Example data table

Matrix A Scalar k Result R = A + k
[ [1, 2], [3, 4] ] 5 [ [6, 7], [8, 9] ]
[ [-1.5, 0], [2.25, 10] ] -2 [ [-3.5, -2], [0.25, 8] ]
Examples show the same entry rule applied to every position.

Formula used

Given a matrix A of size m×n and a scalar k, the scalar addition result R is defined entrywise:

R[i,j] = A[i,j] + k

This operation shifts every element by the same amount, preserving the matrix shape and relative differences between entries.

How to use this calculator

  1. Select an input mode: grid editor or paste matrix.
  2. If using the grid, set rows and columns, then enter values.
  3. If pasting, insert rows and choose a delimiter if needed.
  4. Enter your scalar value k and choose precision.
  5. Press Calculate to show the result above this form.
  6. Use the download buttons to export CSV or PDF.

FAQs

1) What does matrix scalar addition do?

It adds the same scalar to every matrix entry. The matrix dimensions stay the same, while all values shift equally.

2) Can I paste a matrix from a spreadsheet?

Yes. Copy rows and paste them. Tabs, spaces, commas, and semicolons are supported, and auto-detect usually works well.

3) What happens if my pasted rows have different lengths?

The calculator rejects ragged input. Make sure each row has the same number of values so the matrix is rectangular.

4) Are negative scalars allowed?

Yes. A negative scalar subtracts its magnitude from every entry, which is equivalent to adding a negative value.

5) Why do blank grid cells become zero?

Treating blanks as zero speeds entry and avoids accidental missing values. If you need a different value, type it explicitly.

6) Does precision change the real calculation?

No. Precision only affects displayed and exported rounding. Internally, values are computed using standard floating arithmetic.

7) What is the maximum matrix size supported?

This tool supports up to 10×10 for performance and readability. For larger matrices, paste smaller blocks or process in parts.

8) How are CSV and PDF exports produced?

Exports use the most recent computed result stored for this session. Run a calculation first, then download in your preferred format.
