how to solve a linear equation system with a texas instruments?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

you got a ti83 perhaps?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got a voyage 200

OpenStudy (amistre64):

never heard of it, do you see a "matrix" option on one of the buttons by chance?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

i see a data/matrix option on the google pic of it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes! that one.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

given a set of equations: we strip the variables and use only the coeffs for our column vectors in the matrix, does that make sense?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x+3y=9 4x+5y=3 \begin{pmatrix}2&3&9\\4&5&3\end{pmatrix}

OpenStudy (amistre64):

if there is a variable missing from one equation to the next, you use zero "0" for its entry

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x-y=3 y=4 \begin{pmatrix}2&-1&3\\0&1&4\end{pmatrix}

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the solution to the system is just the row reduced form of the augmented matrix; the RREF command if you can find it

OpenStudy (amistre64):

hope that helps

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it says error reserved name or system variable. why?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

dunno, all I get is a picture :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thanks anyway!
