B. [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}-34 \\ 7\end{array}\right][/tex]

C. [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}28 \\ -17\end{array}\right][/tex]

D. [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}-46 \\ 7\end{array}\right][/tex]

E. [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}-34 \\ 32\end{array}\right][/tex]



Answer :

To multiply the matrix [tex]\( \left[\begin{array}{cc} 6 & -1 \\ -4 & 3 \end{array}\right] \)[/tex] by the vector [tex]\( \left[\begin{array}{c} -5 \\ 4 \end{array}\right] \)[/tex]:

1. Multiply the first row of the matrix by the vector:
[tex]\[ 6 \times (-5) + (-1) \times 4 = -30 - 4 = -34 \][/tex]

2. Multiply the second row of the matrix by the vector:
[tex]\[ -4 \times (-5) + 3 \times 4 = 20 + 12 = 32 \][/tex]

Thus, the resulting vector is:
[tex]\[ \left[\begin{array}{c} -34 \\ 32 \end{array}\right] \][/tex]

Among the given choices, the correct answer is:
E. [tex]\(\left[\begin{array}{c} -34 \\ 32 \end{array}\right]\)[/tex]
