Question
Let $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-1&3\end{bmatrix},\ \text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}4&0\\1&5\end{bmatrix},$ $\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\1&-2\end{bmatrix},$ a = 4, b = -2, then show that $\text{A}(\text{BC})=(\text{AB})\text{C}.$

Answer

We have, $\text{A}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-1&3\end{bmatrix},\ \text{B}=\begin{bmatrix}4&0\\1&5\end{bmatrix},$ $\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\1&-2\end{bmatrix},$ and a = 4, b = -2

$(\text{BC})=\begin{bmatrix}4&0\\1&5\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\1&-2\end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix}8&0\\7&-10\end{bmatrix}$

and $\text{A}(\text{BC})=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-1&3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}8&0\\7&-10\end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix}8+14&0-20\\-8+21&0-30\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}22&-20\\13&-30\end{bmatrix}$

Also, $(\text{AB})=\begin{bmatrix}1&2\\-1&3\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}4&0\\1&5\end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix}6&10\\-1&15\end{bmatrix}$

$(\text{AB})\text{C}=\begin{bmatrix}6&10\\-1&15\end{bmatrix}\begin{bmatrix}2&0\\1&-2\end{bmatrix}$

$=\begin{bmatrix}22&-20\\13&-30\end{bmatrix}=\text{A}(\text{BC})$

Hence proved.
