Question 1

What is the main goal of dynamic programming in matrix multiplication?

  • To simplify the matrix dimensions
  • To find the optimal order that minimizes the cost
  • To make multiplication associative

💡 Hint: Consider why we care about the order when multiplying multiple matrices.

Question 2

True or False: Matrix multiplication is associative but not commutative.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how changing the order affects the product.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given five matrices M1 (10x20), M2 (20x30), M3 (30x10), M4 (10x5), and M5 (5x40), determine the optimal order for multiplication to minimize computation, detailing your approach.

💡 Hint: Build a cost table using dimensions to track minimal multiplication costs.

Question 2

Explain how different orders (left-to-right vs right-to-left) in matrix multiplication impact computational cost, using Fibonacci or large matrices as examples.

💡 Hint: Consider the size of intermediate products when choosing multiply orders.
