Problem 8
Decide whether the matrices in Exercises 1 through 15 are invertible. If they are, find the inverse. Do the computations with paper and pencil. Show all your work. $$\left[\begin{array}{lll} 1 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 2 & 3 \\ 1 & 3 & 6 \end{array}\right]$$
Problem 8
Interpret the following linear transformation geometrically: \\[T(\vec{x})=\left[\begin{array}{rr}0 & -1 \\\\-1 & 0\end{array}\right] \vec{x}\\]
Problem 9
Compute matrix products column by column and entry by entry. Interpret matrix multiplication in terms of the underlying linear transformations. Use the rules of matrix algebra. Multiply block matrices. If possible, compute the matrix products using paper and pencil. $$\left[\begin{array}{rr} 1 & 2 \\ 2 & 4 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{rr} -6 & 8 \\ 3 & -4 \end{array}\right]$$
Problem 13
Prove the following facts: a. The \(2 \times 2\) matrix \\[ A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right] \\] is invertible if and only if \(a d-b c \neq 0 .\) Hint: Consider the cases \(a \neq 0\) and \(a=0\) separately b. If \\[ \left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right] \\] is invertible, then \\[ \left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]^{-1}=\frac{1}{a d-b c}\left[\begin{array}{rr} d & -b \\ -c & a \end{array}\right] \\] [The formula in part (b) is worth memorizing.
