Please help! Correct answer only, please! I need to finish this assgnment this week! Matrix P has a dimensions of 3 X 4 and Matr
ix Q has the dimensions 4 X 5. Determine the dimensions of the matrix PQ if it is possible. Explain why if it is not. (refer to video part 4) Group of answer choices A. Matrix PQ would have the dimensions 3 X 4 B. Matrix PQ would have the dimensions 4 X 5 C. Matrix PQ would have the dimensions 3 X 5 D. These matrices can not be multiplied because their dimension don't align.
Your answer is correct! When you multiply 2 matrices, the inner dimensions have to be equal. If they are equal, the resulting dimensions would be the outer dimentions.
(<u>3</u>×4)(4×<u>5</u>)
Since the inner (bolded) dimensions are the same, in this case 4×4, we know these matrices can be multiplied.
Since these matrices can be multiplied, the product will be 3×5, the underlined outer dimensions.
