Matrix Problem, help! Question below

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats the question

OpenStudy (anonymous):

not possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What about this one? Find AB,

OpenStudy (anonymous):

matrix multiplication in order to determine whether or not it is possible, just look at the dimensions of the matrix using first question as an example B - 3 x2 A-1x 3 BA -> 3x2 - 1x3 if the inner 2 numbers dont match, then its not possible still using first question as example AB- > 1x3 -3x2 inner 2 numbers match so matrix multiplication is possible

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i hope i didnt screw up the dimensions

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, i should add, if matrix multiplication is possible, the resulting matrix will have the dimensions of the last 2 numbers so from AB the dimension of the resulting matrix would be 1x2
