If A is an matrix, what is the product of its singular values ? State the product in terms of the determinant of A. For a matrix A, explain this result in terms of the image of the unit circle.
Consider the matrix
Where kis a constant?
a. Find a value of ksuch that the matrix A is diagonalizable.
b. Find a value of ksuch that Afails to be diagonalizable.
Consider a singular value decomposition of an matrix Awith . Let be the columns of Vand the columns of U. Without using the results of Chapter 5 , compute . Explain the result in terms of leastsquares approximations.
Consider the quadratic form
.
We define
.
The discriminant D of q is defined as
.
The second derivative test tells us that if D androle="math" localid="1659684555469" are both positive, then
has a minimum at (0, 0). Justify this fact, using the theory developed in this section.
Consider a linear transformation Tfrom to , where . Show that there exist an orthonormal basis of and an orthonormal basis of such that is a scalar multiple of , for i = 1,....m.
Hint: Exercise 19is helpful.
