Find B*A (Calculator highly recommended for this one!)

• 47 30

  9 5

• 17 15

  42 35

• 10 25

  7 1

• not possible because rows do not match columns

What is a Matrix?

• An equation of over 5 numbers or symbols

• An array of numbers or variables arranged in rows and columns

• A method of finding the n^th value of a series

• A complicated number system that permits you to enter alternate realities

Find B-A

• -3     1
  7     -1
• 1     0
  1     -4
• 4       0
  -6     0
• not possible because rows do not match columns
