If P = \(\begin{pmatrix} 5 & 3 \\ 2 & 1 \end{pmatrix}\) and Q = \(\begin{pmatrix} 4 & 2 \\ 3 & 5 \end{pmatrix}\), find 2P + Q

  • A. \(\begin{vmatrix} 7 & 7 \\ 14 & 8 \end{vmatrix}\)
  • B. \(\begin{vmatrix} 14 & 8 \\ 7 & 7 \end{vmatrix}\)
  • C. \(\begin{vmatrix} 7 & 7 \\ 8 & 14 \end{vmatrix}\)
  • D. \(\begin{vmatrix} 8 & 14 \\ 7 & 7 \end{vmatrix}\)

Correct Answer: B. \(\begin{vmatrix} 14 & 8 \\ 7 & 7 \end{vmatrix}\)
