Chapter 5: Q5.2-22E (page 267)

Question: In Exercises 21 and 22, \(A\) and \(B\) are \(n \times n\) matrices. Mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.

  1. If \(A\) is \(3 \times 3\), with columns \({{\rm{a}}_1}\), \({{\rm{a}}_2}\), and \({{\rm{a}}_3}\), then \(\det A\) equals the volume of the parallelepiped determined by \({{\rm{a}}_1}\), \({{\rm{a}}_2}\), and \({{\rm{a}}_3}\).
  2. \(\det {A^T} = \left( { - 1} \right)\det A\).
  3. The multiplicity of a root \(r\) of the characteristic equation of \(A\) is called the algebraic multiplicity of \(r\) as an eigenvalue of \(A\).
  4. A row replacement operation on \(A\) does not change the eigenvalues.

a. The given statement is False.

b. The given statement is False.

c. The given statement is True.

d. The given statement is False.

Step by step solution

01

Find an answer for part (a)

Assume that matrix \(A\) be a \(3 \times 3\) matrix, then \(\left| {\det A} \right|\) is equal to the volume of the parallelepiped determined by the columns \({{\rm{a}}_1}\), \({{\rm{a}}_2}\), and \({{\rm{a}}_3}\) of \(A\).

Therefore, the given statement is False.

02

Find an answer for part (b)

According to theorem 3 (Properties of Determinant): \(\det {A^T} = \det A\).

Therefore, the given statement is False.

03

Find an answer for part (c)

The multiplicity of an eigenvalue \(\lambda \) is its multiplicity as a root of the characteristic equation.

This implies that the multiplicity of a root \(r\) of the characteristic equation of \(A\) is called the algebraic multiplicity of \(r\) as an eigenvalue of \(A\)

Therefore, the given statement is True.

04

Find an answer for part (d)

When we apply row replacement operation on the matrix \(A\) , then the eigenvalues of the matrix \(A\) change.

Therefore, the given statement is False.

Question: For the matrices in Exercises 15-17, list the eigenvalues, repeated according to their multiplicities.

15. \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}4&- 7&0&2\\0&3&- 4&6\\0&0&3&{ - 8}\\0&0&0&1\end{array}} \right]\)

Question: Construct a random integer-valued \(4 \times 4\) matrix \(A\).

  1. Reduce \(A\) to echelon form \(U\) with no row scaling, and use \(U\) in formula (1) (before Example 2) to compute \(\det A\). (If \(A\) happens to be singular, start over with a new random matrix.)
  2. Compute the eigenvalues of \(A\) and the product of these eigenvalues (as accurately as possible).
  3. List the matrix \(A\), and, to four decimal places, list the pivots in \(U\) and the eigenvalues of \(A\). Compute \(\det A\) with your matrix program, and compare it with the products you found in (a) and (b).

Suppose \(A\) is diagonalizable and \(p\left( t \right)\) is the characteristic polynomial of \(A\). Define \(p\left( A \right)\) as in Exercise 5, and show that \(p\left( A \right)\) is the zero matrix. This fact, which is also true for any square matrix, is called the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.

Let\(T:{{\rm P}_2} \to {{\rm P}_3}\) be a linear transformation that maps a polynomial \({\bf{p}}\left( t \right)\) into the polynomial \(\left( {t + 5} \right){\bf{p}}\left( t \right)\).

  1. Find the image of\({\bf{p}}\left( t \right) = 2 - t + {t^2}\).
  2. Show that \(T\) is a linear transformation.
  3. Find the matrix for \(T\) relative to the bases \(\left\{ {1,t,{t^2}} \right\}\) and \(\left\{ {1,t,{t^2},{t^3}} \right\}\).

Let\(B = \left\{ {{{\bf{b}}_{\bf{1}}},{{\bf{b}}_{\bf{2}}},{{\bf{b}}_{\bf{3}}}} \right\}\) and \(D = \left\{ {{{\bf{d}}_{\bf{1}}},{{\bf{d}}_{\bf{2}}}} \right\}\) be bases for vector space \(V\) and \(W\), respectively. Let \(T:V \to W\) be a linear transformation with the property that

\(T\left( {{{\bf{b}}_1}} \right) = 3{{\bf{d}}_1} - 5{{\bf{d}}_2}\), \(T\left( {{{\bf{b}}_2}} \right) = - {{\bf{d}}_1} + 6{{\bf{d}}_2}\), \(T\left( {{{\bf{b}}_3}} \right) = 4{{\bf{d}}_2}\)

Find the matrix for \(T\) relative to \(B\), and\(D\).
