The Vector Scalar Multiplication formula, (k⋅V), computes the vector
Vector in three dimensions which is the result of a scalar multiplication of a vector (V) and a scalar (k).
INSTRUCTIONS: Enter the following:
- (k) Scalar
- (V) Vector
Scalar Multiplication (V'): The calculator returns the resulting vector (V') in comma separated form.
The Math / Science
The formula for the scalar multiplication of a 3D vector is:
V' = k⋅V
where:
- V'[1] = k⋅V[1]
- V'[2] = k⋅V[2]
- V'[3] = k⋅V[3]
For example, if k = 2 and V = [3,6,1]
V' = [2*3, 2*6, 2*1] = [6,12,2]
