Inconsistent system
An inconsistent system has no solution.The slopes of the lines are the same and the y-intercepts are different. { }
To solve a system of equations:
find the solution(s) to all equations in the system, this is the set of ordered pairs that represent the intersection of the graphs of the equations.
If the line is vertical
there is no slope, or the slope is undefined./ m= (0 with a line through it)
Solving matrices
put it in standard form Ax=By=C, order matters coefficients: [A]= [A1 B1 /constants: [B]= [c1 A2 B2] c2]
If the line is horizontal
the slope is zero./ m=0
P(5, 2), m=0
horizontal line
Inverse matrix
-If the product of two square matrices, [M] and [N] is the identity matrix, then [M] and [N] are inverses of each other: [M]-1=[N] and [N]-1=[M].-Some square matrices do not have inverses. These matrices are called singular. Matrices with inverses are called invertible.
If you have a system of 2 linear equations in 2 variables, how might the graphs of those lines be oriented? (in solution sets)
-Intersect: {(x,y)} one solution -Parallel lines: { } no solutions -Coinside: {(x,y): Ax +By= C} all real numbers
To prepare for problem solving with linear systems, we need to define some terms related to air speed and speed in water:
-air speed: speed in still air (represented by "a") -boat speed: speed in still water (represented by "b")
Matrix in algebra
-an array of numbers written in rows + columnsEx: [ 5 -2 6]-3 0 -1[ -2 4 8 ]-This matrix has 3 rows and 3 columns. The order (m X n) of a matrix is the number of (m) times the number of columns (n).-The order of the matrix above is 3 X 3.
Linear inequality in 2 variables
-an open sentence in the form Ax + By > C or Ax + By < C-The graph of a linear inequality in 2 variables is a half plane (shaded region) with the graph of the associated linear equation Ax + By = C as the boundary of the half-plane.
speed of current: speed in which water is flowing (represented by "c")
-downstream: water moving in the same direction as the -boat upstream: water moving in the opposite direction as the boat
How can you tell if a relation is a function?
-from a graph use vertical line test -from a set of ordered pairs (relation) there should be no repeated x values
headwind and tailwind
-less # slow you down - wind/ against wind -go faster + wind/with wind
Lesson 26
-see if there are restrictions in a problem by setting a denominator to equal 0. -Use FOIL in some problems

-tail wind: wind blowing in the direction of the aircraft -head wind: wind blowing opposite the direction of the aircraft
We identify a linear system in 2 variables by the solutions it has:
1) Consistent system= one solution. 2) Inconsistent system= no solution. 3) Dependent system= has an infinite set of solutions (the entire set of points on the line makes up the solution set.)
We will be solving a system of linear equations in 3 variables by one of two methods:
1) Create an upper triangular system and use back substitution (work up) (triangle) Ax+By+Cz=D By+Cz=D Cz=D 2) Create three matrices and use the matrix feature of the graphing calculator. (This only works if the matrix has an inverse)
Theorem: Given lines L1 and L2 with slopes m1 and m2,
1) L1 II L2 if and only if m1=m2 2) L1 (perpendicular sign upside down T) L2 if and only if m1xm2=-1
To solve a system of linear equations by using matrices: (not really important)
1) Write a square matrix [A] that contains the coefficients of the variables in the system. Enter into the calculator in the matrix menu under [A]. 2) Write a matrix [B] that contains the constants of the system. Enter into the calculatorin the matrix menu under [B]. 3) Write a matrix [X] which contains the variables of the system.So, [A] [X] = [B] 4) Solve by multiplying the inverse of [A] by [B] So, [X] = [A]-1[B]
describing a function:
1) a set of ordered pairs for which no x value is repeated Ex.: { (2, 3), (2, 5), (3, 5), (1, 2), (0, 3), (1, 4)} 2) a graph of the ordered pairs for which no two points are on a vertical line (vertical line test)
The solution to the system is represented by the intersection of the 3 planes and may be:
1) a single point (X) 2) no points (parallel //) 3) an infinite set of points (same equation)
To solve by linear combination:
1) multiply one equation by one value and the other equation by another value, so that you end up with opposites for either the "x" or "y" terms 2) add the equations together to cancel the "x" or "y" terms and solve for the other variable 3) replace that variable in one of the equations with the value you get and solve for the other variable
To graph a non vertical line on a graphing calculator,
1) put the equation into slope intercept form (y=mx+b) 2) put the equation into the calculator in the "y =" (2nd graph= T chart) menu button.
To graph a line using the slope:
1) put the equation into slope intercept form (y=mx+b), if possible, 2) plot the y-intercept, (0,b) 3) count the slope to plot a second point, 4) draw the line through the 2 points.
To graph a linear inequality
1) solve for "y" 2) graph the boundary as a dotted (open half-plane: > <) or solid (closed half-plane) line. ( _> <_) 3) shade the region above ( > or _> ) or below ( < or _< ) 4) if there is no "y" term, graph the vertical line as dotted or solid and shade to the right or left
Solving systems by substitution:
1) solve one of the equations for one of the variables 2) substitute that expression in the other equation 3) use that value to solve for the other variable
To find the slope of a line,
1) use the coordinates of two points and the formula (m= y2-y1/x2-x1) 2) use the graph of the line and count the slope as rise and run from one point to another on the line. 3) use the equation of the line: a) if the equation is in standard form Ax + By = C, then m= -A/B b) if the equation is in slope intercept form y = mx +b, then m is the slope.
To find the equation of a line:
1) use the pointslope form of the linear equation 2) substitute the slope and a point into the equation 3) convert the equation to either slopeintercept or standard form
