Answer

[6431][13]\begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 & 4 \ 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -1 \ 3 \end{bmatrix}

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

[6431][13]=[6×(1)+4×33×(1)+(1)×3]=[6+123+(3)]=[66].\Rightarrow \begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 & 4 \ 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -1 \ 3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 \times (-1) + 4 \times 3 \ 3 \times (-1) + (-1) \times 3 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] -6 + 12 \ -3 + (-3) \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 \ -6 \end{bmatrix}.

Hence, [6431][13]=[66].\begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 & 4 \ 3 & -1 \end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}[r] -1 \ 3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 6 \ -6 \end{bmatrix}.
