Answer

$\left[\begin{array}{rr} {6}&{32}\\ {1}&{3}\\ {-2}&{-4}\end{array}\right]$

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{$3$}$ matrix and B is a $\fbox{$3$}$ by $2$ matrix. The product $AB$ is defined, and is a $3$ by $2$ matrix. $AB=\left[\begin{array}{cc} {4(2)+(-2)(1)+3(0)}&{4(6)+(-2)(-1)+3(2)}\\ {0(2)+1(1)+2(0)}&{0(6)+1(-1)+2(2)}\\ {-1(2)+0(1)+1(0)}&{-1(6)+0(-1)+1(2)}\end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {6}&{32}\\ {1}&{3}\\ {-2}&{-4}\end{array}\right]$
