Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{c} {3}\\ {-4}\\ {0}\\ {3}\end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

If $A$ is an $m\times\boxed{n }$ matrix and $B$ is an $\boxed{n }\times k$ matrix, then the product $AB$ is the $m\times k$ matrix whose $ij-$th entry is the product $(AB)_{ij}=[a_{i1}\ a_{i2}\ a_{i3}\ \ldots\ a_{in}]\left[\begin{array}{l} b_{1j}\\ b_{2j}\\ b_{3j}\\ \vdots\\ b_{nj} \end{array}\right]$ $=a_{i1}b_{1j}+a_{i2}b_{2j}+a_{i3}b_{3j}+\cdots+a_{in}b_{nj}$. ------- Here, A is a $4\times 4$ matrix, B is a $4\times 1$ matrix AB is defined, and is a $4\times 1$ matrix. $AB=\left[\begin{array}{c} {(1+0+2+0)}\\ {(-1-3+0+0)}\\ {(-2+0+2+0)}\\ {(0+3+0+0)}\end{array}\right]$$=\left[\begin{array}{c} {3}\\ {-4}\\ {0}\\ {3}\end{array}\right]$
