Answer:

option C. Defined, 3 x 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of matrix A is 3 x 2 i.e 3 rows and 2 columns

The order of matrix B is 2 x 3 i.e. 2 rows and 3 columns

Two matrices can be multiplied if and only if the number of columns of 1st matrix is equal to the number of rows of 2nd matrix. Since the number of columns in matrix A is equal to the number of rows in matrix B, the product AB is defined.

The product AB will have number of rows equal to the rows of 1st matrix i.e. matrix A and number of columns equal to the columns of 2nd matrix i.e. matrix B.

So the order of AB will be 3 x 3 .

Therefore, the correct answer is option C. Defined 3 x 3

4^(12-4x)=256 realize that 256 is 4^4 so we really have:

4^(12-4x)=4^4 taking the natural log of both sides

(12-4x)ln4=4ln4 dividing both sides by ln4

12-4x=4 subtract 12 from both sides

-4x=-8 divide both sides by -4

x=2

$A=\dfrac{1}{2}ah\\
a=25 \text{ mm}\\
h=14 \text{ mm}\\\\
A=\dfrac{1}{2}\cdot25\cdot14\\
A=175 \text{ mm}^2 \Rightarrow C$
