Question:
\([\,{-}1\,]\,[\,1\ \ {-}1\,]=\ \ ?\)
\([\,{-}1\,]\,[\,1\ \ {-}1\,]=\ \ ?\)
Show Hint
Scalar $\times$ matrix $=$ scale every entry by the scalar.

- \([\,0\,]\)
- \([\,{-}1\ \ 1\,]\)
\(\begin{bmatrix}-1 \\ 1\end{bmatrix}\)
- \([\,2\ \ {-}2\,]\)
Hide Solution
Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Think of \([\,{-}1\,]\) as a plain number \(-1\). When a scalar multiplies a matrix (or row), it multiplies each entry.
So,
\[
[\,{-}1\,]\,[\,1\ \ {-}1\,]
=[\,{-}1\times 1\ \ {-}1\times(-1)\,]
=[\,{-}1\ \ 1\,].
\]
That's all—entrywise scaling.
