What is a Matrix?

• An equation of over 5 numbers or symbols 
• A set of numbers in rows and columns
• A method of finding the n^th value of a series
• A complicated number system

What would two matrices need to be considered 'equal'?

• The same dimensions and different element values
• The same dimension and the same element values
• Two matrices can never be equal
• two matrices are 'equal' when they are added together to create a matrix of only "0's"

Find B-A

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

Find A+B

• 8     10
  8      1 
• 12     25
  7     1
• 10     30
  0     1
• can't add two together because the rows dont match columns
