Answer

$\begin{bmatrix} -\frac{11}{2}&4&2\\ -1&\frac{11}{2}&8\\-4&-3&-8\end{bmatrix}$

Work Step by Step

Step 1. List the matrices needed: $\begin{array} \\C=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 1/2&3\\ 2&3/2\\-2&1 \end{bmatrix}, \begin{array} \\B=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 1&2&4\\ -2&1&0 \end{bmatrix} $ Step 2. Perform the operation: $\begin{array} \\CB=\\ \end{array} \begin{bmatrix} 1/2&3\\ 2&3/2\\-2&1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1&2&4\\ -2&1&0 \end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix} 1/2-6&1+3&2+0\\ 2-3&4+3/2&8+0\\-2-2&-4+1&-8+0 \end{bmatrix} =\begin{bmatrix} -\frac{11}{2}&4&2\\ -1&\frac{11}{2}&8\\-4&-3&-8\end{bmatrix}$
