Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the matrix A given as [2-10-21412104-22].
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, the element in the first row and first column (2) becomes -4 \(\times\) 2 = -8.
Apply this multiplication to all elements in matrix A to form the new matrix -4A.
Write the resulting matrix with all elements multiplied by -4, maintaining the same dimensions and order as matrix A.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Matrix Scalar Multiplication

Scalar multiplication involves multiplying every element of a matrix by a constant (scalar). For example, multiplying matrix A by -4 means each entry in A is multiplied by -4, resulting in a new matrix with scaled values.
