Work out a - 2b as a column vector.

Answer:
[-2; 1 ] is the new column vector
Step-by-step explanation:
See explanation in the attachment.
The value of a-2b as a column vector is [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}-2&1\end{array}\right][/tex] .
A matrix is an arrangement of numbers, expressions or symbols arranged in rows and columns as a rectangular array. These rows and columns define the size or dimension of a matrix.
For the given situation,
The matrix is
[tex]a=\left[\begin{array}{c}4&5\end{array}\right][/tex] , [tex]b=\left[\begin{array}{c}3&2\end{array}\right][/tex]
The operation is a - 2b. The matrix becomes
⇒ [tex]a-2b=\left[\begin{array}{c}4&5\end{array}\right] -2\left[\begin{array}{c}3&2\end{array}\right][/tex]
⇒ [tex]a-2b=\left[\begin{array}{c}4&5\end{array}\right] -\left[\begin{array}{c}6&4\end{array}\right][/tex]
⇒ [tex]a-2b=\left[\begin{array}{c}-2&1\end{array}\right][/tex]
Hence we can conclude that the value of a-2b as a column vector is [tex]\left[\begin{array}{c}-2&1\end{array}\right][/tex] .
