Learning script

Generated from the video's visuals and explanation; not verbatim speech.

Think of M as two columns side by side. The two given products reveal these columns.

The first right-side projection retains the first column and zeros the second, revealing three, two, one.

The second projection retains the second column: one, two, three. Both columns now determine the whole matrix.

Placing the swap matrix on the right exchanges the two columns and preserves row positions, matching the final source result.

Regional terminology labels this operation differently. Explicit row and column directions avoid confusion. The two projection matrices are singular, rather than invertible elementary matrices.

Matrices

When a3×2a 3\times 2 matrix M is right multiplied by a2×2a 2\times 2 matrix, it is the columns of M that change. In this problem, [1 0; 0 0] preserves the first column, [0 0; 0 1] preserves the second column, and [0 1; 1 0] swaps the two columns.

M[1000],M[0001],M[0110]M \begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix},\quad M \begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix},\quad M \begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}
02

Reading the first column from M[1 0; 0 0]

Because right multiplying by [1 0; 0 0] only preserves the first column of M, the first column of the resulting matrix is the first column of M. The problem gives the first column of the result as 3, 2, 1, so the first column of M is (3,2,1).

M[1000]=[302010]⇒M:,1=(3,2,1)TM\begin{bmatrix}1&0\\0&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}3&0\\2&0\\1&0\end{bmatrix}\Rightarrow M_{:,1}=(3,2,1)^T
03

Reading the second column from M[0 0; 0 1]

Right multiplying by [0 0; 0 1] only preserves the second column of M, so the second column of the resulting matrix is the second column of M. The problem gives the second column of the result as 1, 2, 3, so the second column of M is (1,2,3).

M[0001]=[010203]⇒M:,2=(1,2,3)TM\begin{bmatrix}0&0\\0&1\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\0&2\\0&3\end{bmatrix}\Rightarrow M_{:,2}=(1,2,3)^T
04

Reconstructing matrix M

Placing the two determined columns back into their original positions yields the complete M. The first column is (3,2,1) and the second column is (1,2,3), so M=[3 1; 2 2; 1 3].

M=[312213]M=\begin{bmatrix}3&1\\2&2\\1&3\end{bmatrix}
05

The effect of M[0 1; 1 0] is swapping two columns

Right multiplying by [0 1; 1 0] swaps the first and second columns of M. Therefore, if M=[3 1; 2 2; 1 3], then M[0 1; 1 0]=[1 3; 2 2; 3 1].

M[0110]=[132231]M\begin{bmatrix}0&1\\1&0\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}1&3\\2&2\\3&1\end{bmatrix}
06

Right multiplication and regional orientation terms

The actual source calculation is correct: a2×2a2\times 2 right factor combines the two columns of M, while a compatible left factor combines horizontal rows. Regional labels differ; notes specify orientation without attributing a mathematical error to the author.

Covered · From the second condition, the second column of M is determined to be (1,2,3), completing M=[3 1; 2 2; 1 3].

Covered · Calculates M[0 1; 1 0], explains that its effect is to swap the two columns, writes the final answer [1 3; 2 2; 3 1], and summarizes that right multiplication is column operations.

    Why this connection?

    When a3×2a 3\times 2 matrix M is right multiplied by a2×2a 2\times 2 matrix, it is the columns of M that change. In this problem, [1 0; 0 0] preserves the first column, [0 0; 0 1] preserves the second column, and [0 1; 1 0] swaps the two columns.
