Help?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for A+B add the corresponding elements of A and B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

a11=a+1 a12=b+0=0 ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ A+B=\left( \begin{array}{cc} a+1 & b \\ c+d & e \end{array} \right) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ A B=\left( \begin{array}{cc} a+b d & b e \\ c & 0 \end{array} \right) \]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Alright, but how do I do that? I'm a bit new to Matrices.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[ A = \left[\begin{matrix}a & b \\ c & 0\end{matrix}\right] \text { and } B = \left[\begin{matrix}1 & 0 \\ d & e\end{matrix}\right]\\ c_{1,1}= a (1) + b(d)=a + bd\\ c_{1,2}= a (0) + b(e)=be\\ c_{2,1}= c(1) +0(d)=c\\ c_{2,2}= c(0) +0(e)=0\\ \]
