Let \(D\) be an \(n \times n\) diagonal matrix whose diagonal entries are either 0 or 1 (a) Show that \(D\) is idempotent. (b) Show that if \(X\) is a nonsingular matrix and \(A=X D X^{-1},\) then \(A\) is idempotent.
Consider a linear system whose augmented matrix is of the form \\[ \left(\begin{array}{rrr|r} 1 & 2 & 1 & 0 \\ 2 & 5 & 3 & 0 \\ -1 & 1 & \beta & 0 \end{array}\right) \\] (a) Is it possible for the system to be inconsistent? Explain. (b) For what values of \(\beta\) will the system have infinitely many solutions?
Let \\[ A=\left(\begin{array}{ll} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{array}\right) \\] Show that if \(d=a_{11} a_{22}-a_{21} a_{12} \neq 0,\) then \\[ A^{-1}=\frac{1}{d}\left(\begin{array}{rr} a_{22} & -a_{12} \\ -a_{21} & a_{11} \end{array}\right) \\]
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 \(V_{5}\).
Explain why each of the following algebraic rules will not work in general when the real numbers \(a\) and \(b\) are replaced by \(n \times n\) matrices \(A\) and \(B\). (a) \((a+b)^{2}=a^{2}+2 a b+b^{2}\) (b) \((a+b)(a-b)=a^{2}-b^{2}\)
