a) To calculate matrix times vector Ax, we calculate this row by row: the first entry of the resulting vector is "row 1 of the matrix times the vector". In general:
(a11a12a13a21a22a23)(x1x2x3)=(a11x1+a12x2+a13x3a21x1+a22x2+a23x3)
So the vector x needs to have as many entries as the matrix has columns, and the resulting vector Ax has as many entries as A has rows.
(3230−3−1)(300)=(3⋅3+2⋅0+3⋅00⋅3+(−3)⋅0+(−1)⋅0)=(90)
(3230−3−1)(−2−31)=(3⋅(−2)+2⋅(−3)+3⋅10⋅(−2)+(−3)⋅(−3)+(−1)⋅1)=(−98)
(000000)(300)=(0⋅3+0⋅0+0⋅00⋅3+0⋅0+0⋅0)=(00)
(000000)(−2−31)=(0⋅(−2)+0⋅(−3)+0⋅10⋅(−2)+0⋅(−3)+0⋅1)=(00)
b) As explained above, the matrix A can take a vector x with 3 entries as input, and gives a vector Ax with 3 entries as output. This is a matrix transformation TA:R3→R2, i.e. n=3 and m=2.
c) As n=3, we calculate (3230−3−1)(x1x2x3)=(3x1+2x2+3x3−3x2−x3)
