Matrix Multiplication
If A, B, and C are matrices and k is an integer, then matrix multiplication is: Associative: A(BC) = (AB)C Left Distributive: A(B+C) = AB+BC Right Distributive: (A+B)C=AC +BC Associative with Scalar Multiplication: k(AB) = (kA)B = A(kB) It is not commutative: AB ≠ BA

Matrix Multiplication
You can multiply matrices only if the number of columns in the first matrix equals the number of rows in the second matrix. 2 columns 2 rows

Matrix Multiplication
Notice the dimensions of the matrices and their product. Note that if it had been a 2x3●3x2, the result would have been a 2x2 matrix. Commutative does not work! 3 x 2 2 x 3 3 x 3 __ __ __ __
5
State Whether the Product is Defined for Matrices A and B
A: 3X6, B:6x2 AB is a 3x2 matrix and is defined! A: 2X7, B: 1X7 AB is not defined! A: 4X2, B: 2X5 AB is a 4x5 matrix and is defined!
