1. $A+B=\left[\begin{array}{c}2\\ 1\\ 1\end{array}\begin{array}{c}6\\ \text{ }\text{ }\text{ }0\\ -3\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{c}3\\ 1\\ -4\end{array}\begin{array}{c}-2\\ 5\\ 3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}2+3\\ 1+1\\ 1+\left(-4\right)\end{array}\begin{array}{c}6+\left(-2\right)\\ 0+5\\ -3+3\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{c}5\\ 2\\ -3\end{array}\begin{array}{c}4\\ 5\\ 0\end{array}\right]$

2. $-2B=\left[\begin{array}{cc}-8& -2\\ -6& -4\end{array}\right]$

Solutions to Odd-Numbered Exercises

1. No, they must have the same dimensions. An example would include two matrices of different dimensions. One cannot add the following two matrices because the first is a $2\times 2$ matrix and the second is a $2\times 3$ matrix. $\left[\begin{array}{cc}1& 2\\ 3& 4\end{array}\right]+\left[\begin{array}{ccc}6& 5& 4\\ 3& 2& 1\end{array}\right]$ has no sum.

3. Yes, if the dimensions of $A$ are $m\times n$ and the dimensions of $B$ are $n\times m,\text{}$ both products will be defined.

5. Not necessarily. To find $AB,\text{}$ we multiply the first row of $A$ by the first column of $B$ to get the first entry of $AB$. To find $BA,\text{}$ we multiply the first row of $B$ by the first column of $A$ to get the first entry of $BA$. Thus, if those are unequal, then the matrix multiplication does not commute.
