Full solution

Q. Find the product.\newline14[2041612]= -\frac{1}{4} \cdot\left[\begin{array}{cc} 20 & -4 \\ 16 & -12 \end{array}\right]=
  1. Understand Operation: Understand the operation to be performed.\newlineWe need to multiply each element of the matrix [204 1612]\left[\begin{array}{cc}20 & -4 \ 16 & -12\end{array}\right] by the scalar 14-\frac{1}{4}.
  2. Multiply First Element: Multiply the first element of the matrix by 14-\frac{1}{4}. \newline14×20=5-\frac{1}{4} \times 20 = -5
  3. Multiply Second Element: Multiply the second element of the matrix by 14-\frac{1}{4}. \newline14×4=1-\frac{1}{4} \times -4 = 1
  4. Multiply Third Element: Multiply the third element of the matrix by 14-\frac{1}{4}. 14×16=4-\frac{1}{4} \times 16 = -4
  5. Multiply Fourth Element: Multiply the fourth element of the matrix by 14-\frac{1}{4}.14×12=3 -\frac{1}{4} \times -12 = 3
  6. Combine Results: Combine the results to form the new matrix.\newlineThe resulting matrix after multiplying by 14-\frac{1}{4} is \left[\begin{array}{cc}-5 & 1 \-4 & 3\end{array}\right].
