Systems of Equations

Written and hosted by internationally acclaimed math educator Dr. Monica Neagoy, this video introduces students to systems of linear equations in two or three unknowns. To solve these systems, the host illustrates a variety of methods: four involve the TI-Nspire (spreadsheet, graphs and geometry, matrices and nSolve) and two are the classic algebraic methods known as substitution and elimination, also called the linear combinations method. The video ends with a summary of the three possible types of solutions. Concepts explored: equations, linear equations, linear systems.

In this episode of Algebra Applications, students explore various scenarios that can be explained through the use of systems of equations. Such disparate phenomena as profit and loss, secret codes, and ballistic missile shields can be explored through systems of equations.

Profit and loss are the key measures in a business. A system of equations that includes an equation for income and one for expenses can be used to determine profit and loss. Students solve a system graphically.

Secret codes and encryption are ideal examples of a system of equations. In this activity, students encrypt and decrypt a message.

A ballistic missile shield allows you to shoot incoming missiles out of the sky. Mathematically, this is an example of a linear-quadratic system. Students graph such a system and find the points of intersection between a line and a parabola.

In this Investigation we solve a linear system. This video is Segment 1 of a 4 segment series related to Algebra Nspirations: Solving Systems of Equations. Segments 1 and 2 are grouped together.

In this Investigation we use matrices and the elimination method to solve a linear system. This video is Segment 3 of a 4 segment series related to Algebra Nspirations: Solving Systems of Equations. Segments 3 and 4 are grouped together.

In this TI Nspire tutorial for the TI-Nspire CAS, the Calculator Window is used to solve a linear system. This video supports the TI-Nspire Clickpad and Touchpad. This Mini-Tutorial Video includes a worksheet. .
