Matrix Operations with TI-84 Plus

This video tutorial explains how to solve a system of three equations with three variables by converting them into an augmented matrix and entering it into a TI 84 Plus graphing calculator. The process involves creating the matrix, inputting it into the calculator, and performing matrix operations to achieve row reduced echelon form, which provides the solutions. The tutorial concludes with interpreting the results, demonstrating a consistent independent matrix with solutions for x, y, and z.
