SP#5: Unit J Concept 6



What do you need to know in order to understand this problem and concept?
In order to understand this concept alone, you must remember that unlike concept five in which it has distinct factors this concept does not. This is at a difficult level and does apply matrices. Make sure to be patient and be clear on your work, in order to track a mistake, if done. Other than that, have fun and enjoy Student Problem#5.

SP#4: Unit J Concept 5





What do you need to know in order to understand this problem and concept?
In order to understand this problem you must understand that this concept has distinct factors. This concept consists of decomposition. And although matrices might seem way behind us, we will have to apply it in this problem.  Luckily for us, we can use our graphing calculator. The main tool you must use is, the tool from algebra, to add fractions and you will be set for life. Well not really, just for these two concepts. Good luck and enjoy.

SV#5: Unit J Concept 3-4


What do you need to know in order to understand this video?
First of all, to make your life much easier when solving a matrix, make sure to use a pencil. It will save any student a great amount of time in case a mistake is to occur. Secondly, highlight the rows in the order of the Gauss-Jordan elimination process. Lastly, solve the equation using your graphing calculator using rref, to guide you through the equation and help you to stop in your tracks in case you make a mistake.
