Is matrix multiplication comutative?

Answer:

Matrix multiplication is not conmutative

Step-by-step explanation:

The matrix multiplication can be performed if the number of columns of the first matrix is equal to the number of rows of the second matrix

Let A with dimension mxn and B with dimension nxp represent two matrix

The multiplication of A by B is a matrix C with dimension mxp, but the multiplication of B by A is can't be calculated because the number of columns of B is not the number of rows of A. Therefore, you can notice that is not conmutative in general.

But even if the multiplication of AB and BA is defined (For example if A and B are squared matrix of 2x2) the multiplication is not necessary conmutative.

The matrix multiplication result is a matrix which entries are given by dot product of the corresponding row of the first matrix and the corresponding column of the second matrix:

$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}a11&a12\\a21&a22\end{array}\right]\\B= \left[\begin{array}{ccc}b11&b12\\b21&b22\end{array}\right]\\AB = \left[\begin{array}{ccc}a11b11+a12b21&a11b12+a12b22\\a21b11+a22b21&a21b12+a22b22\end{array}\right]\\\\BA=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}b11a11+b12a21&b11a12+b12a22\\b21a11+b22ba21&b21a12+b22a22\end{array}\right]$

Notice that in general, the result is not the same. It could be the same for very specific values of the elements of each matrix.

As I can tell the tables are right but it would be a function since none of the x's repeat

A roller coaster has four cars each with the same number of seats. these are 21 passengers seated in the roller coaster, but 3 s

belka [17]

Given:

Number of passengers seated in the roller coaster = 21

Empty seats = 3

Number of cars in roller coaster = 4 (each with the same number of seats)

To find:

An equation that can be used to determine the number of seats in each car.

Solution:

Let s be the number of seats in each car.

Total number of seats in 4 cars = 4s

Using the given information,

Total number of seats = Occupied seated + Empty seats

= 21 + 3

= 24

Now, the required equation is

$4s=24$

Therefore, the required equation is $4s=24$ .

Divide both sides by 4.

$s=\dfrac{24}{4}$

$s=6$

Therefore, the number of seats in each car is 6.

X^2+2x+1 is a perfect square trinomial <br><br> True of False?

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

True.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is because it is in the form $a^2x^2+2abx+b^2$ and this equals $(ax+b)^2$ .

Why it is in that form: well comparing $a^2x^2+2abx+b^2$ , we have $a=1, b=1$ . Testing, plug in those values:

$(1)^2x^2+2(1)(1)x+(1)^2$

$1x^2+2x+1$

$x^2+2x+1$ .

This has the squared form of $(x+1)^2$ .

Test if you like:

$(x+1)^2$

$(x+1)(x+1)$

Use foil to expand:

First: x(x)=x^2

Outer: x(1)=x

Inner: 1(x)=x

Last: 1(1)=1

---------------Add together

$x^2+2x+1$

It does indeed equal.

The answer would be the third one, p<319, because the auditorium can seat AT LEAST (<) 320 people, but it would be preferable to contain 319.
