Math Problem Statement
SOLVE
Solution
To solve the problem, we first need to analyze the dimensions of matrices and and determine the order of the product matrix .
Given:
- is a matrix (2 rows and 3 columns).
- is a matrix (3 rows and 4 columns).
When multiplying two matrices and , the multiplication is possible if and only if the number of columns in the first matrix () is equal to the number of rows in the second matrix (). The resulting matrix will have dimensions .
In this case:
- The number of columns of is 3, and the number of rows of is 3, so the multiplication is possible.
- The resulting matrix will have dimensions .
Conclusion:
The order of matrix is .
