A 2 4 extract the element in row 2 column 4 ans 8 more generally one or both of the row and column subscripts can be vectors.
													
																	2 x 1 column matrix. 
									
																	For another example if x is an n k 1 matrix and β is a k 1 1 column vector then the matrix multiplication xβ is possible. 
																	Provided that they have the same size each matrix has the same number of rows and the same. 
																	The resulting matrix c ab has 2 rows and 5 columns. 
																	For example the dimension of the matrix below is 2 3 read two by three because there are two rows and three columns. 
															
													
									
																	In general the i j entry of a matrix a is written a ij and the statement. 
																	So if a is an m n matrix then the product a x is defined for n 1 column vectors x. 
																	In mathematics a matrix plural matrices is a rectangular array or table see irregular matrix of numbers symbols or expressions arranged in rows and columns. 
																	We call the number 2 in this case a scalar so this is called scalar multiplication. 
															
													
									
																	The size or dimensions m n of a matrix identifies how many rows and columns a specific matrix has. 
																	Throughout boldface is used for the row and column vectors. 
																	A 2 4 1 2 ans 5 11 9 7 4 14. 
																	For example when you perform the dot product of row 1 of a and column 1 of b the result will be c 1 1 of. 
															
													
									
																	These are the calculations. 
																	The dimension of a matrix must be known to identify a specific element in the matrix. 
																	In linear algebra a column vector or column matrix is an m 1 matrix that is a matrix consisting of a single column of m elements. 
																	A 1 1 b 1 1 a 1 2 b 2 1 a 1 3 b 3 1 c 1 1. 
															
													
									
																	Note that the matrix multiplication ba is not possible. 
																	The resulting matrix xβ has n rows and 1 column. 
																	Multiplying a matrix by another matrix. 
																	That is c is a 2 5 matrix. 
															
													
									
																	Let us define the multiplication between a matrix a and a vector x in which the number of columns in a equals the number of rows in x. 
																	For example since the entry 2 in the matrix above is in row 2 column 1 it is the 2 1 entry. 
																	A matrix this one has 2 rows and 3 columns to multiply a matrix by a single number is easy. 
																	Indicates that a is the m x n matrix whose i j entry is a ij. 
															
													
									
																	The dot product is performed for each row of a and each column of b until all combinations of the two are complete in order to find the value of the corresponding elements in matrix c. 
																	The 1 2 entry is 0 the 2 3 entry is 1 and so forth. 
																	The number of rows is m and the number of columns is n.
