A matrix and a scalar is a matrix. S + M1 = M2. A scalar is a real number whose square is positive. A matrix is an array of numbers, some of which are scalars and others are vectors, square of the number is negative. A matrix can be a quaternion, the sum of a scalars and three vectors.
Multiply each element of the matrix by the scalar.
Identity or Unit Matrix If in the scaler matrix the value of k=1, the matrix is called the identity or unit matrix. It is denoted by I or U.
It is a scalar multiplier.
A scalar is any single number, like 27, while a matrix contains at least 2 numbers such as [27, 3].
