9. (a)
The solution set of the equation 7x - 5y = 3 can be described parametrically by (for example)
solving the equation for x in terms of y and then making y into a parameter. This leads to
x == 3'*:,5t, y = t , where -oo < t < oo.
(b ) The solution set of 3x 1 - 5xz + 4x3 = 7 can be described by solving the equation for x1 in
terms of xz and x 3 , then making Xz and x 3 into parameters. This leads to x 1 = I..t 5;-<~ t,

(c)
The solution set of - 8x 1 + 2x 2 - 5x 3 + 6x 4 = 1 can be described by (for example) solving
the equation for x 2 in t.erms of x 1 , x;~, and x 4 , then making x 1 , x3, and x 4 into parameters.
This leads to :t 1 = r, x 2 = l±Brt5 s - 6 t, X3 = s, X4 = t, where -<Xl < r, s, t < oo.
(d) The solution set of 3v- Bw + 2x- y + 4z = 0 can be described by (for example) solving
the equation for y in terms of the other variables, and then making those variables into
parameters. This leads to v = t1, w = t2, x = t3, y = 3tl - 8t2 + Zt3 + 4t4, z t4, where

If the solution set is described by the equations x = 5 + 2t, y = t , then on replacing t by y in
t he first equation we have x = 5 + 2y or x- 2y = 5. This is a linear equation with the given
solution set.
(b) The solution set ca.n also be described by solving the equation for y in terms of x. and then

(b) The solution set can also be described by solving the equation for X2 in terms of x 1 , and then
making x 1 into a parameter. This leads to the equations x 1 = t, x 2 = 2t + 6.

equations for x and y in terms of z, then making z into a parameter:

14. We can find parametric equations for the line of intersection by (for example) solving the given

15. If k :fi 6, then the equations x- y = 3, 2x - 2y = k represent nonintersecting parallel lines and so
the system of equations has no solution. If k = 6, the two lines coincide and so there are infinitely
many solutions: x = 3 + t, y = t, where -oo < t < oo.

DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
Dl.
(a) There is no comm on intersection point.
(b) There is exactly one common point of intersection.
(c) T he three lines coincide.
D2. A consistent system has at least one solution; moreover, it either has exactly one solution or it
has infinitely many solutions.
If the system has exactly one solution, then there are two possibilities. If the three lines are
all distinct but have a. common point of intersECtion, then any one of the three equations can be
discarded without altering the solution set. On the other hand, if two of the lines coincide, then
one of the corresponding equations can be discarded without altering the solution set.
If the system has infinitely many solutions, then the three lines coincide. In this case any one
(in fact any two) of the equations can be discarded without altering the solution set.
D3. Yes. If B can be obtained from A by multiplying a row by a. nonzero constant, then A can be
obtained from B by multiplying the same row by the reciprocal of that constant. If B can be
obtained from A by interchanging two rows, then A can be obtained from B by interchanging the
same two rows. Finally, if B can be obtained from A by adding a multiple of a row to another
row, then A can be obtained from B by subtracting the same multiple of that row from the other
row.
D4. If k = l = m = 0, then x = y = 0 is a solution of all three equations and so the system is consistent.
If the system has exactly one solution then the three lines intersect at the origin.
05. The parabolay = ax2 + bx + c will pass through the points {1, 1), (2, 4), and (-1, 1) if and only if
a+ b+c=l
4a + 2b + c = 4
a-
b+c=I
Since there is a unique parabola passing through any three non-collinear points, one would expect
this system to ba.ve exactly one·solution.
Discussion and Discovery
D6. The parabola y == ax 2
27
+ bx + c passes through the points (x1, Yt), (xz, Y2), a.nd (x3, Ys) if and only
if
ax~
+ b~1 + c = Yl
4ax~ + Zbx2 + c = Y2
ax~ -
bxs
+ c = Y3
i.e. if and only if a, b, and c satisfy the linear sy5tem whose augmented matrix is

