Transcript text: Let $A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}9 & -4 \\ -3 & -8\end{array}\right]$
Find -2 A
$-2 A=$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Identify the Scalar and the Matrix
The given scalar is $k = -2$ and the matrix $A$ is provided as input.
Step 2: Scalar Multiplication
For each element $a_{{ij}}$ in the matrix $A$, compute $a'_{{ij}} = k \cdot a_{{ij}}$.
The operation is performed for every element in the matrix to obtain the new matrix $A'$.
Original Matrix $A$:
9 | -4
-3 | -8
Resultant Matrix $A'$ after Scalar Multiplication by $k$:
-18 | 8
6 | 16
Final Answer:
The resultant matrix $A'$ after scalar multiplication by $k$ is shown above.
