Haha, you got the same test as me :p
But I dun think I'll get 14 :p
I screwed up the matricies question... so I'm looking at a 10-11 :p
Did you do yourz on Friday by any chance?

Ye, friday at 4 o clock, did the white sheet.

Matrices was a little tricky in making the C matrix from the 1st and 2nd columns, i had to flick through the book a little to find it, but the second part was easy :)
GaussianElimination :D

Ye some of the outputs were rather large.

ok seeing how you have all done your exam, can anyone help me out with a few things from the past exam given over>>HERE<<

Q2-(b) the inverse tan(x) becomes arctan(x) right? i just wanna be 100% sure on this one.

Q4-(a), Form the augmented matrix for the system Ax = b, what command do u use here? is it " augment(A,b); " or " (A|b); " or am i way of? what kind of result are they asking for here?

Q4-(b), Use a MAPLE command to create from A a matrix-M which is the 22 submatrix in the bottom lefthand corner of A. For this one do u just use " M:=A,[2..3,1..2]; ", thats the only thing that i feel is correct, yet i dont get the desired result in my maple thing.

and for the bit saying "Then solve Mx = c" this is just doing Q4-(a) again, right.

Thanks for any help

ok i got this one now, it was M:=(A[2..3,1..2]);

You can do that, also
A:=<<1|2|3>,<4|5|6>,<7|8|9>>;
easier to visualise sometimes,
The row operation stuff didnt work for me when i did this
M:=(A[2..3,1..2]);

Anyway, don't forgot to import the modules
with(plot);
with(LinearAlgebra);

inverse is arc<<insert sin/cos/tan/sec/csc/cot here>> eg arctan

augmented matrix is <A|b>;
if u get a question that asks to be reduced to echelon form and has no restrictions, use
GaussianElimination, saves lots of time.

By the first week in December 1980, we had an operational Maple system, and it evolved from there. In trying to name the system, we started thinking of an acronym. When I suggested the name "Maple," we decided we would go with that, as it seemed like a good Canadian name (not an acronym).
