Multiplying Matrices Algebra 2 Ms. Khan

The document explains how to multiply matrices by scalar multiplication and matrix multiplication. Scalar multiplication involves multiplying each element of a matrix by a constant. Matrix multiplication involves multiplying the rows of the first matrix by the columns of the second matrix, requiring that the number of columns of the first matrix equals the number of rows of the second matrix. Examples are provided to demonstrate scalar and matrix multiplication.
