Does AB Exist? Find Its Order
Given:
\[ A \text{ is of order } m \times n, \quad B \text{ is of order } n \times p \]
Condition for Existence of AB:
Matrix multiplication \(AB\) exists if the number of columns of A equals the number of rows of B.
\[ \text{Since } n = n, \quad AB \text{ exists} \]
Order of AB:
\[ AB \text{ will be of order } m \times p \]
Final Answer:
\[ AB \text{ exists and its order is } m \times p \]
Conclusion:
The product of an m×n matrix and an n×p matrix always exists and results in an m×p matrix.
