Find (if possible) the following matrices: a. \(A B\) b. \(B A\) $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rrrr} {2} & {-1} & {3} & {2} \\ {1} & {0} & {-2} & {1} \end{array}\right], \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {-1} & {2} \\ {1} & {1} \\ {3} & {-4} \\ {6} & {5} \end{array}\right] $$
Solve each system of equations using matrices. Use Gaussian elimination with back-substitution or Gauss-Jordan elimination. $$ \left\\{\begin{aligned} 3 a+b-c &=0 \\ 2 a+3 b-5 c &=1 \\ a-2 b+3 c &=-4 \end{aligned}\right. $$
Let $$ \begin{aligned} A &=\left[\begin{array}{cc} {1} & {0} \\ {0} & {1} \end{array}\right], \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {1} & {0} \\ {0} & {-1} \end{array}\right], \quad C=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {-1} & {0} \\ {0} & {1} \end{array}\right] \\ D &=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {-1} & {0} \\ {0} & {-1} \end{array}\right] \end{aligned} $$ Find the product of the difference between A and B and the sum of C and D.
Explaining the Concepts What is the difference between Gaussian elimination and Gauss-Jordan elimination?
Find (if possible) the following matrices: a. \(A B\) b. \(B A\) $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} {2} & {4} \\ {3} & {1} \\ {4} & {2} \end{array}\right], \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} {3} & {2} & {0} \\ {-1} & {-3} & {5} \end{array}\right] $$
