1. No, they must have the same dimensions. An example would include two matrices of different dimensions. One cannot add the following two matrices because the first is a [latex]2\times 2[/latex] matrix and the second is a [latex]2\times 3[/latex] matrix. [latex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 2\\ 3& 4\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6& 5& 4\\ 3& 2& 1\end{array}\right][/latex] has no sum. 3. Yes, if the dimensions of [latex]A[/latex] are [latex]m\times n[/latex] and the dimensions of [latex]B[/latex] are [latex]n\times m,\text{}[/latex] both products will be defined. 5. Not necessarily. To find [latex]AB,\text{}[/latex] we multiply the first row of [latex]A[/latex] by the first column of [latex]B[/latex] to get the first entry of [latex]AB[/latex]. To find [latex]BA,\text{}[/latex] we multiply the first row of [latex]B[/latex] by the first column of [latex]A[/latex] to get the first entry of [latex]BA[/latex]. Thus, if those are unequal, then the matrix multiplication does not commute. 7. [latex]\left[\begin{array}{cc}11& 19\\ 15& 94\\ 17& 67\end{array}\right][/latex] 9.
