Domain - Vector and Matrix Quantities
Cluster - Perform operations on matrices and use matrices in applications.
[AQR.N-VM.C.12] - (+) Work with 2 ×2 matrices as transformations of the plane, and interpret the absolute value of the determinant in terms of area.
- Absolute value
The absolute value of a real number is its (non-negative) distance from 0 on a number line. - Matrix (pl. matrices)
A rectangular array of numbers or variables. - Transformation
A prescription, or rule, that sets up a one-to-one correspondence between the points in a geometric object (the pre-image) and the points in another geometric object (the image). Reflections, rotations, translations, and dilations are particular examples of transformations.
[AQR.N-VM.C.8] -
(+) Add, subtract, and multiply matrices of appropriate dimensions.
[AQR.N-VM.C.10] -
(+) Understand that the zero and identity matrices play a role in matrix addition and multiplication similar to the role of 0 and 1 in the real numbers. The determinant of a square matrix is nonzero if and only if the matrix has a multiplicative inverse.
