1. is Scalar Matrix ?
`[[2,0,0],[0,2,0],[0,0,2]]`
Solution:
A square matrix, in which all diagonal elements are equal to same scalar and all other elements are zero, is called a scalar matrix.
Or
A diagonal matrix, in which all diagonal elements are equal to same scalar, is called a scalar matrix.
| `A` | = | | `2` | `0` | `0` | | | `0` | `2` | `0` | | | `0` | `0` | `2` | |
|
Here, all diagonal elements are equal to same scalar(2) and all other elements are zero, so it is a scalar matrix.
2. is Scalar Matrix ?
`[[2,0,0],[0,3,0],[0,0,2]]`
Solution:
A square matrix, in which all diagonal elements are equal to same scalar and all other elements are zero, is called a scalar matrix.
Or
A diagonal matrix, in which all diagonal elements are equal to same scalar, is called a scalar matrix.
| `A` | = | | `2` | `0` | `0` | | | `0` | `3` | `0` | | | `0` | `0` | `2` | |
|
Here, `a_(22)=3!=2`, so it is an not a scalar matrix.
