Consider an invertible n×nmatrix A. Can you write Aas A=LQ, where Lis a lowertriangular matrix andQis orthogonal? Hint: Consider the QRfactorizationof .
In Exercises 40 through 46, consider vectors in ; we are told thatrole="math" localid="1659495854834" is the entry of matrix A.
46. Find , where V =span role="math" localid="1659495997207" . Express your answer as a linear combination ofrole="math" localid="1659496026018" and .
If A and B are arbitrary matrices, which of the matrices in Exercise 21 through 26 must be symmetric?
.
This exercise shows one way to define the quaternions,discovered in 1843 by the Irish mathematician Sir W.R. Hamilton (1805-1865).Consider the set H of all matrices M of the form
where p,q,r,s are arbitrary real numbers.We can write M more sufficiently in partitioned form as
where A and B are rotation-scaling matrices.
a.Show that H is closed under addition:If M and N are in H then so is
c.Parts (a) and (b) Show that H is a subspace of the linear space .Find a basis of H and thus determine the dimension of H.
d.Show that H is closed under multiplication If M and N are in H then so is MN.
e.Show that if M is in H,then so is .
f.For a matrix M in H compute .
g.Which matrices M in H are invertible.If a matrix M in H is invertible is necessarily in H as well?
h. If M and N are in H,does the equationalways hold?
