Consider the matrix \\[ A=\left(\begin{array}{lllll} 0 & 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 1 & 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 & 1 & 1 & 0 \end{array}\right) \\] (a) Draw a graph that has \(A\) as its adjacency matrix. Be sure to label the vertices of the graph. (b) By inspecting the graph, determine the number of walks of length 2 from \(V_{2}\) to \(V_{3}\) and from \(V_{2}\) to \(V_{5}\) (c) Compute the second row of \(A^{3},\) and use it to determine the number of walks of length 3 from \(V_{2}\) to \(V_{3}\) and from \(V_{2}\) to \(V_{5}\).
Given the linear systems $$\begin{aligned} &\text { (a) } \quad x_{1}+2 x_{2}+x_{3}=2\\\ &\begin{array}{l} -x_{1}-x_{2}+2 x_{3}=3 \\ 2 x_{1}+3 x_{2}=0 \end{array} \end{aligned}$$ $$\begin{aligned} &\text { (b) } \quad x_{1}+2 x_{2}+x_{3}=-1\\\ &\begin{array}{l} -x_{1}-x_{2}+2 x_{3}=2 \\ 2 x_{1}+3 x_{2}=-2 \end{array} \end{aligned}$$ solve both systems by computing the row echelon form of an augmented matrix \((A | B)\) and performing back substitution twice.
In general, matrix multiplication is not commutative (i.e., \(A B \neq B A\) ). However, in certain special cases the commutative property does hold. Show that (a) if \(D_{1}\) and \(D_{2}\) are \(n \times n\) diagonal matrices, then \(D_{1} D_{2}=D_{2} D_{1}\) (b) if \(A\) is an \(n \times n\) matrix and $$B=a_{0} I+a_{1} A+a_{2} A^{2}+\cdots+a_{k} A^{k}$$ where \(a_{0}, a_{1}, \ldots, a_{k}\) are scalars, then \(A B=B A\)
An \(n \times n\) matrix \(A\) is said to be an involution if \(A^{2}=I .\) Show that if \(G\) is any matrix of the form \\[ G=\left(\begin{array}{rr} \cos \theta & \sin \theta \\ \sin \theta & -\cos \theta \end{array}\right) \\] then \(G\) is an involution.
For each of the pairs of matrices that follow, determine whether it is possible to multiply the first matrix times the second. If it is possible, perform the multiplication. (a) \(\left[\begin{array}{rrr}3 & 5 & 1 \\ -2 & 0 & 2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll}2 & 1 \\ 1 & 3 \\ 4 & 1\end{array}\right]\) (b) \(\left[\begin{array}{cc}4 & -2 \\ 6 & -4 \\ 8 & -6\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 2 & 3\end{array}\right]\) (c) \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 4 & 3 \\ 0 & 1 & 4 \\ 0 & 0 & 2\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & 2 \\ 1 & 1 \\ 4 & 5\end{array}\right]\) (d) \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}4 & 6 \\ 2 & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 & 1 & 5 \\ 4 & 1 & 6\end{array}\right]\) (e) \(\left[\begin{array}{lll}4 & 6 & 1 \\ 2 & 1 & 1\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{lll}3 & 1 & 5 \\ 4 & 1 & 6\end{array}\right]\) (f) \(\left[\begin{array}{r}2 \\ -1 \\\ 3\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{llll}3 & 2 & 4 & 5\end{array}\right]\)
