Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the matrix A given as [133456].
Understand that the problem asks to find the matrix -4A, which means multiplying every element of matrix A by -4.
Multiply each element of matrix A by -4: for example, multiply 1 by -4, 3 by -4, 3 by -4, and so on for all elements.
Write the resulting matrix after multiplication, keeping the same dimensions as matrix A (3 rows and 2 columns).
Double-check each multiplication to ensure accuracy and confirm that the negative sign is applied to all elements.
