Answer

a. 2$\times$3 b. $a_{32}$ does not exist, $a_{23}$= $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$

Work Step by Step

A matrix of order $m\times n$ has $m$ rows and $n$ columns. $a_{ij}$ is the element of the matrix in row i, column j. --------------- a. the matrix has m = 2 rows and n = 3 columns, so its order is 2$\times$3 b. $a_{32}$= the element in row 3 (does not exist), column 2, does not exist, $a_{23}$= the element in row 2, column 3 = $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}$
