If , find A
We are given the following matrix equation,
We need to determine the value of A.
Take L.H.S:
Order of X = 1 × 3
Order of Y = 3 × 3
Then, the order of matrix Z (say) = 1 × 3 [Let Z = XY]
Multiply 1st row of matrix X by matching members of 1st column of matrix Y, then finally sum them up.
Multiply 1st row of matrix X by matching members of 2nd column of matrix Y, then finally sum them up.
Multiply 1st row of matrix X by matching members of 3rd column of matrix Y, then finally sum them up.
So, we have,
Order of Z = 1 × 3
Order of Q = 3 × 1
Then, order of the resulting matrix = 1 × 1
Multiply the 1st row of matrix Z by matching members of the 1st column of matrix Q, then finally sum them up.
