Chapter 2: Problem 13
Let \(X=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-1 & -1 & 1\end{array}\right]\) and \(Y=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0 & 1 & 2\end{array}\right] .\) Find \(X^{T} Y\) and \(X Y^{T}\) if possible.
Short Answer
Expert verified
The matrices are \( X^T Y = \begin{bmatrix}0 & -1 & -2 \ 0 & -1 & -2 \ 0 & 1 & 2 \ ...\] and \[ X Y^T = 1,...\] .
Step by step solution
01
- Understand the Matrix Dimensions
Identify the dimensions of both matrices. Matrix X is a 1x3 matrix, and matrix Y is also a 1x3 matrix.
02
- Check Compatibility for Multiplication
To determine if the multiplication is possible, check dimensions. For multiplication of two matrices A (m x n) and B (p x q) to be possible, the number of columns in A (n) must be equal to the number of rows in B (p).
03
- Calculate the Transpose of X
The transpose of matrix X, denoted as X^T, is obtained by switching its rows and columns. Matrix X: \(X = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -1 & 1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix}\) Transpose X: \(X^T = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \ -1 \ 1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix}\)
04
- Multiply X^T and Y
We can now multiply X^T (3x1) and Y (1x3): \[ X^T \times Y = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \ -1 \ 1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 & 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \times 0 & -1 \times 1 & -1 \times 2 \ -1 \times 0 & -1 \times 1 & -1 \times 2 \ 1 \times 0 & 1 \times 1 & 1 \times 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & -1 & -2 \ 0 & -1 & -2 \ 0 & 1 & 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix}onumber\textrm{\]Mat...
05
- Check Compatibility for XY^T
Determine if \( X \times Y^T \) is possible. X is a 1x3 matrix, and Y^T is a 3x1 matrix.
06
- Calculate the Transpose of Y
The transpose of matrix Y is obtained by switching its rows and columns. \Matrix Y: \( Y = \begin{bmatrix}0 & 1 & 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix}\)Transpose Y: \( Y^T = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \ 1 \ 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix} \)
07
- Multiply X and Y^T
Multiply X (1x3) and Y^T (3x1): \( X \times Y^T = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -1 & 1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix} \times \begin{bmatrix}0 \ 1 \ 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \times 0 + -1 \times 1 + 1 \times 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix}\)

Key Concepts
These are the key concepts you need to understand to accurately answer the question.
Matrix Transpose
To understand matrix transpose, imagine flipping a matrix over its diagonal. This means switching the matrix's rows with columns. For example, if we take Matrix X:
- \( X = \begin{bmatrix} -1 & -1 & 1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix} \)
- \( X^T = \begin{bmatrix} -1 \ -1 \ 1 \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix} \)
Matrix Dimensions
Matrix dimensions tell us how many rows and columns a matrix has. For example, Matrix X is a \(1\times3\) matrix:
- 1 row
- 3 columns
Matrix Multiplication Compatibility
Not all matrices can be multiplied together. To multiply two matrices, their dimensions must be compatible. For two matrices A (\(m\)\(x\)\(n\)) and B (\(p\)\(x\)\(q\)):
- The number of columns in A (\(n\)) must be equal to the number of rows in B (\(p\)).
- \(X^T\) is \(3\times1\)
- Y is \(1\times3\)
- X is \( 1 \times 3 \)
- \( Y^T \) is \( 3\times 1 \)
Calculating Transpose
Calculating the transpose of a matrix is simple and follows a clear rule: swap rows with columns. Taking Matrix Y as an example:
- Original Y: \( Y = \begin{bmatrix} 0 & 1 & 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix}\)
- Switch the lone row into a column.
- Transpose Y: \( Y^T = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \ 1 \ 2 \ \ \ \ \ \ \end{bmatrix}\)
