We have been given two matrices a and b. A has 6 rows and 7 columns, while b has 7 rows and 8 columns.
Since we know that order matters in matrix multiplication. In order for matrix multiplication to be defined number of columns in the first matrix should be equal to the number of rows of in the second matrix.
We can see that number of columns in matrix a and number of rows in matrix b is 7.
Therefore, size of ab will be equal to number of rows of matrix a and number of columns of matrix b that is 6 by 8.
Now we will see whether ba is defined or not. We can see columns in matrix b are 8 and rows in matrix a are 6, which is not equal. So we can say that ba is not defined.
Therefore, size of ba is not defined (dne).
Answer:
Factor x2+5x+6x2+5x+6 using the AC method.
(x+2)(x+3)
If we say A = ream of paper and B = cost of ink than we can set-up an expression to calculate when A is equal to a number what the number of B will be.
Maximim of 270$ so anything we buy must be equal to this.
Ream of paper cost 6$ each so 6A represents the number of reams bought since we said A is number of reams of paper.
Ink Cartridges are 18$ each so 18B would represent this based on B = to cost of ink.
Now setting up our equation
6A + 18B = 270
When A = 1
B = 14.67 Ink Cartridges
When A = 1 Ream ofpaper
Yes the answer would be B
