Which matrix multiplication is possible?

Answer:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\-1\end{array}\right] \times\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&4\end{array}\right][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To be able to multiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix must be the same as the number of rows in the second matrix.
(1)
first matrix: 2 columns
second matrix: 1 row
NOT
(2)
first matrix: 1 column
second matrix: 2 rows
NOT
(3)
first matrix: 2 columns
second matrix: 1 row
NOT
(4)
first matrix: 1 column
second matrix: 1 row
YES
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1\\-1\end{array}\right] \times\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&4\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}(1)(0)&(1)(4)\\(-1)(0)&(-1)(4)\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc}0&4\\0&-4\end{array}\right][/tex]
We want to see which of the given multiplications are possible, we will see that the correct options are the second and last ones (counting from the top)
We define a matrix as an M×N construction, so the matrix has M rows and N columns.
Two matrices can only be multiplied if the second matrix has the same number of rows than the first one of columns.
So if:
A is a matrix M×N
B is a matrix M×K
We can't multiply A*B, because B does not have the same number of rows as A has of columns. if instead, B was N×K, the multiplication would be possible.
So now that we know that is easy to see which multiplications are allowed.
The 2nd one we have:
1×2 times 2×2
So this is allowed.
The final one:
1×2 times 2×1
So this is allowed.
Then the correct options are the second and fourth ones, counting from the top.
