\bf A=
\begin{bmatrix}
\square &\square &\square &\square 
\end{bmatrix}\qquad \qquad 
B=
\begin{bmatrix}
\square &\square &\square &\square \\
\square &\square &\square &\square \\
\square &\square &\square &\square \\
\end{bmatrix}

notice above, the matrix A has 1 row 4 columns, a 1x4,
and the B matrix has 3 rows and 4 columns, 3x4.

since B has only 3 rows, not 4, no dice.

Answer: No. You cannot multiply the matrices in any order. A*B is not defined. Also, B*A is not defined.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Explanation: 

Matrix A has 1 row, and 4 columns. 
Matrix B has 3 rows, and 4 columns

In order for A*B to be possible, A has to have the same number as columns as B has rows. In other words, the inner dimensions have to match up. The '4' in '1x4' needs to match up with the '3' in the '3x4'. This match doesn't happen. 

The same story happens with B*A, just things have been flipped. 

B has 3 rows, 4 columns
A has 1 row, 4 columns

The "4 columns" of B does not match with "1 row" of A.

In around of golf, the lowest score wins. At the end of a round you have score -3 and your friend has score -4. Who won the roun
scoray [572]

Answer: The friend won the round.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the lowest score.

The lowest score means the smallest value.

With intergers, as the number gets farther away from zero to the left, the smaller the value is. The middle number is zero on a number line. The numbers to the left of zero are negative. The number to the write of zero are positive.

As you move to the left on the number line, the numbers get smaller. As you move to the right on  a number line, the values get bigger

Since -4 is farther away from zero to the left on a number line than -3, -4 is smaller.

Hence -4 is smaller than -3. -4 is one more to the left than -3 so -4 is smaller than -3.

Hence the friend won the round.

Determine whether the three segment lengths will produce a triangle. Type yes or no in the space provided.
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets study how to know if the lengths of the three segments

 can formed a triangle

- It is a fact that in any triangle the sum of the smallest two sides

 must be greater than the largest side

- Lets study some examples

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 6 , 7

∵ 5 and 6 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 6 = 11

∵ 11 > 7 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 6 , 7 can formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 5 , 7 , 12

∵ 5 and 7 are the smallest

∴ 5 + 7 = 12

∵ 12 = 12 ⇒ the sum equal the 3rd side

∴ 5 , 7 , 12 can not formed a triangle

# If the lengths of the three segments are 10 , 12 , 24

∵ 10 and 12 are the smallest

∴ 10 + 12 = 22

∵ 22 < 24 ⇒ the sum less than the 3rd side

∴ 10 , 12 , 24 can not formed a triangle

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ The length of the three segments are 20 , 20 , 30

∵ 20 and 20 are the smallest

∴ 20 + 20 = 40

∵ 40 > 30 ⇒ the sum greater than the 3rd side

∴ 20 , 20 , 30 will produce a triangle
