Product of Two Matrices

Product of Two Matrices

Let A be an m \times n matrix and let B be an n \times  k  matrix. To find the element in

the ith row and jth column of the product matrix AB, multiply each element in

the ith row of A by the corresponding element in the jth column of B, and then

add these products. The product matrix AB is an m \times  k matrix.

Example:-

A = \begin{bmatrix}  2 & 3 &-1 \\  4 & 2 & 2  \end{bmatrix} and B\begin{bmatrix}  1\\  8\\  6  \end{bmatrix}.

Then AB = \begin{bmatrix}  2 & 2 & -1\\  4 & 2 & 2  \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}  1\\  8\\  6  \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}  20\\  32  \end{bmatrix}
