To find the product of \( 0.2 \) and the matrix \( \begin{bmatrix} 100 & 0.25 \ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} \), we simply multiply each element of the matrix by \( 0.2 \).
Let's perform the multiplication:
\[ 0.2 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 100 & 0.25 \ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 0.2 \cdot 100 & 0.2 \cdot 0.25 \ 0.2 \cdot -1 & 0.2 \cdot 2 \end{bmatrix} \]
Calculating each element:
- \( 0.2 \cdot 100 = 20 \)
- \( 0.2 \cdot 0.25 = 0.05 \)
- \( 0.2 \cdot -1 = -0.2 \)
- \( 0.2 \cdot 2 = 0.4 \)
Putting this together, the resulting matrix will be:
\[ 0.2 \cdot \begin{bmatrix} 100 & 0.25 \ -1 & 2 \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 20 & 0.05 \ -0.2 & 0.4 \end{bmatrix} \]
Thus, the complete product is
\[ \begin{bmatrix} 20 & 0.05 \ -0.2 & 0.4 \end{bmatrix}. \]
