hmm just wondering...how much working do you need to show for matrices? cos you can do most of it on your calc

Be guided by the wording of the question and the number of marks available. For simgle marks, working out is not needed unless specifically asked for. Look at the 2006 and 2007 exams and the relevant examiner's reports as they will further help to answer your query.

generally, if there is working space, you are required to write out the matrix equation and then the answer.  this is what i got from working through the past and practise exam papers
