Let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}3&{ - 6}\\{ - 1}&2\end{aligned}} \right)\). Construct a \({\bf{2}} \times {\bf{2}}\) matrix Bsuch that ABis the zero matrix. Use two different nonzero columns for B.
Use partitioned matrices to prove by induction that the product of two lower triangular matrices is also lower triangular. [Hint: \(A\left( {k + 1} \right) \times \left( {k + 1} \right)\) matrix \({A_1}\) can be written in the form below, where \[a\] is a scalar, v is in \({\mathbb{R}^k}\), and Ais a \(k \times k\) lower triangular matrix. See the study guide for help with induction.]
\({A_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&{{0^T}}\\0&A\end{array}} \right]\).
Prove the Theorem 3(d) i.e., \({\left( {AB} \right)^T} = {B^T}{A^T}\).
(M) Read the documentation for your matrix program, and write the commands that will produce the following matrices (without keying in each entry of the matrix).
Solve the equation \(AB = BC\) for A, assuming that A, B, and C are square and Bis invertible.
