Accepted Answer

### Question 1: Dimensions of Matrix B
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall matrix dimension rules
The dimension of a matrix is given by the number of rows $ m $ followed by the number of columns $ n $, written as $ m \times n $.
## Step2: Count rows and columns of B
Matrix $ B=\begin{bmatrix}14&3&15&-3\-2&7&20&1\end{bmatrix} $. It has 2 rows and 4 columns.
# Answer: $ 2 \times 4 $

### Question 2: Dimensions of Matrix C
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall matrix dimension rules
Dimension is $ m \times n $ (rows $ \times $ columns).
## Step2: Count rows and columns of C
Matrix $ C=\begin{bmatrix}0&-7\-3&5\end{bmatrix} $. It has 2 rows and 2 columns.
# Answer: $ 2 \times 2 $

### Question 3: Element in $ e_{1,2} $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify matrix E
Matrix $ E=\begin{bmatrix}-3.2&1\-4&9\-1&-7\end{bmatrix} $.
## Step2: Locate $ e_{1,2} $
$ e_{1,2} $ means the element in row 1, column 2 of matrix $ E $. Looking at row 1, column 2: $ 1 $.
# Answer: $ 1 $

### Question 4: Element in $ a_{3,2} $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Identify matrix A
Matrix $ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $.
## Step2: Locate $ a_{3,2} $
$ a_{3,2} $ is row 3, column 2 of matrix $ A $. Row 3, column 2: $ 2 $.
# Answer: $ 2 $

### Question 5: Evaluate $ A + E $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions
Matrix $ A $ is $ 3 \times 2 $, matrix $ E $ is $ 3 \times 2 $, so addition is possible (same dimensions).
## Step2: Add corresponding elements
$ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $, $ E=\begin{bmatrix}-3.2&1\-4&9\-1&-7\end{bmatrix} $
$ A + E=\begin{bmatrix}6+(-3.2)&-1 + 1\3+(-4)&10 + 9\1+(-1)&2+(-7)\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}2.8&0\-1&19\0&-5\end{bmatrix} $
# Answer: $ \begin{bmatrix}2.8&0\-1&19\0&-5\end{bmatrix} $

### Question 6: Evaluate $ F + C $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions
Matrix $ F=\begin{bmatrix}-15&22\4&0\end{bmatrix} $ ( $ 2 \times 2 $ ), matrix $ C=\begin{bmatrix}0&-7\-3&5\end{bmatrix} $ ( $ 2 \times 2 $ ). Same dimensions, so addition is possible.
## Step2: Add corresponding elements
$ F + C=\begin{bmatrix}-15+0&22+(-7)\4+(-3)&0 + 5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-15&15\1&5\end{bmatrix} $
# Answer: $ \begin{bmatrix}-15&15\1&5\end{bmatrix} $

### Question 7: Evaluate $ D - B $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions
Matrix $ D=\begin{bmatrix}13&1&0&-2\-4&3&3&5.5\end{bmatrix} $ ( $ 2 \times 4 $ ), matrix $ B=\begin{bmatrix}14&3&15&-3\-2&7&20&1\end{bmatrix} $ ( $ 2 \times 4 $ ). Same dimensions, subtraction is possible.
## Step2: Subtract corresponding elements
$ D - B=\begin{bmatrix}13 - 14&1 - 3&0 - 15&-2-(-3)\-4-(-2)&3 - 7&3 - 20&5.5 - 1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-1&-2&-15&1\-2&-4&-17&4.5\end{bmatrix} $
# Answer: $ \begin{bmatrix}-1&-2&-15&1\-2&-4&-17&4.5\end{bmatrix} $

### Question 8: Evaluate $ A - F $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions
Matrix $ A $ is $ 3 \times 2 $, matrix $ F $ is $ 2 \times 2 $. Dimensions do not match (rows: 3 vs 2), so subtraction is not possible? Wait, no—wait, matrix $ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $ (3x2), $ F=\begin{bmatrix}-15&22\4&0\end{bmatrix} $ (2x2). Wait, no, the problem must have a typo? Wait, no—wait, maybe I misread. Wait, matrix $ A $ is 3x2, $ F $ is 2x2. Wait, no, the original matrix $ A $: $ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $ (3 rows, 2 columns), $ F=\begin{bmatrix}-15&22\4&0\end{bmatrix} $ (2 rows, 2 columns). So they have different number of rows (3 vs 2), so $ A - F $ is undefined? Wait, but maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the problem says "Evaluate $ A - F $". Wait, no—wait, matrix $ A $ is 3x2, $ F $ is 2x2. So subtraction is not possible. But maybe the problem has a typo, or I misread the matrices. Wait, let's recheck:

Matrix $ A $: $ \begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $ (3x2)

Matrix $ F $: $ \begin{bmatrix}-15&22\4&0\end{bmatrix} $ (2x2)

So rows: 3 vs 2. So $ A - F $ is undefined. But maybe the problem intended $ A $ and $ F $ to have same dimensions? Wait, maybe I misread matrix $ A $. Wait, no, the original matrix $ A $ is:

$ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $ (3 rows, 2 columns)

$ F=\begin{bmatrix}-15&22\4&0\end{bmatrix} $ (2 rows, 2 columns)

So they can't be subtracted. But perhaps the problem has a mistake. Alternatively, maybe I misread matrix $ A $ as 3x2, but maybe it's 2x2? Wait, no, the first matrix $ A $ is:

$ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $ – three rows, two columns.

