Complete the multiplication: 2EA
A. [14 −4]
B. [7 −4]
C. [14 4]
D. [7 −2]

In mathematics, a matrix (plural matrices) is a rectangular array of numbers, symbols, or expressions, arranged in rows and columns.
Given that
E = [ 1 2]
A = | 3 0|
| 2 -1 |
2EA = 2 [1 2] | 3 0|
| 2 -1 |
2EA = [ 14 -4]
Answer:
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}14&-4\end{array}\right][/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
To find out the matrix 2EA we multiply EA first and then multiply it by 2
E=[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&2\end{array}\right][/tex]
A=[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}3&0\\2&-1\end{array}\right][/tex]
To get EA , multiply 1 and 2 with 3 and 2= 3+4=7
multiply 1 and 2 with 0 and -1= -2
EA= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}7&-2\end{array}\right][/tex]
Now we multiply 2 with EA
So matrix becomes
2EA= [tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc}14&-4\end{array}\right][/tex]
