Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{rrr} {-1}&{2}&{-1}\\ {0}&{-12}&{3}\\ {15}&{30}&{0}\end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

Let $A$ denote an $m$ by $\fbox{$r$}$ matrix and let $B$ denote an $\fbox{$r$}$ by $n$ matrix. The product $AB$ is defined as the $m$ by $n$ matrix whose entry in row $i,$ column $j$ is the product of the $i$ th row of $A$ and the $j$ th column of $B$ . --- $A$ is a $3$ by $\fbox{$2$}$ matrix and B is a $\fbox{$2$}$ by $3$ matrix. The product $AB$ is defined, and is a $3$ by $3$ matrix. $AB=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} {1(2)+(-1)(3)}&{1(8)+(-1)(6)}&{1(-1)+(-1)(0)}\\ {(-3)(2)+2(3)}&{(-3)(8)+2(6)}&{(-3)(-1)+2(0)} \\{0(2)+5(3)}&{0(8)+5(6)}&{0(-1)+5(0)}\end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} {-1}&{2}&{-1}\\ {0}&{-12}&{3}\\ {15}&{30}&{0}\end{array}\right]$
