For each of the following parts, determine whether the statement is true or false. Justify your claim with either a proof or a counterexample, whichever is appropriate. (a) Any finite-dimensional subspace of \(C^{\infty}\) is the solution space of a homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients. (b) There exists a homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients whose solution space has the basis \(\left\\{t, t^{2}\right\\}\). (c) For any homogeneous linear differential equation with constant coefficients, if \(x\) is a solution to the equation, so is its derivative \(x^{\prime}\). Given two polynomials \(p(t)\) and \(q(t)\) in \(\mathrm{P}(C)\), if $x \in \mathrm{N}(p(\mathrm{D}))\( and \)y \in\( \)\mathrm{N}(q(\mathrm{D}))$, then (d) \(x+y \in \mathrm{N}(p(\mathrm{D}) q(\mathrm{D}))\). (e) \(x y \in \mathrm{N}(p(\mathrm{D}) q(\mathrm{D}))\).
Find \(x, y, z\) such that \(A\) is symmetric, where (a) \(A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}2 & x & 3 \\ 4 & 5 & y \\ z & 1 & 7\end{array}\right]\) (b) \(A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}7 & -6 & 2 x \\ y & z & -2 \\ x & -2 & 5\end{array}\right]\)
Compute \(A B\) using block multiplication, where $$A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} 1 & 2 & 1 \\ 3 & 4 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 2 \end{array}\right] \quad \text { and } \quad B=\left[\begin{array}{cccc} 1 & 2 & 3 & 1 \\ 4 & 5 & 6 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 & 1 \end{array}\right].$$
Label the following statements as true or false. In each part, \(V\) and \(W\) are finite-dimensional vector spaces (over \(F\) ), and \(\mathrm{T}\) is a function from \(\mathrm{V}\) to \(\mathrm{W}\). (a) If \(\mathrm{T}\) is linear, then \(\mathrm{T}\) preserves sums and scalar products. (b) If \(\mathrm{T}(x+y)=\mathrm{T}(x)+\mathrm{T}(y)\), then \(\mathrm{T}\) is linear. (c) \(\mathrm{T}\) is one-to-one if and only if the only vector \(x\) such that \(\mathrm{T}(x)=0\) is \(x=0\). (d) If \(T\) is linear, then \(T\left(0_{v}\right)=0_{w}\). (e) If \(T\) is linear, then nullity \((T)+\operatorname{rank}(T)=\operatorname{dim}(W)\). (f) If \(\mathrm{T}\) is linear, then \(\mathrm{T}\) carries linearly independent subsets of \(\mathrm{V}\) onto linearly independent subsets of W. (g) If \(\mathrm{T}, \mathrm{U}: \mathrm{V} \rightarrow \mathrm{W}\) are both linear and agree on a basis for \(\mathrm{V}\), then \(T=U\). (h) Given \(x_{1}, x_{2} \in \mathrm{V}\) and \(y_{1}, y_{2} \in \mathrm{W}\), there exists a linear transformation $\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{V} \rightarrow \mathrm{W}\( such that \)\mathrm{T}\left(x_{1}\right)=y_{1}$ and \(\mathrm{T}\left(x_{2}\right)=y_{2}\). For Exercises 2 through 6, prove that \(\mathrm{T}\) is a linear transformation, and find bases for both \(N(T)\) and \(R(T)\). Then compute the nullity and rank of \(T\), and verify the dimension theorem. Finally, use the appropriate theorems in this section to determine whether \(\mathrm{T}\) is one-to-one or onto.
Let \(A\) be invertible. Prove that \(A^{t}\) is invertible and \(\left(A^{t}\right)^{-1}=\left(A^{-1}\right)^{t}\). Visit goo.gl/suFm6V for a solution.
