Step-by-step solution

4 steps
  1. Identify the given matrices A and B.

    From the image, the matrices are:

    A=[132134]A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 4 \end{bmatrix} B=[−3−21131]B = \begin{bmatrix} -3 & -2 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 & 1 \end{bmatrix}
  2. Determine the dimensions of the matrices and confirm multiplication is possible.

    Matrix A has dimensions 3×23 \times 2 (3 rows, 2 columns).
    Matrix B has dimensions 2×32 \times 3 (2 rows, 3 columns).
    Since the number of columns in A (2) equals the number of rows in B (2), the multiplication ABAB is possible. The resulting matrix will have dimensions 3×33 \times 3.

  3. Calculate the product ABAB.

    To find each element (AB)ij(AB)_{ij}, multiply the elements of the ii-th row of A by the elements of the jj-th column of B and sum the products.

    For the first row of ABAB:
    (AB)11=(1)(−3)+(3)(1)=−3+3=0(AB)_{11} = (1)(-3) + (3)(1) = -3 + 3 = 0
    (AB)12=(1)(−2)+(3)(3)=−2+9=7(AB)_{12} = (1)(-2) + (3)(3) = -2 + 9 = 7
    (AB)13=(1)(1)+(3)(1)=1+3=4(AB)_{13} = (1)(1) + (3)(1) = 1 + 3 = 4

    For the second row of ABAB:
    (AB)21=(2)(−3)+(1)(1)=−6+1=−5(AB)_{21} = (2)(-3) + (1)(1) = -6 + 1 = -5
    (AB)22=(2)(−2)+(1)(3)=−4+3=−1(AB)_{22} = (2)(-2) + (1)(3) = -4 + 3 = -1
    (AB)23=(2)(1)+(1)(1)=2+1=3(AB)_{23} = (2)(1) + (1)(1) = 2 + 1 = 3

    For the third row of ABAB:
    (AB)31=(3)(−3)+(4)(1)=−9+4=−5(AB)_{31} = (3)(-3) + (4)(1) = -9 + 4 = -5
    (AB)32=(3)(−2)+(4)(3)=−6+12=6(AB)_{32} = (3)(-2) + (4)(3) = -6 + 12 = 6
    (AB)33=(3)(1)+(4)(1)=3+4=7(AB)_{33} = (3)(1) + (4)(1) = 3 + 4 = 7

  4. Write the resulting matrix ABAB.

    AB=[074−5−13−567]AB = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 7 & 4 \\ -5 & -1 & 3 \\ -5 & 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}

    The final answer is [074−5−13−567]\boxed{\begin{bmatrix} 0 & 7 & 4 \\ -5 & -1 & 3 \\ -5 & 6 & 7 \end{bmatrix}}.
