Identify the property on this equation 5(a + 3b) = 5a + 15b

Distributive Property

The term "distribution" is also used in place of "distributive"

This property says

x*(y+z) = x*y + x*z

We multiply the outer term x with each inner term (y and z). Then we add the results.

In this case,

x = 5

y = a

z = 3b

So,

5(a+3b) = 5*a + 5*3b = 5a+15b

solution:

→c= a b , that is product of a and b is possible only when when a is m × n matrix and b is n × p matrix.

that is, number of columns of a= number of rows of b.

so, size of matrix , c= a b is , if a = (m × n)matrix

b= (n × p)matrix

then a b = [ (m × n)matrix] ×[   (n × p)matrix ]

→→c= a b= [m × p ] matrix

→→size of product a b will be equal to = number of rows of a × number of columns of b
