Multiply Matrices

A. Use matrices and to

find AB, if possible.

AB = Dimensions of A: 3 X 2,

Dimensions of B: 2 X 3

Multiply Matrices

A is a 3 X 2 matrix and B is a 2 X 3 matrix. Because the number of columns for A is equal to the number of rows for B, the product AB exists.

To find the first entry in AB, write the sum of the products of the entries in row 1 of A and in column 1 of B.

Multiply Matrices

Follow the same procedure to find the entry for row 1, column 2 of AB.

Continue multiplying each row by each column to find the sum for each entry.

Multiply Matrices

Finally, simplify each sum.

FOOTBALL The number of touchdowns (TD), field goals (FG), points after touchdown (PAT), and two-point conversions (2EP) for the three top teams in the high school league for this season is shown in the table below. The other table shows the number of points each type of score is worth. Use the information to determine the team that scored the most points.

Multiply Matrices

Let matrix X represent the Team/Score matrix, and let matrix Y represent the Score/Points matrix. Then find the product XY.

Multiply Matrices

The product XY represents the teams and the total number of points each team scored this season. You can use the product matrix to determine which team scored the most points.

Answer: Tigers

The Tigers scored the most points.

CAR SALES A car dealership sells four types of vehicles; compact cars (CC), full size cars (FS), trucks (T), and sports utility vehicles (SUV).

Which vehicle brought in the greatest revenue during the month?

A. compact cars

B. full size cars

C. trucks

D. sports utility vehicles

Solve a System of Linear Equations

Write the system of equations as a matrix equation, AX = B. Then use Gauss-Jordan elimination on the augmented matrix to solve for X.2x1 + 2x2 + 3x3 = 3x1 + 3x2 + 2x3 = 53x1 + x2 + x3 = 4
