Chapter 7: Problem 10
Given the matrices \(\mathbf{A}\) and \(\mathbf{B}\), find the product \(\mathbf{A B}\). Also, find the product BA in each case in which it is defined. $$ \mathbf{A}=\left(\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 4 & -1 & -2 \\ -1 & 0 & 5 \end{array}\right), \quad \mathbf{B}=\left(\begin{array}{rrr} 6 & 4 & 2 \\ 3 & -1 & -3 \\ 0 & 2 & -4 \end{array}\right) $$

Key Concepts
These are the key concepts you need to understand to accurately answer the question.
Dot Product
- Multiply each pair of corresponding elements
- Add those results together
3x3 Matrices
- Each matrix has three rows
- Each matrix has three columns
Matrix Product Verification
To go forward with multiplication for \( \mathbf{AB} \) and \( \mathbf{BA} \), we check:
- Matrix \( \mathbf{A} \) is 3x3 and matrix \( \mathbf{B} \) is 3x3
- The number of columns in \( \mathbf{A} \) matches the number of rows in \( \mathbf{B} \)
- Likewise, the number of columns in \( \mathbf{B} \) matches the number of rows in \( \mathbf{A} \)
Matrix Dimensions
For a matrix \( m \times n \):
- \( m \) indicates the number of rows
- \( n \) indicates the number of columns
