Percentage
A percentage is a number indicated as a fraction of 100. It is a dimensionless number often expressed using the symbol %.
Algebraic Expressions
In mathematics, an algebraic expression consists of constant(s), variable(s), and mathematical operators. It is made up of terms.
Numbers
Numbers are some measures used for counting. They can be compared one with another to know its position in the number line and determine which one is greater or lesser than the other.
Subtraction
Before we begin to understand the subtraction of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
Addition
Before we begin to understand the addition of algebraic expressions, we need to list out a few things that form the basis of algebra.
![### Section 2.2 Exercises
**Find the inverses of the matrices in Exercises 1-4.**
1. \[\begin{bmatrix} 8 & 6 \\ 5 & 4 \end{bmatrix}\]
2. \[\begin{bmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 8 & 5 \end{bmatrix}\]
3. \[\begin{bmatrix} 7 & 3 \\ -6 & -3 \end{bmatrix}\]
4. \[\begin{bmatrix} 2 & -4 \\ 4 & -6 \end{bmatrix}\]
**Use the inverse found in Exercise 1 to solve the system:**
\[ \begin{aligned}
8x_1 + 6x_2 &= 2 \\
5x_1 + 4x_2 &= -1
\end{aligned} \]
**Use the inverse found in Exercise 3 to solve the system:**
\[ \begin{aligned}
7x_1 + 3x_2 &= -9 \\
-6x_1 - 3x_2 &= 4
\end{aligned} \]
**7. Let** \[A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 \\ 5 & 12 \end{bmatrix}, b_1 = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}, b_2 = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \\ -5 \end{bmatrix}, b_3 = \begin{bmatrix} 2 \\ 6 \end{bmatrix}, \text{and} b_4 = \begin{bmatrix} 3 \\ 5 \end{bmatrix}\]
a. Find \(A^{-1}\) and use it to solve the four equations:
\[Ax = b_1,\quad Ax = b_2,\quad Ax = b_3,\quad Ax = b_4 \]
b. The four equations in part (a) can be solved by the same set of row operations, since the coefficient matrix is the same in each case. Solve the four equations in part (a) by row reducing the augmented matrix \([A \; b_1 \; b_2 \; b_3 \; b_4]\).
