Multiply A Matrix By A Number

                    Lesson 1

                                                             

                                                            Let A=[aij] be an m X n matrix and k be any number called scalar.

                                                            Then the matrix obtained by multiplying every element of A by k and is denoted by kA.

                                                            Therefore, kA = [kAij]m X n
