What will be the effect of multiplying negative scalar number with a vector.. Explain with the help of drawing.

Sagot :

When we multiply a vector by a scalar number, each dimension of the vector will be multiplied by the number.

For example, multiplying the vector <3, 4> by 2 would create the vector <6, 8>.

But if this scalar is negative, the dimensions of the vector will change the signal:

vector <3, 4> multiplied by -2 creates the vector <-6, -8>.

This causes the original vector to change its direction to the opposite direction, that is, it flips 180°:
