Question:TRUE OR FALSE?
The matrix product is always a scalar multiple of .
In the financial pages of a newspaper, one can sometimes find a table (or matrix) listing the exchange rates between currencies. In this exercise we will consider a miniature version of such a table, involving only the Canadian dollar and the South African Rand . Consider the matrix
role="math" localid="1659786495324"
representing the fact thatrole="math" localid="1659786520551" is worth role="math" localid="1659786525050" (as of September 2012).
a. After a trip you have and in your pocket. We represent these two values in the vector . Compute . What is the practical significance of the two components of the vector ?
b. Verify that matrix fails to be invertible. For which vectorsis the system consistent? What is the practical significance of your answer? If the system is consistent, how many solutionsare there? Again, what is the practical significance of the answer?
TRUE OR FALSE?
For every transition matrix A there exists a nonzero vector such that.
Some parking meters in downtown Geneva, Switzerland, acceptFranc and Franc coins.
a. A parking officer collects coins worth Francs. How many coins are there of each kind?
b. Find the matrixthat transforms the vector
into the vector
c. Is the matrixin part (b) invertible? If so, find the inverse (use Exercise 13). Use the result to check your answer in part (a).
a. Show that if an invertible matrix A admits an LU-factorization, then it admits an LDU factorization. See Exercise 90 d.
b. Show that if an invertible matrix A admits an L DU-factorization, then this factorization is unique. Hint: Suppose that , then is diagonal (why?). Conclude that .
