To multiply, add:

$1 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 5\ 0\ 1\end{bmatrix} + 5 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 3\ 6\ -2\end{bmatrix} + -2 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} -1\3 \1 \end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix} 5\ 0\ 1\end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 15\ 30\ -10\end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 2\ -6\ -2\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 22\ 24\ -11\end{bmatrix}$

Multiply: $\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0& -5\ -1& 3& 1\end{bmatrix} \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 2\ 2\ 1\end{bmatrix}$

To multiply, add:

$2 \begin{bmatrix} 2\ -1\end{bmatrix} + 2 \begin{bmatrix} 0\3 \end{bmatrix} + 1 \begin{bmatrix} -5\ 1\end{bmatrix}$

$= \begin{bmatrix} 4\-2 \end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} 0\ 6\end{bmatrix} + \begin{bmatrix} -5\ 1\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -1\ 5\end{bmatrix}$

Compute AB.

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 1&3 \2 &5 \end{bmatrix}$

$B = \begin{bmatrix} 4& 1& 3\ 6& -2&0 \end{bmatrix}$

Because the number of columns in matrix A and the number of rows in matrix B are equal, we know that product AB does in fact exist. Matrix AB should have the same number of rows as A and the same number of columns as B. In this case, AB is a 2x3 matrix:

$AB=\begin{bmatrix} (1\cdot 4+3\cdot 6) & (1\cdot 1+3\cdot -2) &(1\cdot 3+3\cdot 0) \ (2\cdot 4+5\cdot 6) & (2\cdot 1+5\cdot -2) &(2\cdot 3+5\cdot 0) \end{bmatrix}$

Compute AB

$A=\begin{bmatrix} 5\end{bmatrix}$

$B = \begin{bmatrix} -5&8 &12 &7 \end{bmatrix}$

Because the number of columns in matrix A and the number of rows in matrix B are equal, we know that product AB does in fact exist. Matrix AB should have the same number of rows as A and the same number of columns as B. In this case, AB is a 1x4 matrix:

$AB = \begin{bmatrix} 5\cdot -5& 5\cdot 8&5\cdot 12 &5\cdot 7 \end{bmatrix}$

Let be a matrix and $\bf{x}$ be a vector defined by:

$A = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 6 & 0 \ 7 & -1 & 9 \end{bmatrix}$

$\bf{x} = \begin{bmatrix} 2\ 4 \-3 \end{bmatrix}$

Find the product $A\bf{x}$ .

First we check the dimensions. The matrix has 3 columns and the vector $\bf{x}$ has three rows. The dimensions match and the product exists.

$A\bf{x} = \begin{bmatrix} 2 & 6 & 0 \ 7 & -1 & 9 \end{bmatrix} \cdot\begin{bmatrix} 2\ 4 \-3 \end{bmatrix}$

Now we take the dot product of rows in the matrix and the vector $\bf{x}$ .

$\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 6 & 0 \ 7 & -1 & 9 \end{bmatrix} \cdot\begin{bmatrix} 2\ 4 \-3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 2\cdot 2 + 6\cdot 4 + 0\cdot -3 \ 7\cdot 2 + -1\cdot 4 + 9\cdot -3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 28 \ -17 \end{bmatrix}$
