Suppose \(AD = {I_m}\) (the \(m \times m\) identity matrix). Show that for any b in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\), the equation \(A{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} = {\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) has a solution. (Hint: Think about the equation \(AD{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} = {\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \).) Explain why Acannot have more rows than columns.

Short Answer

Expert verified

Amust have at least as many columns as rows because each pivot is in a different row.

Step by step solution

01

Show the equation \(Ax = b\) has a solution

Choose any b in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\). \(ADb = {I_m}b = b\), according to the hypothesis. Rewrite the equation as \(A\left( {D{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} } \right) = {\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \). Therefore, the vector \(x = D{\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) satisfies the equation \(Ax = {\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \). This establishes that the equation \(Ax = {\mathop{\rm b}\nolimits} \) has a solution for each b in \({\mathbb{R}^m}\).

02

Explanation of A cannot have more rows than columns

Theorem 4states that \(A\) be a \(m \times n\) matrix. Then, \(A\) has a pivot position in every row.

Ahas a pivot position in every row according to theorem 4.Thus, Amust have at least as many columns as rows because each pivot is in a different row.

Suppose Tand Ssatisfy the invertibility equations (1) and (2), where T is a linear transformation. Show directly that Sis a linear transformation. [Hint: Given u, v in \({\mathbb{R}^n}\), let \[{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} = S\left( {\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \right),{\mathop{\rm y}\nolimits} = S\left( {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \right)\]. Then \(T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right) = {\mathop{\rm u}\nolimits} \), \[T\left( {\mathop{\rm y}\nolimits} \right) = {\mathop{\rm v}\nolimits} \]. Why? Apply Sto both sides of the equation \(T\left( {\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} \right) + T\left( {\mathop{\rm y}\nolimits} \right) = T\left( {{\mathop{\rm x}\nolimits} + y} \right)\). Also, consider \(T\left( {cx} \right) = cT\left( x \right)\).]

Let Abe an invertible \(n \times n\) matrix, and let B be an \(n \times p\) matrix. Show that the equation \(AX = B\) has a unique solution \({A^{ - 1}}B\).

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.]

\({A_1} = \left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}a&{{0^T}}\\0&A\end{array}} \right]\).

A useful way to test new ideas in matrix algebra, or to make conjectures, is to make calculations with matrices selected at random. Checking a property for a few matrices does not prove that the property holds in general, but it makes the property more believable. Also, if the property is actually false, you may discover this when you make a few calculations.

36. Write the command(s) that will create a \(6 \times 4\) matrix with random entries. In what range of numbers do the entries lie? Tell how to create a \(3 \times 3\) matrix with random integer entries between \( - {\bf{9}}\) and 9. (Hint:If xis a random number such that 0 < x < 1, then \( - 9.5 < 19\left( {x - .5} \right) < 9.5\).

Let Abe an invertible \(n \times n\) matrix, and let \(B\) be an \(n \times p\) matrix. Explain why \({A^{ - 1}}B\) can be computed by row reduction: If\(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}A&B\end{aligned}} \right) \sim ... \sim \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}I&X\end{aligned}} \right)\), then \(X = {A^{ - 1}}B\).

If Ais larger than \(2 \times 2\), then row reduction of \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}A&B\end{aligned}} \right)\) is much faster than computing both \({A^{ - 1}}\) and \({A^{ - 1}}B\).
