To multiply a vector by a real number (also called scalar multiplication), you simply multiply each component of the vector by the scalar. If you have a vector v = {v1, v2, v3} and a scalar k , the result of multiplying the vector by k is: k{v} = k*{v1, v2, v3} = {k*v1, k*v2, k*v3} In other words, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar. For example, if v = {1, 2, 3} and k = 4, then: 4v = 4*{1, 2, 3} = {4, 8, 12}

That’s correct! For the example you provided: • The vector v = \{1, 2, 3\} • The scalar k = 4 The result of multiplying the vector by the scalar is: 4v = 4 \times \{1, 2, 3\} = \{4 \times 1, 4 \times 2, 4 \times 3\} = \{4, 8, 12\} This is a basic property of vectors in linear algebra, often used to scale the direction or magnitude of the vector by the scalar k .

To multiply a vector by a real number (scalar), each component of the vector is multiplied by that number. If the vector is v=[v1,v2,, Vn], and the scalar is k the result of multiplying the vector by the scalar is: k. v=[kv1,kv2,, kVn], Example 1 (2D Vector): Given the vector. =[3,5]and scalar k=2 We have 2.[3,5]=[2.3,2.5]=[6,10] Example 2 (3D Vector): Given the vector v=[1,-3,6] and scaler k= -4 We have : -4.[1,-3,6]=[(-4).1,(-4).(-3),(-4).6]=[_4,12,-24] In both cases, each component of the vector is multiplied by the scalar.

It is done by multiplying real number to each component of the vector. For example, if we have a vector A = 2i + 4j + 2k and if we are multiplying by 3, then the resulting vector A = 6i + 12j + 6k.

It is like any other multiplication i.e. only the magnitude will change. For example, if you are multiplying a vector by 5 then the vector will become 5 times the original value. If the vector quantity is velocity, suppose a car is moving in a particular direction with 40 km per hour and speed is doubled then the resulting speed will be 80 km per hour in the same direction. If you consider the vector in two dimensions. Velocity = xî + yĵ If we double the velocity, 2 x Velocity = 2(xî + yĵ) = 2xî + 2yĵ Similarly, it behaves in three dimensions. So, it is nothing special. Don't get scared or it.

To multiply a vector by a real number (also known as a scalar), you simply multiply each component of the vector by that number. **v'** = k * **v** = (k * x, k * y, k * z) This operation scales the vector by the factor of **k**. If **k** is greater than 1, the vector length increases; if **k** is between 0 and 1, the vector length decreases; and if **k** is negative, the direction of the vector is reversed.

If the vector is v with components x and y, ie. V = (x, y) and the number (also known as a scalar) is m, then the product of the vector, V, and the number, m, is m . V = mV = m(x, y) = (mx, my).

Consider a vector v = {v1,v2,v3,v4,v5} and a scalar(number) k. To multiply this vector with the given scalar value, we will multiply each element of the vector individually by the scalar value, i.e, k*v = k*{v1,v2,v3,v4,v5} = {k*v1, k*v2, k*v3, k*v4, k*v5}. For example : Consider the vector v = {1,2,3,4,5} that we want to multiply be scalar k=2. On multiplication, we get the following results: k*v = 2*v = 2*{1,2,3,4,5} = {2*1, 2*2, 2*3, 2*4, 2*5} = {2,4,6,8,10}. Therefore, our result is {2,4,6,8,10}.

Magnitude = square root ( 2^2 + 3^2) = square root(13). Direction = arctan(3/2) Now for 2x , we have 2x = 4i + 6j. Magnitude = square root ( 4^2 + 6^2) = 4*square root(13). Direction = arctan(6/4) = arctan(3/2).

To multiply a vector by a real number (also known as a scalar), you simply multiply each component of the vector by that number. For example, if you have a vector V = (x, y) and you want to multiply it by a real number k, the result will be: k * V = (k * x, k * y) Here's a step-by-step breakdown: 1. Identify the vector components. For a vector V = (x, y), x is the first component and y is the second component. 2. Choose the real number (scalar) you want to multiply by, let's say k. 3. Multiply each component of the vector by k. So if k = 3 and V = (2, 4), then: 3 * V = (3 * 2, 3 * 4) = (6, 12) That's how you multiply a vector by a real number!

