Question statement

Let $A=\var{A}$ , $B=\var{B}$ , $C=\var{C}$ , $D=\var{D}$ , $E=\var{F}$ .

You will be asked to

Determine whether certain matrix products exist.
Calculate certain matrix products.
Calculate the transpose of all matrices.
Calculate some more complicated matrix products.

When you have finished the calculations, think about what you have noticed and how this links to the theory from lectures. You can discuss this part in your Feedback Sessions.

Give any introductory information the student needs.

Advice

Which product exists?

We can multiply an $m\times k$ matrix and a $k\times n$ matrix, i.e. the number of columns of the first matrix and the number of rows of the second matrix have to match. The resulting product has size $m\times n$ .

$A$ has size $3\times 2$ , $B$ has size $2\times 2$ , so $AB$ exists but $BA$ doesn't.

$C$ has size $2\times 3$ , so both $AC$ and $CA$ exist.

$D$ hase size $3\times 3$ , so $AD$ doesn't exist but $DA$ exists.

Compute some matrix products

To compute the product, we work out "row $i$ of first matrix times column $j$ of second matrix" for each entry $i,j$ of the product, for example:

$\var{generalA}\var{generalB}=\var{generalAB}.$

So we have:

$AB=\var{A}\var{B}=\var{unresolvedAB}=\var{A*B}$

and

$\var{firstmatrixname}\var{secondmatrixname}=\var{firstmatrix}\var{secondmatrix}=\var{unresolvedRandomProduct}=\var{firstmatrix*secondmatrix}$

Transpose a matrix

When we transpose a matrix, we switch rows and columns: $(A^T)_{ij}=A_{ji}$ .

$A^T=\var{transpose(A)}, \quad B^T=\var{transpose(B)}, \quad C^T=\var{transpose(C)}, \quad D^T=\var{transpose(D)}, \quad E^T=\var{transpose(F)}.$

You can see that $A^T$ has size $2\times 3$ and $B^T$ has size $2\times 2$ , so now $A^TB^T$ does not exist as the middle sizes don't match, but $B^TA^T$ exists.

Compute further products

$B^TA^T=\var{unresolvedBTAT}=\var{transpose(B)*transpose(A)}$

Notice that $B^TA^T=(AB)^T$ . This is a general rule. So since $BA$ does not exist, $(BA)^T=A^TB^T$ also does not exist.

$A(BC)=\var{A}\var{B*C}=\var{A*B*C}$ and $(AB)C=\var{A*B}\var{C}=\var{A*B*C}$ . We notice that we get the same answer: matrix multiplication is associative. The point here is to "experience" this general rule on an example.

$CC^T=\var{C}\var{transpose(C)}=\var{unresolvedCCT}=\var{C*transpose(C)}$ .
