Question 13 • GA-Advanced Algebra: Concepts and Connections CR
In general, matrix multiplication is not commutative, so reversing the order can change the product. For example, let A = [[1, 0], [0, 0]] and B = [[0, 1], [0, 0]]. Then AB = [[0, 1], [0, 0]], while BA = [[0, 0], [0, 0]]. Thus AB does not always equal BA, so the answer is No.