D7. To say that the equations have the same solution set is the same thing as to say that they represent
the same line. From the first equation the x 1-intercept of the line is x1 = c, and from the second
equation the x 1 -intercept is x 1 = d; thus c = d. If the line is vertical then k = l = 0. If the line
is not vertical then from the first equation the slope is m =
and from the second equation the
slope ism=
thus k = l. In summary, we conclude that c = d and k = .l; thus the two equations
are identicaL

t,
~ 2 columns, then the first n- 1 columns correspond to the coefficients
of the variables that appear in the equations ar1d the last column corresponds to the constants
that appear on the right-hand side of the equal sign.
{b) False. Referring to Example 6: The sequen_c~ of linear systems appearing in the left-hand
column all have the same solution set, but the corresponding augmented matrices appearing
in the right-hand column are all different .
·
(c) False. Multiplying a row of the augmented matrix by zero corresponds to multiplying··both
sides of the corresponciing equation by zero. But this is equivalent to discarding one of the
equations!
(a) True. If there are n
(d) True. If the system is consistent, one can solve for two of the variables in terms of the third
or (if further redundancy is present) for one of the variables in terms of the other two. ln any
case, there is at lca.c:;t one "free" variable that ca.n be made into a parameter in describing
the solution set of the system. Thus if the system is consistent, it will have infinitely many
solutions.
D9.
(a)
True. A plane in 3-space corresponds to a linear equation in three variables. Thus a set of
four planes corresponds to a system of four linear equations in three variables. If there is
enough redundancy in the equations so that the system reduces to a system of two independent equations, then the solution set will be a line. For example, four vertical planes each
containing the z-axis and intersecting the xy-plane in four distinct lines.
( b) False. Interchanging the first two columns corresponds to interchanging the coefficients of
the first two variables. This results in a different system with a differeut solution set. [It
is oka.y to interchange rows since this corresponds to interchanging equations and therefore
does not alter the solution set.]
(c) False. If there Is enough redundancy so that the system reduces to a system of only two
(or fewer) equations, and if these equations are consistent, then the original system will be
consistent.
(d) True. Such a system will always have the trivial solution x 1
= x2 =

= Xn = 0.

D4. The first system may be inconsistent, but the second system always has (at least) the trivial
solution. If the first sy~ tem is consistent then the solution sets will be parallel objects (points,
lines, or the entire plane) with the second containing Lhe origin.

(b) At most five (if B is the zero matrix) . If B is not the zero matrix, then there are at most 4

nor[~ ~J·
(b) False. The reduce<l row echelon form of a. matrix is unique.
(c) False. The appea rance of a row of zeros means that there was some redundancy in the
system. But the remaining equations may be inconsistent, have exM:tly one solution, or have
infinitely many solutions. All of these are possible.
(d) False. ·There may be redundancy in the system. For example, the system consisting of the
equations x + y = 1, 2x + 2y = 2, and 3x + 3y = 3 has infinitely many solutions.
D9. The system is linear in the variables x = sina, y = cos/3, z = tan 7, and this system has only the
trivial solution x = y = z = 0. Thus sin a = 0, cos/3 = 0, tan-y = 0. It follows that a= 0, 11', or
·2rr; /3 = ~ or 3; ; and 1 = 0, rr, or 21r. There are eighteen possible combinations in all. This does
not contradict Theorem 2.1.1 since the equations are not linear in the variables a, f3t 'Y·
WORKING WITH PROOFS
Pl.

If a = 0, then b =I 0 and c =f 0, so the reduction can be carried out as follows:

Matrices and Matrix Algebra
EXERCISE SET 3.1
1. Since two matrices are equal if and only if their corresponding entries are equal, we have a - b = 8,
b + a = 1, 3d+ c = 7, and 2d- c = 6. Adding the first two equation s we see that 2a = 9; thus
a = ~ and it follows that b = 1 - a = - ~. Adding the second two equat!ons we see that 5d = 13;
thus d = 1 and c = 7 - 3d = - ~.
i
=
2 . For the two matrices to be equal, we must have a= 4, d- 2c = 3, d + 2c - 1, and a+ b = -2.
From the firs t and fourth equations, we see immediately that a= 4 and b = - 2- a= -6. Adding
the second a.nd third equations we see that 2d = 2; thus d = 1 and c = - l2-d = - 1.

