Math Problem Statement
What is the result of multiplying the column vector (-1, 3, -2) by the row vector (3, -2)?
Solution
The problem shown in the image is a matrix multiplication between a column vector and a row vector. The vectors are:
-1 \\ 3 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} \cdot \begin{pmatrix} 3 & -2 \end{pmatrix}$$ This type of multiplication results in a matrix where each element is the product of corresponding elements from the column vector and row vector. So, we will multiply each element in the column by each element in the row to form a 3x2 matrix. Let's calculate it: $$\begin{pmatrix} -1 \times 3 & -1 \times (-2) \\ 3 \times 3 & 3 \times (-2) \\ -2 \times 3 & -2 \times (-2) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} -3 & 2 \\ 9 & -6 \\ -6 & 4 \end{pmatrix}$$ So, the result of this multiplication is: $$\begin{pmatrix} -3 & 2 \\ 9 & -6 \\ -6 & 4 \end{pmatrix}$$ Would you like further clarification, or have any additional questions?
