Matrix multiplication is not commutative. Why?

For matrix multiplication to work, the columns of the second matrix have to have the same number of entries as do the rows of the first matrix. ... In particular, matrix multiplication is not "commutative"; you cannot switch the order of the factors and expect to end up with the same result.

a

step-by-step explanation:

when a number is between two straight lines it means the absolute value.

to find absolute value you need to know how many numbers is that number away from 0.

when finding absolute value the number will always come out positive

so absolute value of -3 is 3

absolute value of 3/2 is 3/2

absolute value of -2 is 2

absolute value of 3.5 is 3.5

absolute value of -1 is 1

now put these numbers in order:

a)   |-1|, |3/2|, |-2|, |-3|, |3.5|

the answer is y = 11.54

hope this : )
