Q. E=[15−1550] and F=⎣⎡−255−12−2⎦⎤Let H=EF. 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 E is a 2×3 matrix and matrix F is a 3×2 matrix, so they can be multiplied to result in a 2×2 matrix H.
Set up matrix multiplication: Set up the multiplication of matrices E and F. We will calculate the elements of matrix H by taking the dot product of the rows of E with the columns of F.
Calculate H[1,1]: Calculate the element H[1,1]. H[1,1]=(1×−2)+(−1×5)+(5×5) H[1,1]=−2−5+25 H[1,1]=18
Calculate H[1,2]: Calculate the element H[1,2].H[1,2]=(1×−1)+(−1×2)+(5×−2)H[1,2]=−1−2−10H[1,2]=−13
Calculate H[2,1]: Calculate the element H[2,1]. H[2,1]=(5×−2)+(5×5)+(0×5) H[2,1]=−10+25+0 H[2,1]=15
Calculate H[2,2): Calculate the element H[2,2].H[2,2]=(5×−1)+(5×2)+(0×−2)H[2,2]=−5+10+0H[2,2]=5
