Question
If $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&1\end{bmatrix},\ \text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\3&-4\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&0\end{bmatrix},$ verify $(\text{AB})\text{C}=\text{A}(\text{BC}).$

Answer

We have, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&1\end{bmatrix},\ \text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\3&-4\end{bmatrix}$ and $\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\text{AB}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\3&-4\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}2+6&3-8\\-4+3&-6-4\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}8&-5\\-1&-10\end{bmatrix}$
and $(\text{AB})\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}8&-5\\-1&-10\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&0\end{bmatrix}$
$\begin{bmatrix}8+5&0\\-1+10&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}13&0\\9&0\end{bmatrix}\ ....(\text{i})$
Again, $(\text{BC})=\begin{bmatrix}2&3\\3&-4\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\-1&0\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}2-3&0\\3+4&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&0\\7&0\end{bmatrix}$
And $\text{A}(\text{BC})=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-2&1\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}-1&0\\7&0\end{bmatrix}$
$=\begin{bmatrix}-1+14&0\\2+7&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}13&0\\9&0\end{bmatrix}\ ....(\text{ii})$
From (i) and (ii), we get
$\therefore\ (\text{AB})\text{C}=\text{A}(\text{BC})$