25. Let F = (C(DE}. Then, from Theorem 3.1.7, the entry in the ith row and jth column ofF is
the dot product of the ith row of C and the jth column of DE. Thus (F)23 can be computed as
follows:
27. Suppose tha t A is-m x nand B is r x s. If AB is defined, then n = r . On the other hand, if BA
is defined, then s = m . T hus A is m x n and B is n x m. It follows that AB is m x m and BA is
n xn.
28. Suppose that A is m x n and B is r x s. If BA is defined, then s = m a.nd BA is r x n. If, in
addition, A(BA) is defined, then n = r . Thus B is ann x m matrix.
29.
(a) If the i th row of A is a row of zeros, then (using the row rule) r i{AB) = ri(A )B = OB = 0
and so the ith row of AB is a row of zeros.
(b) If the jth column of B is a column of zeros, then (us ing the column rule) c_i(AB) = Ac; (B) =
A O = 0 and so the jth column of AB is a column of zeros.

09. (a ) False. For example, if A is 2 x 3 and B is 3 x 2, then AB and BA are both defined.

A is invertible with A - I = A 2 .

(a) False. (AB) 2 = (AB)(AB) = A(BA)B. If A and B commute then (AB) 2 = A2 B 2 , but if
B A ¥: AB then this _will not in general be true.
(b) True.
Expanding both expressions, we ha.ve (A - B)'J. = A 2 - AB-BA + B 2 and
(B- A)Z = 8 2 - BA - AB + A2 ; thus {A- B) 2 = (B- A) 2 •
(c) True. The basic fact (from Theorem 3.2.11) is that (AT)- 1 = (A- 1 )7', and fr0m this it
follows that (A - n)T = ({A") - 1 )T = {(A")T)- 1 = ((AT)n)-1 = (AT) - n.
(d) False. For example, if A=

(a)
(~ ~)
and B =
G ~J
then u (AB)
= tr ([~ ~J)
= 3, whereas
tr(A)tr(B) = (2)(2) = 4.
False. For example, if B = -·A then A+ B = 0 is not invertible (whether A is invertible or
not).
If A is invertible, then the system Ax= b has a. unique solution for every vector b in

Working with Proofs
WORKJNG WITH PROOFS
Pl. We proceed as in the proof of part (b) given in the text. It is clear that the matrices (ab)A and
a(bA) ha.ve the same size. The following shows tha t corresponding entries are equal:
P2. 'The following shows that corresponding entries on the two sides are equal:
P3. The argument that the matrices A(B- C) and AB- AC must have the same size is the sa.rne as
in the proof of part (b) given in t he text. T he following shows that corresponding column vectors
are equal:
cjiA( B - C)J = Acj(B- C) = A(cj(B)- Cj(C))
= Ac1 ( B)- Aci (C )
= Cj (AB)- c1 (AC) =
cj (AB - AC )
P1 . T h('.se t.hree rn<\t r ices clel\rly ha.ve t he same s ize. The following shows t ha t corresponding column
vectors are equal:
= (aB)cj(C) = c; [(aB)CJ
a(Bc;(C)) = B(acj(C)) = B(cj (aG)) = C j [B(aC)]
cj ja(BC)] = ac1 (BC) = a(Bc1 (C))
Cj!a(BC )J
= acj ( BC) =
P5. If cA = 0 a.nd c :;f 0 then, using Theorem 3.2.l(c)), we have A
= 1A =
((
Dc) A = ~ (cA) =
~ 0 = 0.
P6 . (a) Tf A is invertible, then AA- 1 =I and A - 1 A = ! ; thus A- 1 is invertible and (A- 1 ) - 1 =A
(b ) . If A is invertible t hen, from Theorem 3.2.8, A 2 is invertible and (A2 ) - l = A- 1 A - 1 = (A- 1 ) 2 .
It t hen follows that A 3 is invertible and (A 3 ) · · l = (A2 ) - 1 A- 1 = (A .. 1 ) 2 A- 1 = {A- 1 ) 3 , et c.
In general, from the remark following T heorem 3.2.8, (An ) - 1 = A- 1 • • -A- 1 A - 1 = (A- 1 )n.

