Find \(2 \times 2\) invertible matrices \(A\) and \(B\) such that \(A+B \neq 0\) and \(A+B\) is not invertible.
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.)
Find the inverses of \(A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & 2 \\ 1 & 2 & 5 \\ 1 & 3 & 7\end{array}\right]\) and \(B=\left[\begin{array}{rrr}1 & -1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & -1 \\ 1 & 3 & -2\end{array}\right] .[\text { Hint: See Problem } 2.19 .]\)
Let \(V\) and \(W\) be vector spaces with subspaces \(V_{1}\) and \(W_{1}\), respectively. If \(\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{V} \rightarrow \mathrm{W}\) is linear, prove that \(\mathrm{T}\left(\mathrm{V}_{1}\right)\) is a subspace of \(\mathrm{W}\) and that $\left\\{x \in \mathrm{V}: \mathrm{T}(x) \in \mathrm{W}_{1}\right\\}\( is a subspace of \)\mathrm{V}$.
Prove the following generalization of Theorem 2.23. Let $\mathrm{T}: \mathrm{V} \rightarrow \mathrm{W}$ be a linear transformation from a finite- dimensional vector space \(V\) to a finite-dimensional vector space W. Let \(\beta\) and \(\beta^{\prime}\) be ordered bases for \(\mathrm{V}\), and let \(\gamma\) and \(\gamma^{\prime}\) be ordered bases for \(\mathrm{W}\). Then $[\mathrm{T}]_{\beta}^{\gamma}^{\prime}=P^{-1}[\mathrm{~T}]_{\beta}^{\gamma} Q\(, where \)Q\( is the matrix that changes \)\beta^{\prime}$-coordinates into \(\beta\)-coordinates and \(P\) is the matrix that changes \(\gamma^{\prime}\)-coordinates into \(\gamma\)-coordinates.
