Show that the definition of a Hermitian matrix can be writtenrole="math" localid="1658814044380" (that is, the diagonal elements are real and the other elements have the property that, etc.). Construct an example of a Hermitian matrix.
In Problems 8 to 15,use to show that the given functions are linearly independent.
15.
Evaluate the determinants in Problems 1 to 6 by the methods shown in Example 4. Remember that the reason for doing this is not just to get the answer (your computer can give you that) but to learn how to manipulate determinants correctly. Check your answers by computer.
Let each of the following represent an active transformation of the vectors in ( x ,y )plane (axes fixed, vector rotated or reflected as in Example 3, show that each matrix is orthogonal, find its determinant and find its rotation angle, or find the line of reflectionthe
The Caley-Hamilton theorem states that "A matrix satisfies its own characteristic equation." Verify this theorem for the matrix in equation (11.1). Hint: Substitute the matrixforrole="math" localid="1658822242352" in the characteristic equation (11.4) and verify that you have a correct matrix equation. Further hint: Don't do all the arithmetic. Use (11.36) to write the left side of your equation asand show that the parenthesis. Remember that, by definition, the eigenvalues satisfy the characteristic equation.
