Which of the functionsf fromR toR in Exercises 21 through 24 are invertible?21 .
Let in all parts of this problem.
(a) Find the scalar such that the matrixfails to be invertible. There are two solutions; choose one and use it in parts (b) and (c).
(b) For the you choose in part (a), find a non-zero vector such that
role="math" localid="1659697491583"
(c) Note that the equation can be written as.
Check that the equation holds for yourfrom part (a) and yourfrom part (b).
Consider two n x nmatrices A and B whose entries are positive or zero. Suppose that all entries of A are less than or equal to ‘s’, and all column sums of B are less than or equal to ‘r’ (the column sum of a matrix is the sum of all the entries in its column). Show that all entries of the matrix AB are less than or equal to ‘sr’.
