BA =[2112][1221]=[2×1+1×22×2+1×11×1+2×21×2+2×1]=[2+24+11+42+2]=[4554]A(BA) =A×BA=[1221][4554]=[1×4+2×51×5+2×42×4+1×52×5+1×4]=[4+105+88+510+4]=[14131314]\text{BA } = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 2 & 1 \ 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 & 2 \ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 2 \times 1 + 1 \times 2 & 2 \times 2 + 1 \times 1 \ 1 \times 1 + 2 \times 2 & 1 \times 2 + 2 \times 1 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 2 + 2 & 4 + 1 \ 1 + 4 & 2 + 2 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 4 & 5 \ 5 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1.5em] \therefore \text{A(BA) } = \text{A} \times \text{BA} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 & 2 \ 2 & 1 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix}[r] 4 & 5 \ 5 & 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 1 \times 4 + 2 \times 5 & 1 \times 5 + 2 \times 4 \ 2 \times 4 + 1 \times 5 & 2 \times 5 + 1 \times 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 4 + 10 & 5 + 8 \ 8 + 5 & 10 + 4 \end{bmatrix} \\[1em] = \begin{bmatrix}[r] 14 & 13 \ 13 & 14 \end{bmatrix}

Hence, the matrix A(BA) = [14131314].\begin{bmatrix}[r] 14 & 13 \ 13 & 14 \end{bmatrix}.
