(i) A+BA+B

Adding corresponding elements:

A+B=(3+(−2)−1+42+15+(−3))=(1332)A+B = \begin{pmatrix} 3+(-2) & -1+4 \\ 2+1 & 5+(-3) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 \end{pmatrix}

(ii) A−BA-B

Subtracting corresponding elements:

A−B=(3−(−2)−1−42−15−(−3))=(5−518)A-B = \begin{pmatrix} 3-(-2) & -1-4 \\ 2-1 & 5-(-3) \end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix} 5 & -5 \\ 1 & 8 \end{pmatrix} …
