Chapter 2: Q24Q (page 93)
If L is \(n \times n\) and the equation \({\bf{Lx}} = {\bf{0}}\) has the trivial solution, do the columns of Lspan \({\mathbb{R}^{\bf{n}}}\)? Why?
No conclusion can be drawn about whether the columns of L span \({\mathbb{R}^n}\)as there is no information about L.

a. Verify that \({A^2} = I\) when \(A = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0\\3&{ - 1}\end{array}} \right]\).
b. Use partitioned matrices to show that \({M^2} = I\) when\(M = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0&0\\3&{ - 1}&0&0\\1&0&{ - 1}&0\\0&1&{ - 3}&1\end{array}} \right]\).
Suppose \(CA = {I_n}\)(the \(n \times n\) identity matrix). Show that the equation \(Ax = 0\) has only the trivial solution. Explain why Acannot have more columns than rows.
In Exercises 33 and 34, Tis a linear transformation from \({\mathbb{R}^2}\) into \({\mathbb{R}^2}\). Show that T is invertible and find a formula for \({T^{ - 1}}\).
34. \(T\left( {{x_1},{x_2}} \right) = \left( {6{x_1} - 8{x_2}, - 5{x_1} + 7{x_2}} \right)\)
Let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}3&{ - 6}\\{ - 1}&2\end{aligned}} \right)\). Construct a \({\bf{2}} \times {\bf{2}}\) matrix Bsuch that ABis the zero matrix. Use two different nonzero columns for B.
[M] Suppose memory or size restrictions prevent your matrix program from working with matrices having more than 32 rows and 32 columns, and suppose some project involves \(50 \times 50\) matrices A and B. Describe the commands or operations of your program that accomplish the following tasks.
a. Compute \(A + B\)
b. Compute \(AB\)
c. Solve \(Ax = b\) for some vector b in \({\mathbb{R}^{50}}\), assuming that \(A\) can be partitioned into a \(2 \times 2\) block matrix \(\left[ {{A_{ij}}} \right]\), with \({A_{11}}\) an invertible \(20 \times 20\) matrix, \({A_{22}}\) an invertible \(30 \times 30\) matrix, and \({A_{12}}\) a zero matrix. [Hint: Describe appropriate smaller systems to solve, without using any matrix inverse.]
