Answer

a) $A+B=\left[ \begin{matrix} 10 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ b) $A-B=\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & 4 & -6 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ c) $\left( -4 \right)A=\left[ \begin{matrix} -24 & -8 & 12 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$ d) $3A+2B=\left[ \begin{matrix} 26 & 2 & -3 \\ \end{matrix} \right]$

Work Step by Step

(a) Perform the addition of the matrices $A$ and $B$ as below: $\begin{align} & A+B=\left[ \begin{matrix} 6 & 2 & -3 \\ \end{matrix} \right]+\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 & -2 & 3 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} 10 & 0 & 0 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \end{align}$ (b) Perform the addition of the matrices $A$ and $B$ as below: $\begin{align} & A-B=\left[ \begin{matrix} 6 & 2 & -3 \\ \end{matrix} \right]-\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 & -2 & 3 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} 2 & 4 & -6 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \end{align}$ (c) Perform the addition of the matrices $A$ and $B$ as below: $\begin{align} & \left( -4 \right)A=\left( -4 \right)\left[ \begin{matrix} 6 & 2 & -3 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} -24 & -8 & 12 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \end{align}$ (d) Perform the addition of the matrices $A$ and $B$ as below: $\begin{align} & 3A+2B=3\left[ \begin{matrix} 6 & 2 & -3 \\ \end{matrix} \right]+2\left[ \begin{matrix} 4 & -2 & 3 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} 18 & 6 & -9 \\ \end{matrix} \right]+\left[ \begin{matrix} 8 & -4 & 6 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \\ & =\left[ \begin{matrix} 26 & 2 & -3 \\ \end{matrix} \right] \end{align}$
