Answer:
For matrix multiplication to work, the columns of the second matrix have to have the same number of entries as do the rows of the first matrix. ... In particular, matrix multiplication is not "commutative"; you cannot switch the order of the factors and expect to end up with the same result.
Answer:
A linear function is in the form y = mx + b or f(x) = mx + b, where m is the slope or rate of change and b is the y-intercept or where the graph of the line crosses the y axis. ... if your first diffs are the same it is linear. if not it is not linear.
