Section 12: Calculating with Matrices 167

8.Press *to calculate XP = (YX)P. The values of these matrix elements are placed in the result matrix, and the descriptor of the result matrix is placed in the X-register.

9.If you want the product in the form (YX)C, press c

Note that you don't transform XP into .

You can derive the complex elements of the matrix product YX by recalling the elements of (XY)P or (YX)C and combining them according to the conventions described earlier.

Example: Calculate the product ZZ-1, where Z is the complex matrix given in the preceding example.

Since elements representing both matrices are already stored ( in A and (Z-1)Pin B), skip steps 1, 3, 4, and 6.
