Tutorial 1

Question 1
Below are 5 questions that require the student to determine the label for x by using knowledge of
matrix multiplication. In each question, the matrices have been multiplied in a certain order to
obtain x however, in some cases, not all the matrices are used:
a)
For this question, there are only two possible solutions:
AB
BA
Using your knowledge of multiplication, prove that x is equal to AB or BA . For the
questions to follow, there will be more possible combinations (not as simple as question a )
