The video tutorial explains scalar multiplication using a matrix example. It demonstrates how to perform scalar multiplication on Matrix A to find 2A, showing its effect on the vertices of a triangle. The tutorial compares the original red triangle with the larger blue triangle, illustrating how scalar multiplication results in dilation by a factor of two. This process magnifies the triangle both horizontally and vertically, making the blue triangle twice as large as the red one. The video concludes by emphasizing scalar multiplication as a method for dilating polygons on the coordinate plane.

What is the purpose of scalar multiplication in this context?

• To reduce the size of geometric figures

• To perform dilation on the coordinate plane

• To find the perimeter of the triangle

• To calculate the area of polygons
