Liquid benzene burns in the atmosphere. If a cold object is placed directly over the benzene, water will condense on the object and a deposit of soot (carbon) will also form on the object. The chemical equation for this reaction is of the form \\[ x_{1} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{6}+x_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2} \rightarrow x_{3} \mathrm{C}+x_{4} \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \\] Determine values of \(x_{1}, x_{2}, x_{3},\) and \(x_{4}\) to balance the equation.
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 \(A B=B A\)
Let \\[ A=\left(\begin{array}{ll} A_{11} & A_{12} \\ A_{21} & A_{22} \end{array}\right) \\] where \(A_{11}\) is a \(k \times k\) nonsingular matrix. Show that \(A\) can be factored into a product of the form \\[ \left(\begin{array}{cc} I & O \\ B & I \end{array}\right)\left(\begin{array}{cc} A_{11} & A_{12} \\ O & C \end{array}\right) \\] where \\[ B=A_{21} A^{-1}_{11} \quad \text { and } \quad C=A_{22}-A_{21} A^{-1}_{11} A_{12} \\] (Note that this problem gives a block matrix version of the factorization in Exercise 17 of Section 3 .)
If \(A\) and \(B\) are nonsingular matrices, then \((A B)^{T}\) is nonsingular and \\[ \left((A B)^{T}\right)^{-1}=\left(A^{-1}\right)^{T}\left(B^{-1}\right)^{T} \\]
Let \(A=\left(\begin{array}{lll}2 & 1 & 1 \\ 6 & 4 & 5 \\ 4 & 1 & 3\end{array}\right)\) (a) Find elementary matrices \(E_{1}, E_{2}, E_{3}\) such that \\[ E_{3} E_{2} E_{1} A=U \\] where \(U\) is an upper triangular matrix. (b) Determine the inverses of \(E_{1}, E_{2}, E_{3}\) and set \(L=E_{1}^{-1} E_{2}^{-1} E_{3}^{-1} .\) What type of matrix is \(L ?\) Verify that \(A=L U\)
