Answer:

The answer to your question is the letter a

Explanation:

| 1 4 -1 | | 2 -1 |

| 3 2 2 | | 0 3 | Product = 2 x 3 and 3 x 2 = 2 x 2

| 5 2 | It is possible to do this product,

the result will be a 2 x 2 matrix

Process

1.- Multiply first row by first column and second row by second column.

2.- Multiply the second row by the first column and second row by the second column.

= (1 x 2) + (4 x 0) + (-1 x 5) = 2 + 0 - 5 = -3

= (1 x -1) + (4 x 3) + (-1 x 2) = -1 + 12 - 2 = 9

= (3 x 2) + (2 x 0) + (2 x 5) = 6 + 0 + 10 = 16

= (3 x -1) + (2 x 3) + (2 x 2) = -3 + 6 + 4 = 7

Result

| 3 9 |

| 16 7 |
