Use the matrices below to answer the following questions: \begin{equation*}A = \left[\begin{matrix}-3 & 0\\-12 & 5\\14 & 3\end{matrix}\right] B = \left[\begin{matrix}-4 & -13 & -4\\3 & -12 & -15\end{matrix}\right] C = \left[\begin{matrix}15 & 7\end{matrix}\right] D = \left[\begin{matrix}7 & 8 & -7\\5 & 5 & 2\\-2 & -2 & -1\end{matrix}\right] E = \left[\begin{matrix}15 & -12\\3 & -18\\17 & 6\end{matrix}\right] \end{equation*}

  1. Find \(\displaystyle A + E\) and \(\displaystyle C + D\)
  2. Find \(\displaystyle BC\) and \(\displaystyle CB\)
  3. Find the inverse of Matrix D, that is \(\displaystyle D^{-1}\)


  1. \(\displaystyle \left[\begin{matrix}-3 & 0\\-12 & 5\\14 & 3\end{matrix}\right]+\left[\begin{matrix}15 & -12\\3 & -18\\17 & 6\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}12 & -12\\-9 & -13\\31 & 9\end{matrix}\right]\) The sum is undefined. The matricies do not have the same shape.
  2. The product is undefined. \(\displaystyle \left[\begin{matrix}15 & 7\end{matrix}\right]\left[\begin{matrix}-4 & -13 & -4\\3 & -12 & -15\end{matrix}\right]=\left[\begin{matrix}-39 & -279 & -165\end{matrix}\right]\)
  3. \(\displaystyle \left[\begin{matrix}-1 & 22 & 51\\1 & -21 & -49\\0 & -2 & -5\end{matrix}\right]\)
