Answer 2

Answer:

$X = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}12&-24&8&16\end{array}\right]$

Step-by-step explanation:

A matrix is given by

$A = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}6&-12&4&8\end{array}\right]$

Now, we have to find the matrix X if $\frac{1}{2} X = A$

⇒ X = 2A

Now, multiplication of a constant with a matrix means multiplication with that constant with all the terms of the matrix.

So, $X = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}6 \times 2&-12 \times 2&4 \times 2&8 \times 2\end{array}\right]$

⇒ $X = \left[\begin{array}{cccc}12&-24&8&16\end{array}\right]$ (Answer)
