations represent the same line.
- Determinant: A square arrangement of numbers or variables, depicted between two parallel lines, pivotal in solving systems.
- Diagonal Rule: A method specifically used to calculate the determinant of a third-order matrix.
- Dimensions: The specification of a matrix's size represented as rows (m) by columns (n), noted as m x n.
Methods of Solving Equations and Matrix Operations
- Elimination Method: Involves manipulating equations to cancel out one variable, simplifying the system for resolution.
- Feasible Region: The outcome from the intersection of graph representations of constraints, indicating viable solutions.
- Identity Matrix: A square matrix that preserves the original matrix's value when multiplied; identified by the equation A*I=A.
- Inconsistent System: A scenario where no solution exists, meaning there is no ordered pair that satisfies the equations simultaneously.
- Independent System: This system has precisely one unique solution, indicating distinct intersection points of its equations.
- Inverse Matrices: Defined as two matrices that produce an identity matrix when multiplied together, crucial for solving equations.
- Matrix: Any rectangular array of elements (variables or constants), systematically organized in rows and columns.
- Matrix Equation: Represents a system of equations in matrix form, facilitating easier manipulation and solution finding.
Optimization and Specific Terms
- Optimize: The mathematical procedure of finding the best pricing or quantity to either minimize costs or maximize profits.
- Ordered Triple: The solution of a system of equations when dealing with three variables, denoted as (x, y, z).
- Scalar: Represents a constant factor that can modify matrices through multiplication.
- Scalar Multiplication: The process of multiplying each element of a matrix by a constant known as a scalar.
- Substitution Method: A solving technique where one equation is rearranged to substitute a variable into another equation.
- Unbounded: Describes a system of inequalities that creates an open region in graphing, implying no limitation on variable values.
- Coefficient Matrix: A matrix that includes only the coefficients of the variables from a system of equations, excluding constants.
