@mathmate ??

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yes?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Can you help me please?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

The vector problem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes...

OpenStudy (mathmate):

To multiply a vector by a scalar (pure number), you multiply each component of the vector by the scalar and end up with a new scalar. For example, 2(3,4)=(6,8).

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so i have to multiply 3 and 4 and then 7 and 4?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

yep! The result is a "longer" vector.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

AND I would get 12 and 28...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would that b my answer?

OpenStudy (mathmate):

written in the angle brackets, like the original vector v.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes (12,28)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

omg so thats how you solve those problems, pretty easy...

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Angle brackets, not the round brackets like I did. I was in a different language and could not find the angle brackets.

OpenStudy (mathmate):

Yep, you got that one right! :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no its okay its multiple choice :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):
