Question

If (3). write the following vectors in column vector form:

Answer 1

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

a = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3\\2\\\end{array}\right]$

To obtain -3a multiply each of the elements of a by -3

3a = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-3(3)\\-3(2)\\\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}-9\\-6\\\end{array}\right]$

To obtain 1.5a multiply each element by 1.5

1.5a = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1.5(3)\\1.5(2)\\\end{array}\right]$ = $\left[\begin{array}{ccc}4.5\\3\\\end{array}\right]$
