Question 1 Report

If \(A = \begin{pmatrix} 2 & 1 \\ 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\) and \(B = \begin{pmatrix} 3 & 2 \\ 4 & 2 \end{pmatrix}\). Find \(AB\)

Answer Details

Given A = ⎛⎝⎜221132⎞⎠⎟

 and B = (3422)

We can multiply these matrices since the number of colums in A = number of rows in B

 

AB = ⎛⎝⎜(2∗3)+(1∗4)(2∗3)+(3∗4)(1∗3)+(2∗4)(2∗2)+(1∗2)(2∗2)+(3∗2)(1∗2)+(2∗2)⎞⎠⎟

AB = ⎛⎝⎜(6+4)(6+12)(3+8)(4+2)(4+6)(2+4)⎞⎠⎟

 

= ⎛⎝⎜1018116106⎞⎠⎟
