uRaising a Matrix to a Power [OPTN]-[MAT]-[ ]
Example To raise the following matrix to the third power :
Matrix A =
12
34
K2(MAT)1(Mat)av(A)
Mdw
uDetermining the Absolute Value, Integer Part, Fraction Part, and
Maximum Integer of a Matrix
[OPTN]-[NUM]-[Abs]/[Frac]/[Int]/[Intg]
Example To determine the absolute value of the following matrix :
Matrix A =
1–2
–3 4
K6(g)4(NUM)1(Abs)
K2(MAT)1(Mat)av(A)w
2-8-20
Matrix Calculations
# Determinants and inverse matrices are
subject to error due to dropped digits.
# Matrix operations are performed
individually on each cell, so calculations
may require considerable time to
complete.
# The calculation precision of displayed
results for matrix calculations is ± 1 at the
least significant digit.
# If a matrix calculation result is too large to
fit into Matrix Answer Memory, an error
occurs.
# You can use the following operation to transfer
Matrix Answer Memory contents to another
matrix (or when Matrix Answer Memory
contains a determinant to a variable).
MatAns → Mat
α
In the above, α is any variable name A through
Z. The above does not affect the contents of
Matrix Answer Memory.
# For matrix power calculations, calculation is
possible up to a power of 32766.
