* 1 Lesson: Linear Models and the Distributive Property Write an Expression Using the Distributive Property over Multiplication Some expressions representing real-world situations can be easily written in the form [[ a bx+c ]]. When solving problems with expressions written in this form, you will use the distributive property over multiplication. Example: You and your friend are selling raffle tickets for the local rotary club. Tickets are sold for $2 each. Your friend has already sold 100 tickets

theme is being awaken from a false reality but each piece differs in the action that follow the awakening.

As Patricia Pisters (2003) asserts in her study of Deleuze and film theory The Matrix of Visual Culture, the Wachowski brothers’ film can be read from number of different theoretical perspectives. It invites readings via Lacanian psychoanalysis, Platonic notions of the cave and the disparity between the two strata of perception and also as a “New Age” (Pisters, 2003: 11) quasi-religious evocation of the second coming. However, here I would like to place the film’s visual sense and diegesis into a

O Solving Systems of Linear Equations using Inverse of a Matrix & Elementary Row Operations Consider: [pic] be a linear system of n equations in n unknowns and let [pic] be the coefficient matrix so that we can write the given system as AX = B where [pic]. If [pic] then the system has a unique solution. To solve for SLE of the form, [pic], [pic]. Recall: For SLE in 2 unknowns: For SLE in 3 unknowns: given [pic] , given [pic]

dimensions) by C = A + B.. The sum is defined by adding entries with the same indices [pic] over all i and j. Example: [pic] Subtraction of Matrices Subtraction is performed in analogous way. Example: [pic] Scalar multiplication To multiply a matrix with a real number, we multiply each element with this number. Example: [pic] Multiplication of a row vector by a column vector This multiplication is only possible if the row vector and the column vector have the same number of elements. To multiply

2 Question One Compare and contrast The Matrix with the readings from Plato and Descartes. What are some similarities and differences? The Matrix describes a fictitious possibility of a virtual existence of the world and especially the world’s human population, unbeknownst by the majority of people involved in the virtual reality known as the Matrix. Certain players in the Matrix scenario are awakened to the proposition that perhaps their life experience
