I have a cell array element: (a - 1)*(a - 4)

And I have a number: 0.0833

When I try to multiply them:

cellarray{this} * matrix(that)

, the result is

((a - 1)*(a - 4))/12

The expected result would be

(a - 1)*(a - 4)*0.0833

(or the calculated equivalent), but it isn't. What could be the problem and how can I achieve what is wanted?

Please demonstrate this by running the code online for us.

cellarray{this} * vpa(matrix(that))

That's perfect! Except it display an insane amount of digits (0.08333333...), how can I limit that to like 4?

vpa(matrix(that), 4)
