Final answer:

To find the product of two matrices, AB, multiply corresponding elements of the first row of matrix A with the corresponding elements of each column of matrix B and sum up the products. Repeat for all rows of matrix A.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given problem involves matrix multiplication. To find the product of two matrices, AB, we need to perform the following steps:

  1. Multiply the corresponding elements of the first row of matrix A with the corresponding elements of each column of matrix B.
  2. Sum up the products obtained in step 1 to get the first element of the resulting matrix.
  3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all the rows of matrix A to obtain the complete product matrix AB.

Applying these steps to the given problem, we have:

AB = [[-4 * 3 + -6 * 2, -4 * -4 + -6 * -1], [4 * 3 + 3 * 2, 4 * -4 + 3 * -1]]

Simplifying the expression further:

AB = [[-12 - 12, 16 + 6], [12 + 6, -16 - 3]]

AB = [[-24, 22], [18, -19]]
