Math 170: Topic 06
Subscripts (list and matrix)
Return to topic index page.
Recognize and appropriately apply subscripts in 1, 2, and 3 dimensions.
- Correctly convert from variables to subscripted variables. For example, rewrite the repression
3x-(4y+7xz)/(2y-3x²) using subscripted variables in x.

- Correctly expand a given term of a sequence described using a
formula involving
subscripted variables. For example, given the sequence xi=3i+5
find the 7th term of the sequence.

- Given the formula for a row of Pascal's triangle,
correctly produce a specified row of the triangle. For example,
produce the eighth row (it starts with 1 7) of Pascal's Triangle.
Web Content:
- Correctly identify 2-dimensional matrix elements specified by
subscript. For example, in a given matrix (say it is 5x5) what is
the value of the element (2,3)?
Web Content:
- Correctly fill a nxm matrix given a rule for matrix elements
that determines their value from their subscripts. For example,
write out a 3x4 matrix where the (i,j) element of the matrix is
given by 2i-3j.
Web Content:
- Correctly convert a given mxn matrix, held in column major order,
to a list of values. For example, convert the following column-major
ordered matrix to an ordered list.
Web Content:
- Correctly identify 3-dimensional matrix elements specified by
subscript. For example, in a given matrix (say it is 5x5x5) what is
the value of the element (2,4,3)?
Web Content:
- Given a 3-dimensional matrix of values, correctly create a
2-dimensional sub-matrix by taking a specified slice of the matrix.
For example, given the following 4x5x3 matrix, form a 2-dimensional
matrix representing the slice created by holding the second dimension
constant at 3.
