1. Problem Description

The problem asks to multiply the matrices A=[345]A = \begin{bmatrix} 3 & 4 & 5 \end{bmatrix} and B=[567]B = \begin{bmatrix} 5 \\ 6 \\ 7 \end{bmatrix}.

2. Solution Steps

The matrix AA is a 1×31 \times 3 matrix and the matrix BB is a 3×13 \times 1 matrix. The product of two matrices AA and BB is defined only if the number of columns of AA is equal to the number of rows of BB. In this case, the number of columns of AA is 3, and the number of rows of BB is 3, so the product ABAB is defined. The resulting matrix will have the same number of rows as AA and the same number of columns as BB, so the product ABAB will be a 1×11 \times 1 matrix.
To find the product ABAB, we multiply the entries of the first row of AA by the corresponding entries of the first column of BB, 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}

3. Final Answer

[74]\begin{bmatrix} 74 \end{bmatrix}
