Question
Sum
If A = `[[0 , 2],[3, -4]]` and kA = `[[0 , 3"a"],[2"b", 24]]` then find the value of k,a and b.
Solution
Given,
kA = `[[0 , 3"a"],[2"b", 24]]` .....(i)
A = `[[0 , 2],[3, -4]]`, implies kA = `[[0 , 2"k"],[3"k", -4"k"]]` .....(ii)
`[[0 , 2"k"],[3"k", -4"k"]] = [[0, 3"a"],[2"b" , 24]]`
- 4k = 24 ⇒ k = - 6
3a = 2k ⇒ a = - 4
2b = 3k ⇒ b = - 9
