If Aequals[Start 2 By 2 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column 1 2nd Column negative 4 2nd Row 1st Column negative 4 2nd Column 5 EndMatrix ] and ABequals[Start 2 By 3 Matrix 1st Row 1st Column negative 10 2nd Column 1 3rd Column 9 2nd Row 1st Column 7 2nd Column negative 15 3rd Column 8 EndMatrix ], determine the first and second columns of B. Let Bold b 1 be column 1 of B and Bold b 2 be colum

Step-by-step explanation:

Given matrix A and AB below:

For the product AB to be a 2 X 3 matrix, B must be a 2 X 3 matrix.

Let matrix B be defined as follows

Therefore:

This results in the equations

Solving the first two equations simultaneously

a-4b=-10  (a=-10+4b)

-4a+5b=7

Substitution of into the second equation

Recall that  

Solving the other two equations

c-4d=1 (c=1+4d)

-4c+5d=-15

Substitution of c=1+4d into the second equation

Therefore, we have:

Thus:

-81 -56 -27 0 81
