Answer

Therefore, the matrix A+B is given by [a11+b11a12+b12a21+b21a22+b22]=[2651].

Steps

Step 1 :Firstly, we consider the respective entries of the matrices. The matrix A+B is obtained by adding the corresponding entries from the matrices A and B.

Step 2 :The entry in the first row and first column of A+B is obtained by adding the entries in the first row and first column of A and B: a11+b11=3+(1)=2.

Step 3 :The entry in the first row and second column of A+B is obtained by adding the entries in the first row and second column of A and B: a12+b12=4+2=6.

Step 4 :The entry in the second row and first column of A+B is obtained by adding the entries in the second row and first column of A and B: a21+b21=2+3=5.

Step 5 :The entry in the second row and second column of A+B is obtained by adding the entries in the second row and second column of A and B: a22+b22=1+(2)=1.

Step 6 :Therefore, the matrix A+B is given by [a11+b11a12+b12a21+b21a22+b22]=[2651].
