Answer

$$ \begin{bmatrix} 7\\ 8 \end{bmatrix} $$

Work Step by Step

To compute this product $$ \begin{bmatrix} 8 & 3 & -4 \\ 5 & 1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1\\1\\1 \end{bmatrix} $$ We can use the definition of matrix-vector multiplication. Since all the entries of the vector are $1$, we get the following product: $$ \begin{bmatrix} 8+3-4\\ 5+1+2 \end{bmatrix} $$ Which simplifies to $$ \begin{bmatrix} 7\\ 8 \end{bmatrix} $$
