• True or False Problems of Vector Spaces and Linear Transformations These are True or False problems. For each of the following statements, determine if it contains a wrong information or not. Let $A$ be a $5\times 3$ matrix. Then the range of $A$ is a subspace in $\R^3$. The function $f(x)=x^2+1$ is not in the vector space $C[-1,1]$ because […]
• Simple Commutative Relation on Matrices Let $A$ and $B$ are $n \times n$ matrices with real entries. Assume that $A+B$ is invertible. Then show that $A(A+B)^{-1}B=B(A+B)^{-1}A.$ (University of California, Berkeley Qualifying Exam) Proof. Let $P=A+B$. Then $B=P-A$. Using these, we express the given […]
• Quiz 11. Find Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors/ Properties of Determinants (a) Find all the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the matrix $A=\begin{bmatrix} 3 & -2\\ 6& -4 \end{bmatrix}.$ (b) Let $A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 0 & 3 \\ 4 &5 &6 \\ 7 & 0 & 9 \end{bmatrix} \text{ and } B=\begin{bmatrix} 2 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 3 &0 […] • Find a Basis For the Null Space of a Given 2\times 3 Matrix Let \[A=\begin{bmatrix} 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 1 &1 &0 \end{bmatrix}$ be a matrix. Find a basis of the null space of the matrix $A$. (Remark: a null space is also called a kernel.)   Solution. The null space $\calN(A)$ of the matrix $A$ is by […]
• Basis For Subspace Consisting of Matrices Commute With a Given Diagonal Matrix Let $V$ be the vector space of all $3\times 3$ real matrices. Let $A$ be the matrix given below and we define $W=\{M\in V \mid AM=MA\}.$ That is, $W$ consists of matrices that commute with $A$. Then $W$ is a subspace of $V$. Determine which matrices are in the subspace $W$ […]
• Matrices Satisfying the Relation $HE-EH=2E$ Let $H$ and $E$ be $n \times n$ matrices satisfying the relation $HE-EH=2E.$ Let $\lambda$ be an eigenvalue of the matrix $H$ such that the real part of $\lambda$ is the largest among the eigenvalues of $H$. Let $\mathbf{x}$ be an eigenvector corresponding to $\lambda$. Then […]
• Prove that $\mathbf{v} \mathbf{v}^\trans$ is a Symmetric Matrix for any Vector $\mathbf{v}$ Let $\mathbf{v}$ be an $n \times 1$ column vector. Prove that $\mathbf{v} \mathbf{v}^\trans$ is a symmetric matrix.   Definition (Symmetric Matrix). A matrix $A$ is called symmetric if $A^{\trans}=A$. In terms of entries, an $n\times n$ matrix $A=(a_{ij})$ is […]
• Find the Dimension of the Subspace of Vectors Perpendicular to Given Vectors Let $V$ be a subset of $\R^4$ consisting of vectors that are perpendicular to vectors $\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b}$ and $\mathbf{c}$, where \[\mathbf{a}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 0 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{bmatrix}, \quad \mathbf{b}=\begin{bmatrix} 1 \\ 1 […]
