Answer

$a.\qquad AH=\left[\begin{array}{rr} -4 & 7\\ 14 & -7 \end{array}\right]$ $b.\qquad HA=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 6 & 8\\ 6 & -17 \end{array}\right]$

Work Step by Step

If $A$ is an $m\times n$ matrix and $B$ is an $n\times k$ matrix (so the number of columns of $A$ is the same as the number of rows of $B$), then the matrix product $AB$ is the $m\times k$ matrix whose $ij$-entry is the inner product of the $i\mathrm{t}\mathrm{h}$ row of $A$ and the jth column of $B.$ --- D is a 1$\times$2 matrix. H is a 2$\times$2 matrix $a.$ $AH$ is defined, and is a 2$\times$2 matrix $[AH]_{11}$= (row 1 in $A$) times (column 1 in $H$)$=2(3)+(-5)(2)=-4$ $[AH]_{12}$= (row 1 in $A$) times (column 2 in $H$)$=2(1)+(-5)(-1)=7$ $[AH]_{21}$= (row $2$ in $A$) times (column 1 in $H$)$=0(3)+7(2)=14$ $[AH]_{22}$= (row $2$ in $A$) times (column 2 in $H$)$=0(1)+7(-1)=-7$ $AH=\left[\begin{array}{ll} -4 & 7\\ 14 & -7 \end{array}\right]$ $b.$ $HA$ is defined, and is a 2$\times$2 matrix $[HA]_{11}$= (row 1 in $H$) times (column 1 in $A$)$=3(2)+1(0)=6$ $[HA]_{12}$= (row 1 in $H$) times (column 2 in $A$)$=3(-5)+1(7)=8$ $[HA]_{21}$= (row $2$ in $H$) times (column 1 in $A$)$=2(2)+(-1)(0)=6$ $[HA]_{22}$= (row $2$ in $H$) times (column 2 in $A$)$=2(-5)+(-1)(7)=-17$ $HA=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 6 & 8\\ 6 & -17 \end{array}\right]$
