An \(m \times n\) upper triangular matrix is one whose enteries below the main diagonal are 0鈥檚 (as in Exercise 8). When is a square upper triangular matrix invertible? Justify your answer.
An upper triangular matrix is invertible as it can be reduced in the echelon form.

[M] Suppose memory or size restrictions prevent your matrix program from working with matrices having more than 32 rows and 32 columns, and suppose some project involves \(50 \times 50\) matrices A and B. Describe the commands or operations of your program that accomplish the following tasks.
a. Compute \(A + B\)
b. Compute \(AB\)
c. Solve \(Ax = b\) for some vector b in \({\mathbb{R}^{50}}\), assuming that \(A\) can be partitioned into a \(2 \times 2\) block matrix \(\left[ {{A_{ij}}} \right]\), with \({A_{11}}\) an invertible \(20 \times 20\) matrix, \({A_{22}}\) an invertible \(30 \times 30\) matrix, and \({A_{12}}\) a zero matrix. [Hint: Describe appropriate smaller systems to solve, without using any matrix inverse.]
Let \(X\) be \(m \times n\) data matrix such that \({X^T}X\) is invertible., and let \(M = {I_m} - X{\left( {{X^T}X} \right)^{ - {\bf{1}}}}{X^T}\). Add a column \({x_{\bf{0}}}\) to the data and form
\(W = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}X&{{x_{\bf{0}}}}\end{array}} \right]\)
Compute \({W^T}W\). The \(\left( {{\bf{1}},{\bf{1}}} \right)\) entry is \({X^T}X\). Show that the Schur complement (Exercise 15) of \({X^T}X\) can be written in the form \({\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}^TM{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}}\). It can be shown that the quantity \({\left( {{\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}^TM{{\bf{x}}_{\bf{0}}}} \right)^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\) is the \(\left( {{\bf{2}},{\bf{2}}} \right)\)-entry in \({\left( {{W^T}W} \right)^{ - {\bf{1}}}}\). This entry has a useful statistical interpretation, under appropriate hypotheses.
In the study of engineering control of physical systems, a standard set of differential equations is transformed by Laplace transforms into the following system of linear equations:
\(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{A - s{I_n}}&B\\C&{{I_m}}\end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{x}}\\{\bf{u}}\end{array}} \right] = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{0}}\\{\bf{y}}\end{array}} \right]\)
Where \(A\) is \(n \times n\), \(B\) is \(n \times m\), \(C\) is \(m \times n\), and \(s\) is a variable. The vector \({\bf{u}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\) is the 鈥渋nput鈥� to the system, \({\bf{y}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\) is the 鈥渙utput鈥� and \({\bf{x}}\) in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) is the 鈥渟tate鈥� vector. (Actually, the vectors \({\bf{x}}\), \({\bf{u}}\) and \({\bf{v}}\) are functions of \(s\), but we suppress this fact because it does not affect the algebraic calculations in Exercises 19 and 20.)
Find the inverse of the matrix \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}&{ - {\bf{4}}}\\{\bf{7}}&{ - {\bf{8}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
Solve the equation \(AB = BC\) for A, assuming that A, B, and C are square and Bis invertible.
Suppose the third column of Bis the sum of the first two columns. What can you say about the third column of AB? Why?
