Which of the following matrices are normal? \(A=\left[\begin{array}{rr}3 & -4 \\\ 4 & 3\end{array}\right], B=\left[\begin{array}{rr}1 & -2 \\ 2 & 3\end{array}\right], C=\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\)
A differential equation $$ y^{(n)}+a_{n-1} y^{(n-1)}+\cdots+a_{1} y^{(1)}+a_{0} y=x $$ is called a nonhomogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients if the \(a_{i}\) 's are constant and \(x\) is a function that is not identically zero.(a) Prove that for any \(x \in{C}^{\infty}\) there exists $y \in{C}^{\infty}\( such that \)y$ is a solution to the differential equation. Hint: Use Lemma 1 to Theorem \(2.32\) to show that for any polynomial \(p(t)\), the linear operator $p(\mathrm{D}): \mathrm{C}^{\infty} \rightarrow \mathrm{C}^{\infty}$ is onto. (b) Let \(V\) be the solution space for the homogeneous linear equation $$ y^{(n)}+a_{n-1} y^{(n-1)}+\cdots+a_{1} y^{(1)}+a_{0} y=0 . $$ Prove that if \(z\) is any solution to the associated nonhomogeneous linear differential equation, then the set of all solutions to the nonhomogeneous linear differential equation is $$ \\{z+y: y \in \mathrm{V}\\} . $$
Pendular Motion. It is well known that the motion of a pendulum is approximated by the differential equation $$ \theta^{\prime \prime}+\frac{g}{l} \theta=0, $$where \(\theta(t)\) is the angle in radians that the pendulum makes with a vertical line at time \(t\) (see Figure 2.8), interpreted so that \(\theta\) is positive if the pendulum is to the right and negative if the pendulum is to the left of the vertical line as viewed by the reader. Here \(l\) is the length of the pendulum and \(g\) is the magnitude of acceleration due to gravity. The variable \(t\) and constants \(l\) and \(g\) must be in compatible units (e.g., \(t\) in seconds, \(l\) in meters, and \(g\) in meters per second per second). (a) Express an arbitrary solution to this equation as a linear combination of two real-valued solutions. (b) Find the unique solution to the equation that satisfies the conditions $$ \theta(0)=\theta_{0}>0 \text { and } \theta^{\prime}(0)=0 \text {. } $$ (The significance of these conditions is that at time \(t=0\) the pendulum is released from a position displaced from the vertical by \(\theta_{0}\).) (c) Prove that it takes \(2 \pi \sqrt{l / g}\) units of time for the pendulum to make one circuit back and forth. (This time is called the period of the pendulum.)
For each matrix \(A\) and ordered basis \(\beta\), find \(\left[\mathrm{L}_{A}\right]_{\beta}\). Also, find an invertible matrix \(Q\) such that \(\left[\mathrm{L}_{A}\right]_{\beta}=Q^{-1} A Q\). (a) \(A=\left(\begin{array}{ll}1 & 3 \\ 1 & 1\end{array}\right)\) and $\beta=\left\\{\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 2\end{array}\right)\right\\}$ (b) \(A=\left(\begin{array}{ll}1 & 2 \\ 2 & 1\end{array}\right)\) and $\beta=\left\\{\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{r}1 \\ -1\end{array}\right)\right\\}$ (c) $A=\left(\begin{array}{rrr}1 & 1 & -1 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 0\end{array}\right) \quad\( and \)\quad \beta=\left\\{\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\\ 1 \\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 0 \\\ 1\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 1 \\\ 2\end{array}\right)\right\\}$ (d) $A=\left(\begin{array}{rrr}13 & 1 & 4 \\ 1 & 13 & 4 \\ 4 & 4 & 10\end{array}\right)\( and \)\beta=\left\\{\left(\begin{array}{r}1 \\ 1 \\\ -2\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{r}1 \\ -1 \\\ 0\end{array}\right),\left(\begin{array}{l}1 \\ 1 \\\ 1\end{array}\right)\right\\}$
Let \(c_{0}, c_{1}, \ldots, c_{n}\) be distinct scalars from an infinite field \(F\). Define \(\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{P}_{n}(F) \rightarrow \mathrm{F}^{n+1}\) by $\mathrm{T}(f)=\left(f\left(c_{0}\right), f\left(c_{1}\right), \ldots, f\left(c_{n}\right)\right)\(. Prove that \)\mathrm{T}$ is an isomorphism. Hint: Use the Lagrange polynomials associated with \(c_{0}, c_{1}, \ldots, c_{n}\).
