Answer

[12][2314]\begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 & -2 \ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -2 & 3 \ -1 & 4 \end{bmatrix}

For matrix multiplication, the no. of columns in first matrix should be equal to no. of rows in the second matrix.

[12][2314]=[1×(2)+(2)×(1)1×3+(2)×4]=[2+23+(8)]=[05].\Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 & -2 \ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -2 & 3 \ -1 & 4 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 \times (-2) + (-2) \times (-1) & 1 \times 3 + (-2) \times 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -2 + 2 & 3 + (-8) \ \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 0 & -5 \ \end{bmatrix}.

Hence, [12][2314]=[05].\begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 & -2 \ \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -2 & 3 \ -1 & 4 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 0 & -5 \ \end{bmatrix}.
