A=[2−43−201]A=\begin{bmatrix}2 & -4\\3 & -2\\0 & 1\end{bmatrix} (3x2), B=[1−12−210]B=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -1 & 2\\-2 & 1 & 0\end{bmatrix} (2x3). AB is 3x3.

Row1[2,-4]⋅\cdotB: [2(1)+(−4)(−2), 2(−1)+(−4)(1), 2(2)+(−4)(0)]=[10,−6,4][2(1)+(-4)(-2),\ 2(-1)+(-4)(1),\ 2(2)+(-4)(0)]=[10,-6,4].

Row2[3,-2]⋅\cdotB: [3(1)+(−2)(−2), 3(−1)+(−2)(1), 3(2)+(−2)(0)]=[7,−5,6][3(1)+(-2)(-2),\ 3(-1)+(-2)(1),\ 3(2)+(-2)(0)]=[7,-5,6].

Row3[0,1]⋅\cdotB: [0(1)+1(−2), 0(−1)+1(1), 0(2)+1(0)]=[−2,1,0][0(1)+1(-2),\ 0(-1)+1(1),\ 0(2)+1(0)]=[-2,1,0].

AB=[10−647−56−210]AB=\begin{bmatrix}10 & -6 & 4\\7 & -5 & 6\\-2 & 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}, so (AB)T=[107−2−6−51460](AB)^T=\begin{bmatrix}10 & 7 & -2\\-6 & -5 & 1\\4 & 6 & 0\end{bmatrix}.

BT=[1−2−1120]B^T=\begin{bmatrix}1 & -2\\-1 & 1\\2 & 0\end{bmatrix} (3x2), AT=[230−4−21]A^T=\begin{bmatrix}2 & 3 & 0\\-4 & -2 & 1\end{bmatrix} (2x3). BTATB^TA^T (3x3):

Row1[1,-2]⋅\cdotA^T: [1(2)+(−2)(−4), 1(3)+(−2)(−2), 1(0)+(−2)(1)]=[10,7,−2][1(2)+(-2)(-4),\ 1(3)+(-2)(-2),\ 1(0)+(-2)(1)]=[10,7,-2]. …
