If A and B are 9 times 3 matrices and C is a 6 times 9 matri
If A and B are 9 times 3 matrices, and C is a 6 times 9 matrix, which of the following are defined? A^T C^T B + A B^T AC CB C - A
Solution
A = 9 x 3
B = 9 x 3
C = 6 x 9
A)
AtCt
At will be 3 x 9
Ct will be 9 x 6
Notice the row of At = Column of Ct
So, yes, defined
B)
B + A
Of course defined as B and A have the same order
c)
Bt --> defined
d) AC :
A = 9 x 3
C = 6 x 9
Undefined as columns of A is not equal to rows of C
e) CB :
C = 6 x 9
B = 9 x 3
Yes, defined
f)
C - A :
Undefined as orders are not the same and thus,
these cannot be subtracted
DEfined :
Only A , B , C , E
