What is the order of operations in mathematics?

Back

The order of operations is: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). Often abbreviated as PEMDAS.

Front

What is a matrix?

Back

A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers arranged in rows and columns.

Front

How do you determine the number of rows in a matrix?

Back

The number of rows in a matrix is the first number in its dimensions. For example, in a 7 x 3 matrix, there are 7 rows.

Front

What is Cramer's Rule?

Back

Cramer's Rule is a mathematical theorem used to solve systems of linear equations with as many equations as unknowns, using determinants.

What is a determinant in the context of matrices?

Back

A determinant is a scalar value that can be computed from the elements of a square matrix and encodes certain properties of the matrix.

Front

How do you find the x-coordinate using Cramer's Rule?

Back

To find the x-coordinate, replace the first column of the coefficient matrix with the constants from the equations, then calculate the determinant of the new matrix divided by the determinant of the original coefficient matrix.
