May someone help me pls???

OpenStudy (angela210793):

You have matrices A(mxn) and B(nxp) how many operations of multiplication and addition are needed to calculate AxB???

OpenStudy (amistre64):

AxB i take means matrix multiplication; otherwise knnown as a dot product

OpenStudy (angela210793):

yes tht's wht it means

OpenStudy (amistre64):

there is some 2^something jargon that i can never recall but we could try to work it out

OpenStudy (amistre64):

mxn * nxp every m rows is doted to every n column; and each term is added n-1 times

OpenStudy (amistre64):

1 2 3 a b c a1 + b2 + b3 = 3 multiplicataion and 2 addition for a total of 5 flops i think the term is 1x3 * 3x1 = 5 flops 123 ad 456 be cf a1+b2+c3 a4+b5+c6 def def 12 multiples and 8 adds makes 20 for a 2x3*3x2 this might take awhile lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

n*m sets of dots each dot has n multipliers in it n*m*n and each has n-1 adds in it n*n*m*(n-1) maybe

OpenStudy (amistre64):

mxn nxp m*p dot products each one having n multipliers and n-1 additions might sound better to me without resorting to google lol

OpenStudy (amistre64):

2x3 3x2 (2*2)(3*2) = 24 n+n-1 operations per row ....

OpenStudy (amistre64):

(2*2)(3+2) = 20 that seemst o work
