Question

The matrices A, B, C, D, E, F , and G are defined as follows. A=[ 2 -5 ] [ 0 7 ] B= [ 3 1/2 5 ] [ 1-1 3 ] C=[ 2 -5/2 0 ] [ 0 2 - 3 ] D=[ 7 3 ] [ 1 ] E=[ 2 ] [ 0 ] [ 1 0 0 ] F= [ 0 1 0 ] [ 0 0 1 ] [ 5 -3 10 ] G=[ 6 1 0 ] [ -5 2 2 ] H = [ 3 1 ] [ 2 -1 ] Carry out the indicated algebraic operation, or explain why it cannot be performed. B+C

Answer 1

The algebraic operation B+C cannot be performed because the matrices have different dimensions.

Step-by-step explanation:

To carry out the algebraic operation B+C, we need to add the corresponding elements of matrices B and C. However, B and C have different dimensions, so the operation cannot be performed.
