Q6. Perform the indicated matrix ope... [FREE SOLUTION]

Chapter 4: Q6. (page 163)

Perform the indicated matrix operation. If the matrix doesn鈥檛 exist, write impossible.
6. $3 [\begin{matrix} 6 & 鈭� 1 & 5 & 2 \\ 7 & 3 & 鈭� 2 & 8 \end{matrix}]$

Short Answer

Expert verified

The final matrix after performing the indicated matrix operation is

$3 [\begin{matrix} 6 & 鈭� 1 & 5 & 2 \\ 7 & 3 & 鈭� 2 & 8 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 18 & 鈭� 3 & 15 & 6 \\ 21 & 9 & 鈭� 6 & 24 \end{matrix}]$ .

Step by step solution

- Define concept of scalar multiplication

The product of a scalar k and an $m 脳 n$ matrix is an $m 脳 n$ matrix in which each element equals k times the corresponding elements of the original matrix.

- Multiply each element by

In order to find $3 [\begin{matrix} 6 & 鈭� 1 & 5 & 2 \\ 7 & 3 & 鈭� 2 & 8 \end{matrix}]$ , multiply each element of the matrix $[\begin{matrix} 6 & 鈭� 1 & 5 & 2 \\ 7 & 3 & 鈭� 2 & 8 \end{matrix}]$ by 3.

$3 [\begin{matrix} 6 & 鈭� 1 & 5 & 2 \\ 7 & 3 & 鈭� 2 & 8 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 3 (6) & 3 (鈭� 1) & 3 (5) & 3 (2) \\ 3 (7) & 3 (3) & 3 (鈭� 2) & 3 (8) \end{matrix}]$

- Simplify the matrix

Further simplify the matrix.

$\begin{matrix} 3 [\begin{matrix} 6 & 鈭� 1 & 5 & 2 \\ 7 & 3 & 鈭� 2 & 8 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 3 (6) & 3 (鈭� 1) & 3 (5) & 3 (2) \\ 3 (7) & 3 (3) & 3 (鈭� 2) & 3 (8) \end{matrix}] \\ = [\begin{matrix} 18 & 鈭� 3 & 15 & 6 \\ 21 & 9 & 鈭� 6 & 24 \end{matrix}] \end{matrix}$
