1 5
\n" ); document.write( "2 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "this is a 2 by 2 matrix, that is 2 rows by 2 columns
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "(1/2) * R2 = (1, 3)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "this is a 1 by 2 matrix, that is, 1 row by 2 columns
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "it is not possible to multiply these two matrices
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "for this to work (1,3) would have to be 2 rows by 1 column
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "if I assume this is what you mean, then
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1 5
\n" ); document.write( "2 6
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "multiplied by (1,3) is (1+15, 2+18) = (16, 20)
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "then your matrix becomes
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "1 5
\n" ); document.write( "16 20
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
