Question 843894: suppose A is a 4 x 2 matrix ,B is an r x s matrix and C is a 2 x 4 matrix. If (AB)transpose C is defined then?
Answer
I get that a 4 x 2 matrix transposed is a 2 x 4 matrix but I am not sure how to define or multiply when B is r x s . Please assist and break down so I can work on A transpose BC,(ABC)transpose

In general, if A is an 
matrix, then the product AB is defined only when B is an 
matrix. The product is an 
matrix. Use the definition to find the possible sizes of ^t)
, 
, and B.
