Question

Given matrices X=[-1,0] and Y= [-2, -1] which of the following matrices is XY?

A. [-4]
B. [-3]
C. [-2]
D. [2]
E. [3]

Answer 1

The product of matrices X and Y is the matrix [2, 0].

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the product of matrices X and Y, we multiply the corresponding elements of the matrices. Matrix XY is obtained by multiplying the first element of X with the first element of Y, and the second element of X with the second element of Y. So, the product XY is the matrix [-1 * -2, 0 * -1] = [2, 0].
