Vector multiplied by scalar
Vectors can be multiplied by scalars, which results in a new vector. This operation involves multiplying each component of the vector by the scalar. The resulting vector has the same direction as the original vector but its magnitude is scaled by the scalar. This operation is commonly used in physics and mathematics to scale vectors by a certain factor.
For example, if we have a vector v = (2, 4, 6) and we multiply it by a scalar k = 3, the resulting vector would be kv = (2*3, 4*3, 6*3) = (6, 12, 18).
This operation is valid and commonly used in various applications such as physics, engineering, and computer graphics. It allows us to scale vectors to represent different quantities or magnitudes.
