Linear System

Solving a Linear System 

Given the the Linear System:
ax + by = c
dx + ey = f

For a linear system we have two matrixes as input data

1 - The Matrix of the Coefficients or Matrix A
[ [a b] [d e] ]

2 - the Matrix of Independent Terms or Matrix B
[ [ c ] [ f ] ]

In HP48 we write a matrix as:
[ [ row1] [row2] [ row3] ....[rown]]
and to solve the linear system we can follow the steps below,
 
 

Example 1:  Solve the Linear System    2x+3y=2   5x+6y=9	Example 2:   Solve the Linear System    2x+3y+4z=2   5x+2y+3z=3  5x+6y+3z=-9

Enter the matrixes as shown in the picture	Enter the matrixes as shown in the picture
Set the browswer bar on the field X and press SOLVE Result  x=5   y=-2.66666666667	Set the browswer bar on the field X and press SOLVE Result  x=.2142854174286  y=-3  z=2.64285714286

You can also use the Equation Writer to write the matrixes

Write the Matrix A

Write the Matrix B

Solving a Linear System of Complex Numbers

Lets solve the linear system
(5+j3)x + 7j y = 8 j6x + (7-j3) x = 3
In HP48 syntax we write: (5,3) (0,7) (0,6) (7,-3)	Press and    to see the entrance in full screen.
