Answer

$\begin{bmatrix} -\frac{7}{2}&10\\ 1&-\frac{9}{2}\\ \end{bmatrix} $

Work Step by Step

Step 1. List the matrices needed: $\begin{array} \\B=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 1&2&4\\ -2&1&0 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{array} \\C=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 1/2&3\\ 2&3/2\\-2&1 \end{bmatrix} $ Step 2. Perform the operation: $\begin{array} \\BC=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 1&2&4\\ -2&1&0 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1/2&3\\ 2&3/2\\-2&1 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} (1/2+4-8)&(3+3+4)\\ (-1+2+0)&(-6+3/2+0)\\ \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} -\frac{7}{2}&10\\ 1&-\frac{9}{2}\\ \end{bmatrix} $
