Let M and N be matrices , #M = [(a, b),(c,d)] and N =[(e, f),(g, h)],# and #v# a vector #v = [(x), (y)].# Show that #M(Nv) = (MN)v#?
This is called an associative law of multiplication.
See the proof below.
Notice that the final expression for vector in (2) is the same as the final expression for vector in (4), just the order of summation is changed.
End of proof.

To show that , we first need to compute each of these expressions.
Starting with :
Now, moving on to :
Comparing the two results, we see that . Hence, the equality holds.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
