Show Worked Solution

Matrix product requires: [m × n] × [n × m]

Matrix inverse requires a square matrix: [m × n] × [m × n] = [m × m]

Option A: \(EF\) = [2 × 2] × [2 × 3] → [2 × 3] (not square, eliminate A)

Option B: \(FH\) = [2 × 3] × [3 × 3] → [2 × 3] (not square, eliminate B)

Option C: \(GE\) = [3 × 2] × [2 × 2] → [3 × 2] (not square, eliminate B)

Option D: \(GF\) = [3 × 2] × [2 × 3] → [3 × 3] (correct)

Option E: \(HG\) = [3 × 3] × [3 × 2] → [3 × 2] (not square, eliminate E)
