<p>How often do vectors and Matrices come up on SAT Math II level tests?</p>
<p>I just want to see how much studying time i should put into these stupid topics.</p>
<p>As far as I know Matrices appear rarely. After all, to miss just a question is not a big deal when it is about Math II.</p>
<p>The only vector problems I have seen are VERY basic. If you've taken any calculus...</p>
<p>Addition of vectors (x,y) and (a,b) = (x + a, y+b)
Length of a vector = ((x + a)^2 + (y + b)^2)^(1/2)</p>
<p>is pretty much all you need.</p>
<p>Never seen any matrices.</p>
<p>agreed, vectors are fairly basic - just adding and length.
i saw a matrice problem on the june 2007 math ii, but it was very basic material that i was able to find in my princeton review prep book.</p>
<p>basically, you won't need to know anything that you couldn't find in a standard test prep book.</p>
<p>Very rare, it may not appear on the test at all. But it's probable.</p>
<p>lol there are no linear/matrix algebra type question on the Math IIC. the only thing they can ask about vectors like procrastination said is to compute the addition/length of vector(s).</p>
<p>I had a matrix question on mine. basically all you needed to know was</p>
<p>If you have a matrix that is a by b times a matrix that is c by d ...</p>
<p>b and c need to be equal
the resulting dimensions are a by d</p>
<p>Yeah, ad-bc is the detreminant.</p>
