Your grade is based on correctness, completeness, and clarity on each exercise. You may use a calculator, but no notes, books, or other students. Good luck!
1.) (15 pts.)
a.) (10 pts.) Consider the subset of P 2 of all polynomials of the form p(t) = a + bt^2 , where a is in R and b is in R. Demonstrate that this subset is a subspace of P 2.
b.) (5 pts.) Let H be the set of points inside and on a circle of radius 2 that is centered at the origin of the xy−plane. That is, H = {(x, y) : x^2 + y^2 ≤ 4 }. Use an example (two vectors, or a vector and a scalar) to show that H is not a subspace of R^2.
2.) (15 pts.) Use the Invertible Matrix Theorem (IMT) to respond to the following questions. Be sure to state clearly which parts of the IMT you are using. In all cases, assume the matrix A is n × n.
a.) (5 pts.) If the equation Ax = 0 has a nontrivial solution, then does A have fewer than n pivot positions?
b.) (5 pts.) If 0 is not an eigenvalue of A, is AT^ invertible?
c.) (5 pts.) Suppose the columns of A form a basis for Rn. What can you say about dim Col A? What can you say about dim Nul A?
4.) (15 pts.)
a.) (7 pts.) Is λ = 2 an eigenvalue of A =
? Why or why not?
b.) (8 pts.) Is u =
an eigenvector of B =
? Why or why not?
5.) (15 pts.) Use any theorems or other results from this semester to respond to the following questions. Be sure to state clearly which theorems, parts of theorems, or other reasoning you are using.
a.) (5 pts.) Let A be an n × n matrix. If the equation Ax = b has at least one solution for each b in Rn, then is there a unique solution for each b in Rn?
b.) (5 pts.) If n×n matrices E and F have the property that EF = I, then must F E = I?
c.) (5 pts.) Let B be an m × n matrix, where m and n are not necessarily equal. Is it still true that dim Row B = dim Col B?
7.) (10 pts.) Let A =
. Complete the following tasks by hand, showing
appropriate work. Use the back of this page if you need more room.
a.) (5 pts.) Compute AB for B =
b.) (5 pts.) Use the algorithm discussed in Chapter 2 to compute A−^1.
