Question:medium

The value of \( \begin{pmatrix} 7 & 1 & 5 \\ 8 & 0 & 0 \end{pmatrix} \begin{pmatrix} 2 \\ 3 \\ 1 \end{pmatrix} + 5 \begin{pmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \end{pmatrix} \) is equal to:

Show Hint

Always double-check the final vector addition after a long multiplication. Zeros in the first matrix (like the second row here) act as a "filter," allowing you to skip parts of the multiplication for that specific row.
