Square Matrix Multiplication Quiz

let A and B be two square matrcies of 3 x 3.

A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 &1 &2\\ -5 &4 &1\\0&3&-8\end{bmatrix}

B=\begin{bmatrix} 0 &5&-1\\ 3 &2 &-1\\10&0.5&4\end{bmatrix}

(a) What is the value of element c_{23} of Matrix C where C=A x B

(b) What is the value of element c_{23} of Matrix C where C=B x A

Code

Notice that A x B\neqB x A, as element c_{23} in
A x B is not the same as element c_{23} in
B x A.

Since A x B\neqB x A we say they there are not commutative. This is a very interesting observation, as multiplication of scalars is definitely commutative.
