Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If the vector a = (3, 4) is scaled by a factor of 2, what is the new vector?
  • Step 1: Identify the original vector, which is a = (3, 4).
  • Step 2: Determine the scaling factor, which is 2.
  • Step 3: Multiply each component of the vector by the scaling factor. This means you will multiply 3 by 2 and 4 by 2.
  • Step 4: Calculate 3 * 2 = 6.
  • Step 5: Calculate 4 * 2 = 8.
  • Step 6: Combine the results to form the new vector, which is (6, 8).
