Answer

$$\begin{bmatrix} {-1}&{2}&{-1}\\ {0}&{-12}&{3}\\ {15}&{30}&{0}\end{bmatrix}$$

Work Step by Step

Since $A$ is a $3 \times 2$ matrix and $B$ is a $2 \times 3$ matrix, the product $AB$ is defined as a $3 \times 3$ matrix. $$AB=\begin{bmatrix} {(1)(2)+(-1)(3)}&{1(8)+(-1)(6)}&{(1)(-1)+(-1)(0)}\\ {(-3)(2)+2(3)}&{(-3)(8)+2(6)}&{(-3)(-1)+2(0)} \\{(0)(2)+(5)(3)}&{(0)(8)+5(6)}&{0(-1)+(5)(0)}\end{bmatrix}\\=\begin{bmatrix} {2-3}&{8-6}&{-1+0}\\ {-6+6}&{-24+12}&{3+0} \\{0+15}&{0+30}&{0+0}\end{bmatrix}\\=\begin{bmatrix} {-1}&{2}&{-1}\\ {0}&{-12}&{3}\\ {15}&{30}&{0}\end{bmatrix}$$
