Repeat Example 7 with the polynomial \(p(x)=1+x+2 x^{2}+x^{3}\).
Suppose \(A\) and \(B\) are orthogonal matrices. Show that \(A^{T}, A^{-1}, A B\) are also orthogonal.
Let \(B=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 8 & 5 \\ 0 & 9 & 5 \\ 0 & 0 & 4\end{array}\right] .\) Find a triangular matrix \(A\) with positive diagonal entries such that \(A^{2}=B\)
Let \(V\) be a finite-dimensional vector space with the ordered basis \(\beta\). Prove that \(\psi(\beta)=\beta^{* *}\), where \(\psi\) is defined in Theorem \(2.26\).
Let \(V\) be the solution space of an \(n\) th-order homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients. Fix \(t_{0} \in R\), and define a mapping \(\Phi: V \rightarrow \mathrm{C}^{n}\) by $$ \Phi(x)=\left(\begin{array}{c} x\left(t_{0}\right) \\ x^{\prime}\left(t_{0}\right) \\ \vdots \\ x^{(n-1)}\left(t_{0}\right) \end{array}\right) \quad \text { for each } x \in \mathrm{V} . $$ (a) Prove that \(\Phi\) is linear and its null space is the zero subspace of \(\mathrm{V}\). Deduce that \(\Phi\) is an isomorphism. Hint: Use Exercise 14 . (b) Prove the following: For any \(n\) th-order homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients, any \(t_{0} \in R\), and any complex numbers \(c_{0}, c_{1}, \ldots, c_{n-1}\) (not necessarily distinct), there exists exactly one solution, \(x\), to the given differential equation such that \(x\left(t_{0}\right)=c_{0}\) and \(x^{(k)}\left(t_{0}\right)=c_{k}\) for $k=1,2, \ldots, n-1$.
