The answer is:  - 6 .
_____________________________________________

Evaluate the value INSIDE the "bars". 
  b - a  =  -2  -  4  = -6 .  The absolute value of the value inside inside the bars is the "positive" number of that value.  The value is negative 6; so, the absolute value, or "magnitude", of "-6", is "6";  Then, then "-" (6) = -6.  So the answer is: -6 .

Is it possible to contruct a 4x3 matrix b and a 3x4 matrix c such that bc is invertible?
Lady bird [3.3K]
Matrix B has dimensions 4x3 
Matrix C has dimensions 3x4

Write out those dimensions like so: 4x3   3x4
The inner '3's match up so B*C is possible. The dimensions of B*C is 4x4 as these are the outer dimensions when lining up 4x3  3x4

Since B*C is a square matrix, it is possible that an inverse could exist. Keep in mind that this isn't a guarantee as the determinant of B*C could be zero (which would lead to BC being non-invertible). Though of course we'd need more info.
