Matrix Multiplication with NumPy

Python Pandas Numpy: Exercise-25 with Solution

Perform matrix multiplication using NumPy.

Sample Solution:

Python Code:

import numpy as np

# Create two matrices
matrix1 = np.array([[1, 2, 3],
                    [4, 5, 6]])

matrix2 = np.array([[7, 8],
                    [9, -10],
                    [11, 12]])

# Perform matrix multiplication using numpy.dot()
result_matrix = np.dot(matrix1, matrix2)

# Alternatively, you can use the @ operator
# result_matrix = matrix1 @ matrix2

# Display the result
print(result_matrix)

Output:

[[ 58  24]
 [139  54]]

Explanation:

Here's a breakdown of the above code:

• We create two matrices, "matrix1" and "matrix2", where the number of columns in "matrix1" matches the number of rows in "matrix2".
• The np.dot(matrix1, matrix2) function (or the matrix1 @ matrix2 operation) performs matrix multiplication.
• The resulting "result_matrix" is the product of the two matrices.
• The result is printed, showing the matrix multiplication result.
