Vectors and Matrix Review

1. Use the diagram to create at least 4 vector equations

Use addition and subtraction and check your work
carefully (unlike Ms. Regan on the last quiz)

2. Know how to add, subtract and multiply matrices by a

scalar. Also know if two vectors are perpendicular For
example
u = 0, 3 v = 2, 2 w = 4, 1 m=
2, 8
find: a) u + v b) w m c) 2v + 3w d)1/2m
e) Are any of the vectors perpendicular? Which ones? How do you know?

3. A ship is on a course of 174 at a speed of 30 nautical miles per hour. What are the
north-south and east-west components of the velocity? Show all diagrams and work.

4. The monthly sales for 4 types of shoes at a shoe store are shown in the table below. The
price for each pair of shoes is also shown below. Create two matrices that you could
multiply together to show the monthly sales for May and June. Then, multiply the matrices
together to find the sales for May and the sales for June.
Type of Shoe Price May June
Asics Flight $78 22 30
Nike Fit $99 15 11
Adidas Hoops $65 19 19
Keds $41 10 15
4 2 1 1
A B
5. Suppose 3 0 and 1 0 . If 2A X B , what is X?
6. Multiply the following matrices. If it is not possible, explain why.
1
2 4 0 1
2 8 5 2 0 x 4 1
3
a) b) 1 1 1 2 0
7. A dominance matrix is a special type of communication matrix that shows where
dominance exists between two members. For example, if a certain chess player A defeats
another player B, they show dominance and there would be a 1 in the A row and B
column.
a) The table below shows the results of a chess club competition where each member
played every other member in the club.
Player Who they defeated
Anne Dawn
Bill Anne, Ciara, Dawn
Ciara Anne
Dawn Ciara, Evan
Evan Anne, Bill, Ciara

Create a dominance matrix to represent the tournament. Label the rows and columns in
alphabetical order.
b) What does the total of each row represent? What does the total of each column
represent?
c) One method to decide who comes in first, second, and third in a tournament is to look at
the second-stage dominances. For example, Ciara has a second-stage dominance over
Dawn since Ciara beat Anne and Anne beat Dawn. Find M2, which gives the second stage
dominance.
d) The person who has the greatest total of first- and second-stage dominances is the
winner of the tournament. Who finished first, second, and third in the tournament?
