1. Problem Description
The problem asks to multiply the matrices and .
2. Solution Steps
The matrix is a matrix and the matrix is a matrix. The product of two matrices and is defined only if the number of columns of is equal to the number of rows of . In this case, the number of columns of is 3, and the number of rows of is 3, so the product is defined. The resulting matrix will have the same number of rows as and the same number of columns as , so the product will be a matrix.
To find the product , we multiply the entries of the first row of by the corresponding entries of the first column of , and then we add the results.
AB = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 6 \\ 7 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} (3)(5) + (4)(6) + (5)(7) \end{bmatrix}
AB = \begin{bmatrix} 15 + 24 + 35 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 74 \end{bmatrix}
