Question
**Given the Matrices:**

Matrix \( A \):
\[
A = \begin{bmatrix} -3 & -3 & 2 \\ -1 & -1 & -4 \end{bmatrix}
\]

Matrix \( B \):
\[
B = \begin{bmatrix} 0 \\ -1 \\ -3 \end{bmatrix}
\]

**Question A:**  
It is **not possible** to multiply these matrices in this order.

**Question B:**  
If multiplication is possible, what is \( AB \)?

*Explanation:*

- **Matrix \( A \)** is a \( 2 \times 3 \) matrix (2 rows, 3 columns).
- **Matrix \( B \)** is a \( 3 \times 1 \) matrix (3 rows, 1 column).

To multiply two matrices, the number of columns in the first matrix must match the number of rows in the second matrix. In this case, multiplication is possible because matrix \( A \) has 3 columns and matrix \( B \) has 3 rows. 

The resulting product \( AB \) will be a \( 2 \times 1 \) matrix.
