Holt Algebra 2
4-1 Matrices and Data
The table shows the top scores for girls in barrel racing at the 2004 National High School Rodeo finals. The data can be presented in a table or a spreadsheet as rows and columns of numbers. You can also use a matrix to show table data.
A matrix is a rectangular array of numbers enclosed in brackets.
Holt Algebra 2
4-1 Matrices and Data
The dimensions of a matrix are determined by its number of rows and columns (in that order).
Matrix A has dimensions 2 3.
Each value in a matrix is called an entry of the matrix.

4-1 Matrices and Data
The address of an entry is its location in a matrix, expressed by using the lower case matrix letter with row and column number as subscripts. The score 16.206 is located in row 2 column 1, so a21 is 16.206.

Example 1: Displaying Data in Matrix Form6 in 9 in
Roast beef $3.95 $5.95
Turkey $3.75 $5.60
Tuna $3.50 $5.25
A. Display the data in matrix form. P =
3.95 5.95
3.75 5.60
3.50 5.25
B. What are the dimensions of P?P has three rows and two columns, so it is a 3 2 matrix.

C. What is entry p12? What does is represent?
D. What is the address of the entry 3.50?
The entry at p12, in row 1 column 2, is 5.95. It is the price of a 9 in. roast beef sandwich.
The entry 3.50 is at p31.
The prices for different sandwiches are presented at right.
