Math Problem Statement

Compute the following scalar multiple of a 3x5 matrix. The scalar is obscured.

Solution

The matrix and scalar multiplication problem appears to involve multiplying a scalar by a 3x5 matrix. However, the scalar itself is obscured by the orange marking. Could you provide the scalar value, or clarify it? Here's how the calculation works if the scalar is kk:

For a matrix:

4 & 8 & -8 & -10 \\ 10 & 10 & 9 & 0 & 6 \\ -9 & -4 & -4 & -7 & 3 \end{bmatrix}$$ Multiply each element of the matrix by $$k$$. For example: $$k \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 4 & 8 & -8 & -10 \\ 10 & 10 & 9 & 0 & 6 \\ -9 & -4 & -4 & -7 & 3 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4k & 8k & -8k & -10k \\ 10k & 10k & 9k & 0 & 6k \\ -9k & -4k & -4k & -7k & 3k \end{bmatrix}.$$ Let me know the scalar $$k$$, and I'll provide the full result!
