Understand Matrix Dimensions: First, let's understand the dimensions of the matrices B and A. Matrix B is a 3×1 matrix and matrix A is a 1×2 matrix. To multiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix. In this case, B has 1 column and A has 1 row, so we can multiply B by A.
Perform Matrix Multiplication: Next, we perform the matrix multiplication BA. The resulting matrix H will have the same number of rows as B and the same number of columns as A, which means H will be a 3×2 matrix. We calculate the entries of H by taking the dot product of the rows of B with the columns of A.
Calculate Entries of Resulting Matrix: The calculation for each entry of H is as follows:H[1,1]=B[1,1]×A[1,1]=0×1=0H[1,2]=B[1,1]×A[1,2]=0×2=0H[2,1]=B[2,1]×A[1,1]=−1×1=−1H[2,2]=B[2,1]×A[1,2]=−1×2=−2H[3,1]=B[3,1]×A[1,1]=2×1=2H[3,2]=B[3,1]×A[1,2]=2×2=4
Write Down Resulting Matrix: Now we can write down the resulting matrix H with the calculated entries: H=[0amp;0−1amp;−22amp;4]
