Question 1
Let A=3−1
2 4 and B=−2 0
1 2.
Find the product AB.
Step-by-step solution: 1. To find the product of two matrices, multiply the
elements of each row in the first matrix by the corresponding elements in each
column of the second matrix and sum the results.
2. Let’s calculate the product AB:
AB =3−1
2 4 −2 0
1 2
3. Multiplying the matrices, we get:
AB =(3 · −2) + (−1·1) (3 ·0) + (−1·2)
(2 · −2) + (4 ·1) (2 ·0) + (4 ·2)
4. Simplifying the calculations, we get:
AB =(−6) + (−1) (0) + (−2)
(−4) + 4 (0) + 8
AB =−7−2
0 8
Therefore, the product AB is:
AB =−7−2

Question 18
a) Find the sum A+B.
b) Find the product A·B.
c) Is the matrix A·Bequal to the matrix B·A? Explain your
answer.

corresponding elements of matrices Aand B:
18
A+B=2−3
4 5 +−1 2
3 0=2+(−1) −3+2
4+3 5+0 =1−1
7 5
Therefore, the sum A+B=1−1
7 5 .
b) To find the product A·B, we multiply matrix Aby matrix B
using matrix multiplication:
A·B=2−3
4 5 ·−1 2
3 0=(2 · −1) + (−3·3) (2 ·2) + (−3·0)
(4 · −1) + (5 ·3) (4 ·2) + (5 ·0) =−2−9 4
−4 + 15 8=−11 4
11 8
Therefore, the product A·B=−11 4
11 8.
c) To check if the matrix A·Bis equal to the matrix B·A, we
compute both products:
A·B=−11 4
11 8=10 −6
12 15 =B·A
Since A·Bis not equal to B·A, the matrices are not equal.
Therefore, the matrix A·Bis not equal to the matrix B·A.Question

Question 18
a) Find the sum A+B.
b) Find the product A·B.
c) Is the matrix A·Bequal to the matrix B·A? Explain your
answer.
Step-by-step solutions: a) To find the sum A+B, we add the
corresponding elements of matrices Aand B:
18
A+B=2−3
4 5 +−1 2
3 0=2+(−1) −3+2
4+3 5+0 =1−1
7 5
Therefore, the sum A+B=1−1
7 5 .
b) To find the product A·B, we multiply matrix Aby matrix B
using matrix multiplication:
A·B=2−3
4 5 ·−1 2
3 0=(2 · −1) + (−3·3) (2 ·2) + (−3·0)
(4 · −1) + (5 ·3) (4 ·2) + (5 ·0) =−2−9 4
−4 + 15 8=−11 4
11 8
Therefore, the product A·B=−11 4
11 8.
c) To check if the matrix A·Bis equal to the matrix B·A, we
compute both products:
A·B=−11 4
11 8=10 −6
12 15 =B·A
Since A·Bis not equal to B·A, the matrices are not equal.
Therefore, the matrix A·Bis not equal to the matrix B·A.Question

using matrix multiplication:
A·B=2−3
4 5 ·−1 2
3 0=(2 · −1) + (−3·3) (2 ·2) + (−3·0)
(4 · −1) + (5 ·3) (4 ·2) + (5 ·0) =−2−9 4
−4 + 15 8=−11 4
11 8
Therefore, the product A·B=−11 4
11 8.

c) To check if the matrix A·Bis equal to the matrix B·A, we
compute both products:
A·B=−11 4
11 8=10 −6
12 15 =B·A
Since A·Bis not equal to B·A, the matrices are not equal.
Therefore, the matrix A·Bis not equal to the matrix B·A.
