Question

Select the correct answer. A and АВ: Which matrix is matrix B?

Answer 1

Answer:

Option B

Step-by-step explanation:

Looking at the options, option B is correct because when multiplying it by matrix A, it yields the matrix AB as follows;

First row of A multiplied by first column of matrix in option D;

(1 × -1) + (0 × 0) + (0 × 0) = -1 which corresponds to the first number on the first row of Matrix AB

Since majority of matrix AB are zero, I will just prove the ones that are not zero.

Thus;

Second row of matrix A is multiplied by second column of matrix in option D;

(0 × 0) + (-1 × -1) + (0 × 0) = 1 which is same as 2nd number on second row in matrix AB

Lastly, third row of matrix A is multiplied by third column of matrix in option D;

(0 × 0) + (0 × 0) + (1 × -1) = -1 which is same as third number in third row in matrix AB
