Multiply the Matrices A[[-9,-9],[1,-4],[-2,-3]]

Problem

[[−9,−9],[1,−4],[−2,−3]]*[[−9,−9],[1,−4],[−2,−3]]

Solution

1. Identify the dimensions of the matrices to determine if multiplication is possible. The given matrix A is a 3×2 matrix.

2. Check the compatibility for multiplication A×A Matrix multiplication (A_m×n)×(B_p×q) requires n=p

3. Determine the inner dimensions. For A×A the number of columns in the first matrix is 2 and the number of rows in the second matrix is 3

4. Conclude that since 2≠3 the operation is undefined.

Final Answer

[[−9,−9],[1,−4],[−2,−3]]*[[−9,−9],[1,−4],[−2,−3]]=Undefined
