To multiply two matrices,
We first write their order
For multiplication
Since 2 ≠ 3
We cannot multiply them
But, if we multiply BA
Then,
So, order of matrix after multiplication is
= 3 × 2
Let’s learn how to multiply them
So,
AB was not possible, but BA was possible
Thus, AB ≠ BA
Let’s do some more examples
So, multiplication is not possible
