Chapter 2: Q26Q (page 93)
Explain why the columns of \({A^{\bf{2}}}\) span \({\mathbb{R}^n}\) whenever the columns of Aare linearly independent.
Short Answer
The columns of \({A^2}\) are invertible, and they span \({\mathbb{R}^n}\).

Find the inverse of the matrix \(\left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}{\bf{3}}&{ - {\bf{4}}}\\{\bf{7}}&{ - {\bf{8}}}\end{aligned}} \right)\).
Let \(A = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}1&1&1\\1&2&3\\1&4&5\end{aligned}} \right)\), and \(D = \left( {\begin{aligned}{*{20}{c}}2&0&0\\0&3&0\\0&0&5\end{aligned}} \right)\). Compute \(AD\) and \(DA\). Explain how the columns or rows of A change when A is multiplied by D on the right or on the left. Find a \(3 \times 3\) matrix B, not the identity matrix or the zero matrix, such that \(AB = BA\).
(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).
When a deep space probe launched, corrections may be necessary to place the probe on a precisely calculated trajectory. Radio elementary provides a stream of vectors, \({{\bf{x}}_{\bf{1}}},....,{{\bf{x}}_k}\), giving information at different times about how the probe’s position compares with its planned trajectory. Let \({X_k}\) be the matrix \(\left[ {{x_{\bf{1}}}.....{x_k}} \right]\). The matrix \({G_k} = {X_k}X_k^T\) is computed as the radar data are analyzed. When \({x_{k + {\bf{1}}}}\) arrives, a new \({G_{k + {\bf{1}}}}\) must be computed. Since the data vector arrive at high speed, the computational burden could be serve. But partitioned matrix multiplication helps tremendously. Compute the column-row expansions of \({G_k}\) and \({G_{k + {\bf{1}}}}\) and describe what must be computed in order to update \({G_k}\) to \({G_{k + {\bf{1}}}}\).
