Use a specific example then expand to the general case to determine what happens under scalar multiplication. That is, determine if k(a * b) = (ka) *b = a* (kb)? What does this even mean? Merci beaucoup. I am thankful for the help.

Use a specific example then expand to the general case to determine what happens under scalar multiplication. That is, determine if k(a * b) = (ka) *b  =  a* (kb)? What does this even mean? Merci beaucoup. I am thankful for the help.
