Answer:

(a) Order of matrix B is 7 × 1 and order of matrix AB is 4 × 1.

(b) Order of matrix A is 5 × 5.

(c) The order of matrix B is 5 × 7.

Step-by-step explanation:

The product of two matrices is possible if and only if column of first matrix is equal to row of second matrix.

If A is an n × m matrix and B is an m × o matrix, their matrix product AB is an n × p matrix,

(a)

It is given that order of matrix A is 4 x 7.

B is a column matrix. It means the number of column in matrix B is 1.

Let the order of matrix B = n × 1

Product of matrices A and B is possible if and only if column of matrix A is equal to row of matrix B.

n=7

Order of matrix B is 7 × 1

A_{4\times 7}B_{7\times 1}=AB_{4\times 1}

Order of matrix AB is 4 × 1.

(b)

Order of matrix B = 5 × 5

It is given that A is the identity matrix.

Identity matrix is a square matrix having 1s on the main diagonal, and 0s everywhere else.

So, order of matrix A is equal to order of matrix B.

Order of matrix A = 5 × 5

Therefore order of matrix A is 5 × 5.

(c)

Order of matrix A = 4 × 5

Order of matrix AB = 4 × 7

Let Order of matrix B = n × m

A_{4\times 5}B_{n\times m}=AB_{4\times 7}

Product of A and B are possible if and only if n=5.

A_{4\times 5}B_{5\times m}=AB_{4\times 7}

AB_{4\times m}=AB_{4\times 7}

On comparing both sides, we get

m=7

Therefore the order of matrix B is 5 × 7.

Simplification of polynomials.

Polynomials <em>are</em> mathematical expressions made up of many terms.<em>To</em> simplify a polynomial <em>the most, you must collect all</em><em> </em>like terms <em>and rearrange them from highest to lowest power.</em>

<h3>4x² + 2x -5 + 7x² - 5x+2</h3><h3>4x² + 2x -3 + 7x² - 5x+2</h3><h3>11x² + 2x - 3 - 5x</h3><h3>11x² - 3x - 3 ====> Option "A"</h3>
