Chapter 3: Q5P (page 112)

In Problems 1 to 5, all lines are in the (x,y) plane.

5. Write, in parametric form, the equation of the y axis.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The parametric form of the equation of y- axis is y=bt.

Step by step solution

01

Concept of parametric form

To find the parametric form of y axis in equationy=x+bt

Iny axis x=0.

02

Determine the parametric form

Consider the equation ofy-axis isx=0.

The parametric form ofy- axis isy=x+bt

y=0+bty=bt

Hence, the parametric form of the equation of y-axis isy=bt.

Evaluate the determinants in Problems 1 to 6 by the methods shown in Example 4. Remember that the reason for doing this is not just to get the answer (your computer can give you that) but to learn how to manipulate determinants correctly. Check your answers by computer.

Draw diagrams and prove (4.1).

Show that an orthogonal matrix M with all real eigenvalues is symmetric. Hints: Method 1. When the eigenvalues are real, so are the eigenvectors, and the unitary matrix which diagonalizes M is orthogonal. Use (11.27). Method 2. From Problem 46, note that the only real eigenvalues of an orthogonal M are ±1. Thus show that M=M-1 . Remember that M is orthogonal to show that M=MT.

Show that ifA and Bare matrices which don't commute, then e(A+B)=eAeB , but if they do commute then the relation holds. Hint: Write out several terms of the infinite series for eAeB , and e(A+B)and, do the multiplications carefully assuming that anddon't commute. Then see what happens if they do commute

The Caley-Hamilton theorem states that "A matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation." Verify this theorem for the matrix Min equation (11.1). Hint: Substitute the matrixMforrole="math" localid="1658822242352" λin the characteristic equation (11.4) and verify that you have a correct matrix equation. Further hint: Don't do all the arithmetic. Use (11.36) to write the left side of your equation asC(D2-7D+6)C-1and show that the parenthesis=0. Remember that, by definition, the eigenvalues satisfy the characteristic equation.
