Question
Perform the following operations. If it is not possible to perform an operation, explain.$$2\left[\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{4} \\\frac{1}{3}\end{array}\right]+3\left[\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{4} \\\frac{1}{6}\end{array}\right]$$
Step 1
This is done by multiplying each element in the matrix by the scalar. So, we have: $$2\left[\begin{array}{l} \frac{1}{4} \\ \frac{1}{3} \end{array}\right] = \left[\begin{array}{l} 2*\frac{1}{4} \\ 2*\frac{1}{3} \end{array}\right] = Show more…
