Q. Note: To enter a matrix, click inside the answer box and choose the
Identify dimensions: Identify the dimensions of the matrices. Matrix A: 3×2 Matrix B: 2×4
Check compatibility: Check if the matrices can be multiplied. Matrix A (3×2) and Matrix B (2×4) can be multiplied because the number of columns in A is equal to the number of rows in B.
Set up multiplication: Set up the multiplication.Matrix A:⎣⎡031amp;−2amp;1amp;−1⎦⎤Matrix B:[3−2amp;5amp;−3amp;−4amp;0amp;1amp;0]
Calculate first row: Calculate the first row of the product matrix.[0amp;−2]×[3−2amp;5amp;−3amp;−4amp;0amp;1amp;0]=[(0∗3+−2∗−2)amp;(0∗5+−2∗−3)amp;(0∗−4+−2∗0)amp;(0∗1+−2∗0)]=[4amp;6amp;0amp;0]
Calculate second row: Calculate the second row of the product matrix.[3amp;1]×[3−2amp;5amp;−3amp;−4amp;0amp;1amp;0]=[(3∗3+1∗−2)amp;(3∗5+1∗−3)amp;(3∗−4+1∗0)amp;(3∗1+1∗0)]=[7amp;12amp;−12amp;3]
Calculate third row: Calculate the third row of the product matrix.[1amp;−1]×[3−2amp;5amp;−3amp;−4amp;0amp;1amp;0]=[(1∗3+−1∗−2)amp;(1∗5+−1∗−3)amp;(1∗−4+−1∗0)amp;(1∗1+−1∗0)]=[5amp;8amp;−4amp;1]
Combine rows: Combine the rows to form the final product matrix.⎣⎡475amp;6amp;12amp;8amp;0amp;−12amp;−4amp;0amp;3amp;1⎦⎤
