Question Number 7 by user1 last updated on 25/Jan/15

If   A= [(2,1,3),(4,1,0) ]and  B= [(1,(−1)),(0,2),(5,0) ],  verify that  (AB)′=B′A′

$$\mathrm{If}\:\:\:{A}=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathrm{2}}&{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{3}}\\{\mathrm{4}}&{\mathrm{1}}&{\mathrm{0}}\end{bmatrix}{and}\:\:{B}=\begin{bmatrix}{\mathrm{1}}&{−\mathrm{1}}\\{\mathrm{0}}&{\mathrm{2}}\\{\mathrm{5}}&{\mathrm{0}}\end{bmatrix}, \\ $$$$\mathrm{verify}\:\mathrm{that}\:\:\left(\mathrm{A}{B}\right)'={B}'{A}' \\ $$

We have   AB= [(2,1,3),(4,1,0) ]∙ [(1,(−1)),(0,(    2)),(5,(    0)) ]  = [((2∙1+1∙0+3∙5),(2∙(−1)+1∙2+3∙0)),((4∙1+1∙0+0∙5),(4∙(−1)+1∙2+0∙0)) ]  = [((17),(    0)),((   4),(−2)) ]  ∴(AB)′= [((17),(    0)),((  4),(−2)) ]^′ = [((17),(    4)),((   0),(−2)) ]  B′A′= [(1,(−1)),(0,(     2)),(5,(     0)) ]^′ ∙ [(2,1,3),(4,1,0) ]^′   = [((     1),0,5),((−1),2,0) ] [(2,4),(1,1),(3,0) ]  = [((          1∙2+0∙1+5∙3),(          1∙4+0∙1+5∙0)),(((−1)∙2+2∙1+0∙3),((−1)∙4+2∙1+0∙0)) ]  = [((17),(    4)),((   0),(−2)) ]  Hence,  (AB)′=B′A′
