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 $B.$ --- $a.$ $DA$ is defined ( a 1$\times$2 matrix multiplies a 2$\times$2 matrix) $DA $ is a 1$\times$2 matrix. $(DA)B$ is defined ( a 1$\times$2 matrix multiplies a 2$\times 3$ matrix) $(DA)B$ is a 1$\times$3 matrix. $DA=[7(2)+3(0) \ \ 7(-5)+3(7)]=[14 \ \ -14]$ $(DA)B=[14(3)+(-14)(1) \ \ 14(1/2)+(-14)(-1) \ \ 14(5)+(-14)(3)]$ $=[28 \ \ 21 \ \ 28]$ $b.$ $AB$ is defined ( a $ 2\times$2 matrix multiplies a 2$\times 3$ matrix) $AB $ is a $2\times 3$ matrix. $D(AB )$ is defined ( a $ 1\times$2 matrix multiplies a 2$\times 3$ matrix) $D(AB )$ is a $ 1\times$3 matrix. $AB=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 2(3)+(-5)(1) & 2(1/2)+(-5)(-1) & 2(5)+(-5)(3)\\ 0(3)+7(1) & 0(1/2)+7(-1) & 0(5)+7(3) \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 6 & -5\\ 7 & -7 & 21 \\ & & \end{array}\right]$ $D(AB )=[7(1)+3(7) \quad 7(6)+3(-7) \quad 7(-5)+3(21)]$ $=[28 \ \ 21 \ \ 28]$
