SUMMARY

The discussion centers on the evaluation of the matrix product AB, where A is defined as A = (19 81; 2 10) and B as B = (9 -6; 6 -7). The term "Evaluate AB" explicitly refers to the multiplication of matrices A and B, denoted as AB = A × B. This multiplication is a fundamental operation in linear algebra, and the user seeks clarification on this notation.

hi there,

my teacher gave me the following question: 1. Evaluate AB

A= (19 81)
(2 10)

B= (9 -6)
(6 -7)

The book i have tells me how to add multiply and subtract matrices, i don't understand what evaluate AB means, is it multiply>?

Kind regards

"Evaluate AB" means "Multiply A by B".
 
Whenever two letters are together like that it always means to multiply. AB = [tex]A \times B[/tex]
