3A3A

3A=3(2−304)=(3(2)3(−3)3(0)3(4))=(6−9012)3A = 3\begin{pmatrix}2&-3\\0&4\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}3(2)&3(-3)\\3(0)&3(4)\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}6&-9\\0&12\end{pmatrix}

−2A-2A

−2A=−2(2−304)=(−2(2)−2(−3)−2(0)−2(4))=(−460−8)-2A = -2\begin{pmatrix}2&-3\\0&4\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}-2(2)&-2(-3)\\-2(0)&-2(4)\end{pmatrix} = \begin{pmatrix}-4&6\\0&-8\end{pmatrix} …
