Question
Find AB, if A = $\left[\begin{array}{cc} {0} & {-1} \\ {0} & {2} \end{array}\right] \text { and } B=\left[\begin{array}{ll} {3} & {5} \\ {0} & {0} \end{array}\right]$

Answer

We have $A B=\left[\begin{array}{rr} {0} & {-1} \\ {0} & {2} \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll} {3} & {5} \\ {0} & {0} \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll} {0} & {0} \\ {0} & {0} \end{array}\right]$
Thus, if the product of two matrices is a zero matrix, it is not necessary that one of the matrices is a zero matrix.
