Can we multiply any column matrix by any row matrix? Explain why or why not. 3. Can both the products [latex]AB[/latex] and [latex]BA[/latex] be defined? If so, explain how; if not, explain why. 4. Can any two matrices of the same size be multiplied? If so, explain why, and if not, explain why not and give an example of two matrices of the same size that cannot be multiplied together. 5.
