Answer

The ij-th entry in the matrix $cA$ = ij-th entry in the matrix A, multiplied by the scalar c

Work Step by Step

$M_{ij}$ is the element of matrix M at its ith row, jth column. or, as we say in short, the ij-th entry. $(cA)_{ij}$ = ij-th entry in the matrix $cA$ $c(A_{ij})$ = ij-th entry in the matrix A, multiplied by the scalar c $(cA)_{ij}=c(A_{ij})$ means that ij-th entry in the matrix $cA$ = ij-th entry in the matrix A, multiplied by the scalar c ($cA$ is the $m\times n$ matrix obtained by multiplying all the entries of $A$ by $c)$
