[M] For block operations, it may be necessary to access or enter submatrices of a large matrix. Describe the functions or commands of your matrix program that accomplish the following tasks. Suppose A is a \(20 \times 30\) matrix.
[Note: It may not be necessary to specify the zero blocks in B.]
Let \(S = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}0&1&0&0&0\\0&0&1&0&0\\0&0&0&1&0\\0&0&0&0&1\\0&0&0&0&0\end{aligned}} \right)\). Compute \({S^k}\) for \(k = {\bf{2}},...,{\bf{6}}\).
Exercises 15 and 16 concern arbitrary matrices A, B, and Cfor which the indicated sums and products are defined. Mark each statement True or False. Justify each answer.
16. a. If A and B are \({\bf{3}} \times {\bf{3}}\) and \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{{{\bf{b}}_1}}&{{{\bf{b}}_2}}&{{{\bf{b}}_3}}\end{aligned}} \right)\), then \(AB = \left( {A{{\bf{b}}_1} + A{{\bf{b}}_2} + A{{\bf{b}}_3}} \right)\).
b. The second row of ABis the second row of Amultiplied on the right by B.
c. \(\left( {AB} \right)C = \left( {AC} \right)B\)
d. \({\left( {AB} \right)^T} = {A^T}{B^T}\)
e. The transpose of a sum of matrices equals the sum of their transposes.
Suppose P is invertible and \(A = PB{P^{ - 1}}\). Solve for Bin terms of A.
Describe in words what happens when you compute \({A^{\bf{5}}}\), \({A^{{\bf{10}}}}\), \({A^{{\bf{20}}}}\), and \({A^{{\bf{30}}}}\) for \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{1/6}&{1/2}&{1/3}\\{1/2}&{1/4}&{1/4}\\{1/3}&{1/4}&{5/12}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
