Practicing Success
Let A, B, C be matrices of order p × k, 3 × k and n × 3 respectively, then the conditions on n, k and p so that AB + CB will be defined are : |
k = 2, p = 3 k = 3, p = n k = n k is arbitrary, p = 2 |
k = 3, p = n |
A → p × k B → 3 × k C → n × 3 for AB & CB to be defined for AB = k = 3 for CB = 3 = 3 (corresponding row and columns) order (AB) = p × k order (CB) = n × k So AB + CD ⇒ order (AB) = order (CB) so $p × k=n × k$ $⇒p=n$ so $k=3,p=n$ |
