Vector Multiplication

Scalar Multiplication

Multiplying a given vector say A by a scalar say m generates a new vector say B which is called  as a scalar multiple of A. The vectors which are lying along the same straight line are known as  co-linear vectors.  

A = x î + y ĵ

when A is multiplied by the scalar a then       

B=m A = m(x î + y ĵ)

Multiplication of a vector by a scalar is distributive.
