Answer

Row by row, the missing entries are $p_{12}$ =$9$ $p_{23}$ = $0$ $p_{31}$ = $4$

Work Step by Step

If $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix and $B$ is an $n\times k$ matrix (so the number of columns of $A$ is the same as the number of rows of $B$), then the matrix product $AB$ is the $m\times k$ matrix whose $ij$-entry is the inner product of the $i\mathrm{t}\mathrm{h}$ row of $A$ and the jth column of $B.$ --- Naming the product matrix $P=[p_{ij}],$ $p_{12}$ = (row 1 in A) times (column 2 in B)$=3(3)+1(-2)+2(1)=9$ $p_{23}$ = (row $2$ in A) times (column $3$ in B)$=-1(-2)+2(-1)+0(0)=0$ $p_{31}$ = (row $3$ in A) times (column $1$ in B)$=1(-1)+3(3)+(-2)(2)= 4$