$ F $ is two rows, two columns. So subtraction is not possible. But since the problem asks to evaluate, maybe there's a mistake. Alternatively, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, perhaps the user intended matrix $ A $ to be 2x2? Let's check again. Wait, the original $ A $:

$ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $ – yes, three rows. So $ A - F $ is undefined. But maybe the problem has a typo. Alternatively, maybe I misread $ F $. $ F=\begin{bmatrix}-15&22\4&0\end{bmatrix} $ – two rows. So unless the problem has a mistake, this is undefined. But since the problem is given, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, perhaps the question is $ A - F $ where $ A $ is 2x2? Wait, no, the first matrix $ A $ is 3x2. So perhaps the problem has an error. But assuming that maybe it's a typo and $ A $ is 2x2 (maybe the third row is a mistake), let's proceed with $ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\end{bmatrix} $ (2x2). Then:

$ A - F=\begin{bmatrix}6-(-15)&-1 - 22\3 - 4&10 - 0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}21&-23\-1&10\end{bmatrix} $

But since the original $ A $ has three rows, this is conflicting. Alternatively, maybe the problem is correct, and I have to state it's undefined. But since the problem is from a worksheet, maybe it's a typo. For the sake of answering, assuming $ A $ is 2x2 (removing the third row: $ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\end{bmatrix} $):

# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions (corrected A)
Matrix $ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\end{bmatrix} $ (2x2), $ F=\begin{bmatrix}-15&22\4&0\end{bmatrix} $ (2x2). Same dimensions, subtraction possible.
## Step2: Subtract corresponding elements
$ A - F=\begin{bmatrix}6-(-15)&-1 - 22\3 - 4&10 - 0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}21&-23\-1&10\end{bmatrix} $
# Answer: $ \begin{bmatrix}21&-23\-1&10\end{bmatrix} $ (assuming $ A $ is 2x2, else undefined)

### Question 9: Evaluate $ B - D $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions
Matrix $ B $ (2x4) and $ D $ (2x4). Same dimensions, subtraction possible.
## Step2: Subtract corresponding elements
$ B - D=\begin{bmatrix}14 - 13&3 - 1&15 - 0&-3-(-2)\-2-(-4)&7 - 3&20 - 3&1 - 5.5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&2&15&-1\2&4&17&-4.5\end{bmatrix} $
# Answer: $ \begin{bmatrix}1&2&15&-1\2&4&17&-4.5\end{bmatrix} $

### Question 10: Evaluate $ 2C $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Recall scalar multiplication
Scalar multiplication: multiply each element by the scalar (2).
## Step2: Multiply each element of C
Matrix $ C=\begin{bmatrix}0&-7\-3&5\end{bmatrix} $. $ 2C=\begin{bmatrix}2\times0&2\times(-7)\2\times(-3)&2\times5\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0&-14\-6&10\end{bmatrix} $
# Answer: $ \begin{bmatrix}0&-14\-6&10\end{bmatrix} $

### Question 11: Evaluate $ -3F - D $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions
First, find $ -3F $. Matrix $ F $ is 2x2, $ D $ is 2x4. Dimensions of $ -3F $ (2x2) and $ D $ (2x4) do not match. So subtraction is not possible. But assuming there's a typo (maybe $ F $ is 2x4), but original $ F $ is 2x2. So this is undefined. Alternatively, maybe the problem has an error. But if we assume $ F $ is 2x4 (which it's not), we can't proceed. So this is undefined. But since the problem asks, maybe there's a mistake.

### Question 12: Evaluate $ 4E + A $
# Explanation:
## Step1: Check dimensions
Matrix $ E $ is 3x2, $ A $ is 3x2. So addition is possible after scalar multiplication.
## Step2: Compute $ 4E $
$ 4E = 4\begin{bmatrix}-3.2&1\-4&9\-1&-7\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}4\times(-3.2)&4\times1\4\times(-4)&4\times9\4\times(-1)&4\times(-7)\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-12.8&4\-16&36\-4&-28\end{bmatrix} $
## Step3: Add $ 4E $ and $ A $
$ A=\begin{bmatrix}6&-1\3&10\1&2\end{bmatrix} $
$ 4E + A=\begin{bmatrix}-12.8 + 6&4+(-1)\-16 + 3&36 + 10\-4 + 1&-28 + 2\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-6.8&3\-13&46\-3&-26\end{bmatrix} $
# Answer: $ \begin{bmatrix}-6.8&3\-13&46\-3&-26\end{bmatrix} $
