Final answer:

To compute the result when given matrices A and D, either add or subtract their corresponding elements. Matrix addition example yields ADD = [3 -4; -6 5], and subtraction yields AD = [3 2; 4 3].

Step-by-step explanation:

To compute the indicated matrix when given matrices A = [3 0; -1 4] and D = [0 -3; -5 1], you have to perform matrix addition or subtraction as instructed by the problem. Since no specific operation is given, let's discuss both:

  • For addition, ADD (matrix A plus matrix D): Add corresponding entries of A and D.
  • For subtraction, AD (matrix A minus matrix D): Subtract corresponding entries of D from A.

Example for matrix addition, element by element: ADD = [3+0 -1+(-3); -1+(-5) 4+1] = [3 -4; -6 5]. For subtraction, AD = [3-0 -1-(-3); -1-(-5) 4-1] = [3 2; 4 3].
