Exercise · ZW-MATRIX-MULTIPLICATION-006 · ★☆☆ Basic
If \(I\) is the \(2\times 2\) identity and \(A=\begin{pmatrix}3&-2\\1&5\end{pmatrix}\), what is \(AI\)?
Choose one option.
Show answer
- C. \(\begin{pmatrix}3&-2\\1&5\end{pmatrix}\)
Explanation
The identity is the neutral element of the product: \(AI=A\).
Review the concept: Matrix multiplication
The product \(AB\) of two matrices \(A\) and \(B\), when \(A\) has as many columns as \(B\) has rows, is the matrix whose \((i,j)\) entry combines row \(i\) of \(A\) with column \(j\) of \(B\).
\[(AB)_{ij}=\sum_{k=1}^{n}a_{ik}b_{kj}\]
