Q. B=⎣⎡41−2401⎦⎤ and F=[0031]Let H=BF. Find H.H=
Understand matrix multiplication rules: Understand matrix multiplication rules.To multiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix must equal the number of rows in the second matrix. Matrix B is a 3×2 matrix and matrix F is a 2×2 matrix, so they can be multiplied.
Set up the multiplication: Set up the multiplication.We will calculate the entries of matrix H by taking the dot product of the rows of B with the columns of F.
Calculate first entry of H: Calculate the first entry of matrix H. The first entry of H is the dot product of the first row of B with the first column of F. H[1,1]=(4×0)+(4×0)=0
Calculate second entry of H: Calculate the second entry of matrix H. The second entry of H is the dot product of the first row of B with the second column of F. H[1,2]=(4×3)+(4×1)=12+4=16
Calculate third entry of H: Calculate the third entry of matrix H. The third entry of H is the dot product of the second row of B with the first column of F. H[2,1]=(1×0)+(0×0)=0
Calculate fourth entry of H: Calculate the fourth entry of matrix H. The fourth entry of H is the dot product of the second row of B with the second column of F. H[2,2]=(1×3)+(0×1)=3+0=3
Calculate fifth entry of H: Calculate the fifth entry of matrix H. The fifth entry of H is the dot product of the third row of B with the first column of F. H[3,1]=(−2×0)+(1×0)=0
Calculate sixth entry of H: Calculate the sixth entry of matrix H. The sixth entry of H is the dot product of the third row of B with the second column of F. H[3,2]=(−2×3)+(1×1)=−6+1=−5
