The property that fails to hold is (u u u. For example if u then u but (u u. ( Let A 2 7 (a Find a basis for the null-space of A. Reduce the augmented matrix A to RREF: 2 7 ( r 2 r r 2 r r r r r 2 4 So the solutions are x x 2 x x 4 x 5 4 4 x + x 5 4x 5 x x 5 ( r 2r r r 2 +r r 2 x ( r r 2 r r +r 2 r 4 + x 5 4 2 4 so { T 4 T } is a basis for the null-space of A. (b Find a basis for the column-space of A. From above the RREF of A has leading ones in columns 2 and 4. Therefore the first second and fourth columns of A form a basis: { T 2 T { T }. (c Find a basis for the row-space of A. From above the three rows of the RREF of A have leading ones so they form a basis for the row-space of A: { 2 4 }. (d What is the rank of A? Explain. rank A since by part (b that is the dimension of the column-space. (or since by part (c that is the dimension of the row-space.
(4 Let L : V W be a linear transformation. (a Prove that L(. L( L( L(. OR: L( L( +( L( + ( L( L( L(. (b Prove that the range of L is a subspace of W. Let w w 2 range L. Then w L(v for some v V and w 2 L(v 2 for some v 2 V. So w + w 2 L(v + L(v 2 L(v + v 2 range L since v + v 2 V. Also let w range L c R then w L(v for some v V so c w c L(v L(c v range L since c v V. Thus the range is closed under addition and under scalar multiplication so it is a subspace. (5 Let V be an inner product space and let u v be vectors in V.

Let u be a nonzero vector in V which is an element of W the orthogonal complement of W in V. Prove that w w 2 u are linearly independent. Supose c w +c 2 w 2 +c u. Then (u c w +c 2 w 2 +c u (u. So c (u w + c 2 (u w 2 + c (u u. But since u W (u w (u w 2 so c (u u and since u this implies c. Therefore c w +c 2 w 2. Since w w 2 are linearly independent this implies c c 2. Thus c c 2 c proving that w w 2 u are linearly independent. (7 Let V P the space of all polynomials of degree. Define an inner product on V by (p(t q(t p(tq(tdt.

Then L(A + A 2 (A + A 2 b A b +A 2 b L(A + L(A 2. Also if A V c R then L(cA (ca b c(a b cl(a. So L is linear. (b Find the representation of L with respect to the standard basis for V : S { and the standard basis for W : T ( L 5 ( L 5 { } ( L ( L So the matrix is 5 5 (9 Let A 2 4 2 2 2 (a Find the eigenvalues of A.

( Let (b For each eigenvalue of A find a corresponding eigenvector. For the eigenvalue λ we find the nullspace of I A: 2 4 2 4 4 2 2 2 2 So x z y z and z is free so T is a corresponding eigenvector. For the eigenvalue λ we find the nullspace of I A: 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 So x 2 z y z and z is free so 2 2T is a corresponding eigenvector. For the eigenvalue λ 2 we find the nullspace of 2I A: 2 2 2 4 2 2 2 So x z y 4 z and z is free so 4 T is a corresponding eigenvector. (c Find the eigenvalues of A 2. If A v λ v then A 2 v A(λ v λ 2 v. Therefore the eigenvalues of A 2 are 2 ( 2 and ( 2 2 4. A 2 5 4 2 5 2 (a Show that the determinant of A is equal to. One option is to make one row-reduction step (r 4 r r 4 and then expand along the first column: det(a det 2 5 4 2 det 4 2 + + ((2 ((4( 2 + 2. (b Use the result of part (a to show that A 2A 2. det(a while det(2a 2 2 4 2 6. So A 2A 2 since their determinants are different. ( Let V P 2 the vector space of all polynomials of degree at most 2. Let S {+t t t 2 } and T { + t + t 2 } be ordered bases for V. Let p(t be a polynomial such that p(t S 2 (a Find p(t p(t ( + t + 2 ( t + t + t 2.
(b Find the transition matrix P T S between S and T. The matrix has columns + t T t T t 2 T. We can find these simultaneously using the row-reduction: Therefore (c Find p(t T 2 P T S p(t T P T S p(t S 2 2 2 2 (2 Let L : V W be a linear transformation with ker L {}. Let v... v n be linearly independent vectors in V. Prove that the vectors L(v... L(v n are also linearly independent. Suppose c L(v +... + c n L(v n. Then L(c v +... + c n v n. So c v +... + c n v n ker L {} and so c v +... c n v n. Since v... v n are linearly independent this implies c... c n. Thus L(v... L(v n are linearly independent. MAKEUP EXAM QUESTIONS: 4(b Prove that the kernel of L is a subspace of W. Let v v 2 ker L. Then L(v + v 2 L(v + L(v 2 + so v + v 2 ker L. Also if v ker L c R then L(c v cl(v so c v ker L. Thus the kernel is closed under addition and under scalar multiplication so it is a subspace. (5 Let V be an inner product space and let u v be vectors in V.

(2 Let L : V W be a linear transformation with range L W. Let v... v n be vectors in V and assume that v... v n are a spanning set for V. Prove that L(v... L(v n are a spanning set for W. Let w W. Then w range L so w L(v for some v V. Since v... v n are a spanning set for V v c v +... c n v n. So w L(v L(c v +... c n v n c L(v +...+c n L(v n so w span{l(v... L(v n }. Thus L(v... L(v n are a spanning set for W.
