Question
Is the product defined of the matrices AB and BA?

- AB and BA are defined.
- AB and BA are not defined.
- AB is not defined, and BA is defined.
- AB is defined, and BA is not defined.
Hint:
Two matrices A and B are said to be compatible if the number of columns in A is equal to the number of rows in B. That means if A is a matrix of order m×n and B is a matrix of order n×p, then we can say that matrices A and B are compatible.
The correct answer is: AB is not defined, and BA is defined.

Two matrices A and B are said to be compatible
If the number of columns in A is equal to the number of rows in B. That means if A is a matrix of order m×n and B is a matrix of order n×p, then we can say that matrices A and B are compatible.
If the number of columns in A is not equal to the number of rows in B. That means if A is a matrix of order m×n and B is a matrix of order n×p, then we can say that matrices A and B are incompatible.
Thus, above matrix AB is not defined, and BA is defined.
