Answer

Step 5: The product AB is then the matrix formed by these four elements: [31363338].

Steps

Step 1 :Step 1: Let's compute the element at the first row and the first column of AB. The element is the dot product of the first row of A and the first column of B, which is 25+37=10+21=31.

Step 2 :Step 2: Compute the element at the first row and the second column of AB. The element is the dot product of the first row of A and the second column of B, which is 26+38=12+24=36.

Step 3 :Step 3: Compute the element at the second row and the first column of AB. The element is the dot product of the second row of A and the first column of B, which is 15+47=5+28=33.

Step 4 :Step 4: Compute the element at the second row and the second column of AB. The element is the dot product of the second row of A and the second column of B, which is 16+48=6+32=38.

Step 5 :Step 5: The product AB is then the matrix formed by these four elements: [31363338].
