### Matrix-Vector Multiplication: An Educational Guide

In this guide, we explore the process of matrix-vector multiplication. Specifically, we will compute the product using two methods and explain the conditions under which the product might be undefined.

#### Context and Methods
Given a matrix \( A \) and a vector \( x \), we aim to compute \( Ax \).

1. **Definition of \( Ax \)**: This is the linear combination of the columns of \( A \) using the corresponding entries in \( x \) as weights.
2. **Row-Vector Rule**: This involves computing the dot product of each row of \( A \) with the vector \( x \).

#### Provided Matrix and Vector
We will work with the following matrix \( A \) and vector \( x \):

\[ A = \begin{pmatrix} 6 & 3 \\ -3 & -4 \\ 5 & 4 \end{pmatrix} \quad \text{and} \quad x = \begin{pmatrix} 4 \\ -2 \end{pmatrix} \]

#### Step-by-Step Instructions

**a. Set up the linear combination of the columns of \( A \) using the corresponding entries in \( x \) as weights.**

Select the correct answer choice and fill in the answer boxes.

1. 
    - \( x_1 a_1 + x_2 a_2 + \cdots + x_n a_n = (x_1) a_1 + (x_2) a_2 + (x_3) a_3 = \)  
    - Select the correct and complete the expression.
    - **Options:**
        - **A.** \( \begin{pmatrix} 4 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -2 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} \boxed{} \end{pmatrix} \)
        - **B.** \( \begin{pmatrix} 4 \end{pmatrix} + \begin{pmatrix} -2 \end{pmatrix} \)
        - **C.** The matrix-vector \( Ax \) is not defined because the number of columns in matrix \( A \) does not match the number of entries in the vector \( x \).
        - **D.** The matrix-vector \( Ax \) is not defined because the number of rows in
