Operations of Matrices

Find the values of w,x, y and z.

• w = 13, x = 4, y = 7, z = 23

• w = 13, x = -4, y = 11, z = 23

• w = 13, x = 4, y = 11, z = 23

• w = 13, x = 4, y = 11, z = 17

Find the product of the two matrices.

• undefined

• -3   16
  17   12
  8   -10

• 3   12 
  -15  -8
  -1   -3

find: B*A

• 47     30
  9     5

• 17     15
  42     35

• 10     25
  7     1

• not possible because rows do not match columns

Find A+B

• 8     10
  8      1 

• 12     25
  7     1

• 10     30
  0     1

• can't add two together because the rows dont match columns

Find B-A

• -4     0
  6     -1

• 1     0
  1     -4

• 4       0
  -6     1

• not possible because rows do not match columns
