and help with this one PLEASE![:

Okay, notice you have a 2x3 matrix times a 3x2 matrix, this tells you that you should get out a 2x2 matrix. Take each ROW in the first one and multiply the terms by the first COLUMN in the second one, then sum them up. Giving: \[\left[\begin{matrix}(4)(-4)+(-7)(6)+0(1) & 4(2)+(-7)(0)+0(-9)\\(-4)(3)+5(6)+(-1)(1)&3(2)+5(0)+(-1)(-9)\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}-58&8\\17&15\end{matrix}\right]\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That should read: "take each ROW in the first one and multiply the terms by each COLUMN in the second one"

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the second one you have a 1x2 matrix times a 2x1, so you should get a 1x1 (scalar) matrix. So take the row and multiply by the column. \[\left[\begin{matrix}7(2)+8(9)\end{matrix}\right]=[86]\]

Make sense?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hmm, yes, the second one you explain makes the most sense, though. THANKYOU!!!
