Vocabulary



In Lesson 4-1, you multiplied matrices by a number called a scalar. You can also multiply matrices together. The product of two or more matrices is the matrix product. The following rules apply when multiplying matrices.

• Matrices A and B can be multiplied only if the number of columns in A equals the number of rows in B.

• The product of an m n and an n p matrix is an m p matrix.



An m n matrix A can be identified by using the notation Am n.

Helpful Hint



Tell whether the product is defined. If so, give its dimensions.

Example 1A: Identifying Matrix Products

A3 4 and B4 2; AB

A B AB

3 4 4 2 = 3 2 matrix

The inner dimensions are equal (4 = 4), so the matrix product is defined. The dimensions of the product are the outer numbers, 3 2.




Example 1B: Identifying Matrix Products

C1 4 and D3 4; CD

C D

1 4 3 4

The inner dimensions are not equal (4 ≠ 3), so the matrix product is not defined.

The inner dimensions are equal (5 = 5), so the matrix product is defined. The dimensions of the product are the outer numbers, 4 3.



Just as you look across the columns of A and down the rows of B to see if a product AB exists, you do the same to find the entries in a matrix product.





Example 2A: Finding the Matrix Product

Find the product, if possible.WX

Check the dimensions. W is 3 2 , X is 2 3 . WX is defined and is 3 3.



Example 2A Continued

Multiply row 1 of W and column 1 of X as shown. Place the result in wx11.

3(4) + –2(5)





3(7) + –2(1)





3(–2) + –2(–1)





1(4) + 0(5)





1(7) + 0(1)





1(–2) + 0(–1)





2(4) + –1(5)





2(7) + –1(1)





2(–2) + –1(–1)



Example 2B: Finding the Matrix Product

Find each product, if possible.XW

Check the dimensions. X is 2 3, and W is 3 2 so the product is defined and is 2 2.



Example 2C: Finding the Matrix Product

Find each product, if possible.XY

Check the dimensions. X is 2 3, and Y is 2 2. The product is not defined. The matrices cannot be multiplied in this order.




Find the product, if possible.

BC

Check the dimensions. B is 3 2, and C is 2 2 so the product is defined and is 3 2.




Find the product, if possible.

CA

Check the dimensions. C is 2 2, and A is 2 3 so the product is defined and is 2 3.



Businesses can use matrix multiplication to find total revenues, costs, and profits.



Two stores held sales on their videos and DVDs, with prices as shown. Use the sales data to determine how much money each store brought in from the sale on Saturday.

Example 3: Inventory Application

Use a product matrix to find the sales of each store for each day.



Example 3 Continued

On Saturday, Video World made $851.05 and Star Movies made $832.50.

A square matrix is any matrix that has the same number of rows as columns; it is an n × n matrix. The main diagonal of a square matrix is the diagonal from the upper left corner to the lower right corner.

The multiplicative identity matrix is any square matrix, named with the letter I, that has all of the entries along the main diagonal equal to 1 and all of the other entries equal to 0.



Because square matrices can be multiplied by themselves any number of times, you can find powers of square matrices.
