Question 1.
What are the necessary conditions for multiplying two matrices?
Show hintHide hint
Think about the dimensions of the matrices.
Question 2.
Is matrix multiplication commutative? Why or why not?
Show hintHide hint
Consider how matrix multiplication groups numbers.
3Question 3.
What is the time complexity of multiplying two matrices of dimensions m×n and n×p?
- O(m × n × p)
- O(m + n + p)
- O(m² + n² + p²)
Show hintHide hint
Think about how many entries you need to compute.
4Question 4.
Is the order of matrix multiplication important for computational efficiency?
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Recall the example with matrices A, B, and C.
Question 5.
You're given five matrices of dimensions (10x20), (20x30), (30x10), (10x40), (40x30). Calculate the minimum order needed for multiplication and the corresponding total cost.
Show hintHide hint
Consider constructing a cost table for comparing all multiplication paths.
Question 6.
How would you modify your strategy if one matrix's size dramatically increases, affecting the computational cost? Evaluate the new strategy.
Show hintHide hint
Look at how early multiplications affect downstream costs.