To multiply a vector by a real number, also regarded as a scalar, you must multiply each vector component by the scalar. Then the result is a new vector with a magnitude equal to the scalar times of the original vector while the direction of the vector remains unchanged. For example, let us consider a vector V={2, 4, 3} and let k be a scalar quantity (real number). If this vector is multiplied by the scalar k, then we get a new vector denoted by kv and is given by kv=k*{2, 4, 3} = 2i+4j+3k. Here the magnitude of the new vector is equal to k times of the magnitude of the original vector and the direction of the new vector kv is the same as that of the given vector v. Note: if k is negative, then the direction of the resultant vector kv becomes just opposite of the direction of the vector v

Let’s say you have a vector v = (v₁, v₂, ..., vₙ) and a scalar k. When you multiply the vector by the scalar, you simply multiply each component of the vector by k: k × v = (k × v₁, k × v₂, ..., k × vₙ) Example: If v = (2, 3) and the scalar k = 4, the multiplication would be: 4 × (2, 3) = (4 × 2, 4 × 3) = (8, 12) This process can be extended to vectors of any size. For example, with a -3 dimensional vector: If v = (1, -2, 3) and k = -3: -3 × (1, -2, 3) = (-3 × 1, -3 × -2, -3 × 3) = (-3, 6, -9)

To multiply a vector by a real number (also called scalar multiplication), you multiply each component of the vector by that real number (the scalar). If v is a vector and k is a real number, the result of multiplying v by k is another vector kv. For a vector v = (v₁, v₂, ..., vₙ) in n -dimensional space, the multiplication is done component-wise: kv=k(v1, v2, ....,vn) = (kv1,kv2, ...,kvn) Example: if V= (2,3) and k=4 then the result is: 4v= 4(2,3) = (4×2,4×3)=(8,12) So, multiplying a vector by a real number scales the vector by that factor.

Hi! To multiply a vector with a real number, you need to multiply the real number by every number inside the vector, making sure your answer is in vector form. For example, if we were multiplying 2 by the vector (1,2), we would start by multiplying our real number (2) by the number in the first column of the vector (1) -> 1x2 = 2. Now we do the same for the second number of the vector (2) -> 2x2 = 4. Now put these new number back into the vector giving us (2,4)

The real number (aka the scalar quantity) gets multiplied to each component of the vector. Let's consider an example to understand this better. Suppose the vector in this situation is V= i+j+2k and the real number is 2. So, multiplying 2 by each unit in the vector would give us 2i+2j+4k. Breakdown of the solution is as follows: V= 2(i+j+2k) V=(2*i) + (2*j) + (2*2k) V= 2i+2j+4k

Hey Melanie! I'd be happy to help! 😊 To multiply a vector by a real number, you simply multiply each component of the vector by that number. For example, if you have a vector v = (2, 3) and you want to multiply it by a real number, say 4, you just multiply each part of the vector by 4: 4 * v = 4 * (2, 3) = (4 * 2, 4 * 3) = (8, 12) So, multiplying by a real number (or scalar) just scales the vector, making it longer or shorter. If you multiply by a positive number, it keeps its direction, and if you multiply by a negative number, it points in the opposite direction. Hope this makes it a bit clearer! Let me know if you need more help or examples! 😊✨

A vector is a not a number, it's a property that has both direction and magnitude. A number just has the magnitude property. So if you were to multiply a vector by a real number we would get another vector. For example, vectors are usually given by a number with a line underneath it. Let the real number R = 5 and the vector V = 3, then 5 x 3 = 15 and that 15 has the exact same direction as the vector V, it's just that it now has a larger magnitude.

To multiply a vector by a real number (also called scalar multiplication), you multiply each component of the vector by that scalar.

Example: If v = (2, 3, 4) and c = 5, then: c·v = (5·2, 5·3, 5·4) = (10, 15, 20). This operation scales the vector by the real number c, changing its magnitude but not its direction (unless c is negative, in which case it also reverses the direction).
