Let $$\begin{aligned}&A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\\0 & 1\end{array}\right], \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 0 \\\0 & -1\end{array}\right], \quad C=\left[\begin{array}{rr}-1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\\\&D=\left[\begin{array}{rr}-1 & 0 \\\0 & -1\end{array}\right]\end{aligned}$$ Use any three of the matrices to verify a distributive property.
Exercises \(77-79\) will help you prepare for the material covered in the first section of the next chapter. Consider the equation \(\frac{x^{2}}{9}+\frac{y^{2}}{4}-1\) a. Set \(y-0\) and find the \(x\) -intercepts. b. Set \(x-0\) and find the \(y\) -intercepts.
If \(A B=-B A,\) then \(A\) and \(B\) are said to be anticommutative. Are \(A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}0 & -1 \\ 1 & 0\end{array}\right]\) and \(B=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & 0 \\ 0 & -1\end{array}\right]\) anticommutative?
What is a cryptogram?
Determine whether each statement makes sense or does not make sense, and explain your reasoning. Consider a square matrix such that each element that is not on the diagonal from upper left to lower right is zero. Experiment with such matrices (call each matrix \(A\) ) by finding \(A A\). Then write a sentence or two describing a method for multiplying this kind of matrix by itself.
