Understand matrix multiplication: Understand matrix multiplication. To multiply two matrices, we take the dot product of the rows of the first matrix with the columns of the second matrix. The number of columns in the first matrix must be equal to the number of rows in the second matrix for multiplication to be possible.
Set up matrix multiplication: Set up the multiplication of matrix F by matrix D. Matrix F is a 2×2 matrix and matrix D is also a 2×2 matrix, so their multiplication is possible and will result in another 2×2 matrix H.
Calculate first element of H: Calculate the first element of matrix H. The first element of matrix H (H[1,1]) is the dot product of the first row of F and the first column of D. H[1,1]=F[1,1]×D[1,1]+F[1,2]×D[2,1]=0×2+4×3=0+12=12
Calculate second element of H: Calculate the second element of matrix H. The second element of matrix H H[1,2] is the dot product of the first row of F and the second column of D. H[1,2]=F[1,1]×D[1,2]+F[1,2]×D[2,2]=0×5+4×0=0+0=0
Calculate third element of H: Calculate the third element of matrix H. The third element of matrix H (H[2,1]) is the dot product of the second row of F and the first column of D. H[2,1]=F[2,1]⋅D[1,1]+F[2,2]⋅D[2,1]=5⋅2+2⋅3=10+6=16
Calculate fourth element of H: Calculate the fourth element of matrix H.The fourth element of matrix H H[2,2] is the dot product of the second row of F and the second column of D.H[2,2]=F[2,1]⋅D[1,2]+F[2,2]⋅D[2,2]=5⋅5+2⋅0=25+0=25
