Compute AB and BA, which ever exists when
and
Given : and
Matrix A is of order 2 3 and Matrix B is of order 3
2
To find : matrices AB and BA
Formula used :
Where cij = ai1b1j + ai2b2j + ai3b3j + ……………… + ainbnj
If A is a matrix of order a b and B is a matrix of order c
d ,then matrix AB exists and is of order a
d ,if and only if b = c
If A is a matrix of order a b and B is a matrix of order c
d ,then matrix BA exists and is of order c
b ,if and only if d = a
For matrix AB, a = 2,b = 3,c = 3,d = 2 ,matrix AB exists and is of order 2 2,as
b = c = 3
Matrix AB =
Matrix AB = =
Matrix AB =
Matrix AB =
For matrix BA, a = 2,b = 3,c = 3,d = 2 ,matrix BA exists and is of order 3 3,as
d = a = 2
Matrix BA =
Matrix BA =
Matrix BA =
Matrix BA =
