Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Given matrix $A = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$.
  2. Find the transpose of A, denoted as $A'$. $A' = \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix}$.
  3. Multiply A by A': $AA' = \begin{bmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \end{bmatrix} \begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 2 \\ 3 \end{bmatrix} = (1 \times 1) + (2 \times 2) + (3 \times 3) = 1 + 4 + 9 = 14$.
  4. Represent the result as a 1x1 matrix: $\begin{bmatrix} 14 \end{bmatrix}$.

Correct Answer: $\begin{bmatrix}14\end{bmatrix}$
