Question

Use the following matrices, A, B, C and D to perform each operation.

A = |3 1|
|5 7|

B = |4 1|
|6 0|

C = |-2 3 1|
|-1 0 4|

D = |-2 3 4|
|0 -2 1|
|3 4 -1|

1. A + B
2. B - A
3. 3C
4. CD
5. 2D + 3C

Answer 1

Explanation:

`A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&1\\5&7\end{array}\right]`

`B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&1\\6&0\end{array}\right]`

`C=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&1\\-1&0&4\end{array}\right]`

`D=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&4\\0&-2&1\\3&4&-1\end{array}\right]`

`1.\\A+B=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&1\\5&7\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&1\\6&0\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3+4&1+1\\5+6&7+0\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&2\\11&7\end{array}\right]`

`2.\\B-A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4&1\\6&0\end{array}\right]-\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&1\\5&7\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4-3&1-1\\6-5&0-7\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&0\\1&-7\end{array}\right]`

`3.\\3C=3\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-2&3&1\\-1&0&4\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}(3)(-2)&(3)(3)&(3)(1)\\(3)(-1)&(3)(0)&(3)(4)\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-6&9&3\\-3&0&12\end{array}\right]`

`5.\\2D+3C\\\text{This operation can't be performed because the matrices}\\\text{ are of different dimensions.}`
