Matrices

An introduction to using matrices to solve systems.

Introduction to the Concept

When solving 2 systems of equations, we typically add/aubtract/multiply/divide each system until we are able to isolate singular variables. We can do the same for higher order systems but we introduce matrices to make it clear for us.

The matrix representation of a system of equations is just the coefficients and constant values represented in said matrix.

This representation makes manipulation easier as we can just assign our operations to the rows of the matrix.

Elementary Row Operations

Just with regular systems of equations, we can manipulate larger systems by assigning operators.
