In each case below, give an example of a matrix that meets the specified condition.(a) A and B so that AB is not defined (b) a 2 × 2 matrix that has no inverse(c) C and D so that CD is defined but DC is not defined

What will be an ideal response?


Answers will vary.
(a) Possible solutions: any two matrices such that the number of columns in A is not the same as the number of rows in B. 
One possible example is A =  and B = .
(b) Possible solution: any 2 × 2 matrix such that ? = 0, or having a row of zeros.
Possible examples:   or .
(c) Possible solutions: any two matrices such that the number of columns in C is the same as the number of rows in D, but the number of rows in C is not equal to the number of columns in D.
One possible example is C =  and D = .
