Answer:

a. AB: 3 by 7

b. BA: N by N

c. A^TB: N by N

d. BC: 6 by 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

A =3\ by\ 6

B =6\ by\ 7

C =7\ by\ 3

Required

The dimension of the following matrices

As a general rule:

For A * B to be successful, the columns in a must equal the rows in B

Using this rule, we have:

A_{m*n} * B_{n * p} = AB_{m*p}

So:

(a)\ AB

A_{3*6} * B_{6*7} \to AB_{3 * 7}

(b)\ BA

B_{6*7} * A_{3*6} \to AB_{N * N}

The column numbers of B does not equal the row numbers of A.

Hence, BA does not exist

(c)\ A^TB

A^T implies that:

If A =3\ by\ 6, then

A^T = 6\ by\ 3

So:

A^T_{6*3} * B_{6,7} \to A^TB_{N*N}

The column numbers of A^T does not equal the row numbers of B.

Hence, A^TB does not exist

(d)\ BC

B_{6*7} * C_{7*3} \to BC_{6,3}

Vilka [71]

Answer:

see the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The complete question is</em></u>

The first three steps of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation x2 +4x -6= 0, are shown below.

Step 1: x2 +4x= 6

Step 2: x2 +4x+4=6+4

Step 3: (x +2)^2=10

What are the next 3 steps?​

we have

step 4

Take square root both sides

\sqrt{(x+2)^2} =\sqrt{10}

step 5

Simplify

x+2=\pm\sqrt{10}

step 6

Solve for x

subtract 2 both sides

x=-2\pm\sqrt{10}

x_1=-2+\sqrt{10}

x_2=-2-\sqrt{10}
