Work Step by Step

The product of an $m\times n$ matrix and an $n\times p$ matrix is an $m\times p$ matrix. The element in the ith row and $j$th column of $BD$ is found by multiplying each element in the $i$th row of $B$ by the corresponding element in the $j$th column of $D$ and adding the products. $B$ is a $3\times\underline{2}$ matrix, $D$ is $\underline{2}\times 3.$ $BD$ exists and is a $3\times 3$ matrix. $BD=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 0(-2)-2(3) & 0(3)-2(-2) & 0(1)-2(4)\\ 3(-2)+2(3) & 3(3)+2(-2) & 3(1)+2(41)\\ 1(-2)-5(3) & 1(3)-5(-2) & 1(1)-5(4) \end{array}\right]$ $=\left[\begin{array}{lll} -6 & 4 & -8\\ 0 & 5 & 11\\ -17 & 13 & -19 \end{array}\right]$
