Let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{2}}&{\bf{5}}\\{ - {\bf{3}}}&{\bf{1}}\end{aligned}} \right)\) and \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{4}}&{ - {\bf{5}}}\\{\bf{3}}&k\end{aligned}} \right)\). What value(s) of \(k\), if any will make \(AB = BA\)?
Let Abe an invertible \(n \times n\) matrix, and let B be an \(n \times p\) matrix. Show that the equation \(AX = B\) has a unique solution \({A^{ - 1}}B\).
In Exercises 1 and 2, compute each matrix sum or product if it is defined. If an expression is undefined, explain why. Let
\(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}2&0&{ - 1}\\4&{ - 5}&2\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(B = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}7&{ - 5}&1\\1&{ - 4}&{ - 3}\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(C = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&2\\{ - 2}&1\end{aligned}} \right)\), \(D = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}3&5\\{ - 1}&4\end{aligned}} \right)\) and \(E = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{ - 5}\\3\end{aligned}} \right)\)
\(A + 2B\), \(3C - E\), \(CB\), \(EB\).
Suppose Aand Bare \(n \times n\), Bis invertible, and ABis invertible. Show that Ais invertible. (Hint: Let C=AB, and solve this equation for A.)
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\(M = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}1&0&0&0\\3&{ - 1}&0&0\\1&0&{ - 1}&0\\0&1&{ - 3}&1\end{array}} \right]\).
