Using Math Functions with MatricesUsing Math Functions with Matrices
You can use many of the math functions on the TI-83 Plus keyboard, the
MATH menu, the MATH NUM menu, and the MATH TEST menu with matrices.
However, the dimensions must be appropriate. Each of the functions
below creates a new matrix; the original matrix remains the same.
+ (Add), – (Subtract), ä (Multiply)
To add (Ã) or subtract (¹) matrices, the dimensions must be the same.
The answer is a matrix in which the elements are the sum or difference
of the individual corresponding elements.
matrixA+matrixB

To multiply (¯) two matrices together, the column dimension of matrixA
must match the row dimension of matrixB.
