Intro

Overview of scalar multiplication properties for matrices

Ex.1

Ex.2

Showing that multiplying a matrix by scalar zero gives a zero matrix

Proving that 1 times any matrix equals the original matrix

Showing the distributive property of scalar multiplication over matrix addition

Proving the scalar distributive property (c+d)Y = cY + dY

Verifying the distributive property (c+d)(X+Y) = cX + cY + dX + dY

In this lesson, we will look at the properties of matrix scalar multiplication. These properties include the dimension property for scalar multiplication, associative property, and distributive property. The dimension property states that multiplying a scalar with a matrix (call it A) will give another matrix that has the same dimensions as A. For the associative property, changing the order in which you multiple the matrices has no effect on the final computation. The distributive property states that a scalar can be distributed to the addition or subtraction of matrices. The addition or subtraction of scalars can also be distributed to a matrix. Lastly, we will learn that there is a multiplication property for zero matrices. This property states that multiplying a zero scalar with a matrix will result in a <a href="[[glossary.html|{"keyword":"Zero matrix"}]]">zero matrix</a>. In addition, any scalar multiplied by a zero matrix will result in a zero matrix.
