Question:

Compute \(\begin{bmatrix}1&0 \\ 0&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&-3 \\ 0&4\end{bmatrix}=\) ?

Show Hint

\(I\) is the multiplicative identity of matrices: \(IA=AI=A\).
  • \(\begin{bmatrix}2&-3
    0&4\end{bmatrix}\)
  • \(\begin{bmatrix}2&0
    0&4\end{bmatrix}\)
  • \(\begin{bmatrix}3&-3
    0&5\end{bmatrix}\)
  • \(\begin{bmatrix}1&0
    0&1\end{bmatrix}\)

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Idea. Multiplying by the identity \(I\) leaves a matrix unchanged, just like multiplying a number by \(1\).
So \(I\cdot A=A\) and the product equals the second matrix itself.