Multiply t he fi rst equation by d , multiply t he second equat ion by b, and subtract . This Jea.ds
to
(da - bc)e =- d
74
Chapter3
and from this we conclude that d = 0 is a necessary condition in order for the system to be
consistent. It then follows (since ad- be = 0} that be= 0 and so either b = 0 or c = 0. Let
us assume that b = 0 (the case c = 0 can be handled similarly). Then the equations reduce
to
ae
= 1
ce
= 0
af = 0
cf = 1
and these equations are easily seen to be inconsistent. Why? From ae = 1 we conclude
that e f. 0; and from ce = 0 we conclude that c = 0 or e = 0. From this it follows that c
must be equal to 0. But this is inconsistent with c/ = 1! ln summary, we have shown that
if ad- be = 0, then the system of equations has no solution and so the matrix. A is not
invertible.

and adding b times t he second row to the third raw. If either a = 0 or b = 0 (or both) the result
is an elementary matrix. On the other hand, if a =I= 0 and b =I= 0, the result is not a.n elementary
matrix since two elementary row operations are required to produce it. Thus A is elen,enta.ry if
and only if ab = 0.
DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
Dl. Suppose the matrix A can be reduced to the identity matrix by a known sequence of elementary
row operations, and let E 1 , E 2 , ...• Ek be the corresponding sequence o£ elementary matrices.
Then we have Ek · ··E2 EtA =I, and so A= E;- 1 E2 1 · · ·Ej; 1 l. Thus we can find A by applying
the inverse row operations to I in the reverse order.
D2. There i.'J not. For example, let b = 1 and a"" c = d = 0. Then
A[~ ~] = (~ :::]=I=[~ ~]·
D3. There is no nontrivial solution. From the last equation we ste. that x 4 = 0 and, from back substitution , it follows immediately that x 3 = x'2 = x 1 = 0 also. The coefficient matrix is invertible.

True. If r1. is invt!rtible then the homogeneous system Ax = 0 has only the trivial solution;
otherwise (if A is singular) there are infinitely many solutions.
All of these s tatements arc true.
No. An iuvertible matrix cannot have a row of zeros. Thus, for A to be invertible we must have
=I= 0. But (assuming this) if we add -d/a times row 1 to row 3, and add -e/h times
row 5 to row 3; we have a matrix with a row of zeros in the third row.

WORKlNG WITH PROOFS
Pl. If AB is invertible then, by Theorem 3.3.8, both A and B a.re invertible. Thus, if either A orB is
singular, then the product AB must be singular.
P2. Suppose that A = BC where B is invertible, and that B is reduced to I by a sequence of elementary
row operations corresponding to the elementary matrices E 1 , E2, .. . , Ek · Then I= Ek · · · EzE1B,
and so B - 1 = Ek · · · EzE1. From this it follows that Ek · · · E2E1 A == E,.. · · · E2BC = C; thus the
same sequence of r{)w operations will reduce A to C.

P3. Suppose Ax= 0 iff x = 0. We wish to prove that, for any positive integer k, Akx = 0 iff x = 0.
Our proof is by induction on the exponent k.
Step 1. If k = 1, then A 1x =Ax= 0 iff x
= 0. Thus the statement is true fork=
1.
Step 2 (induction step): Suppose the statement is true fork= j, where j is any fixed integer 2:: 1.
Then A1+1 x =A) (Ax) """' 0 iff Ax= 0, and this is true iff x = 0. This shows that if the statement
is true fork= j it is also true for k = j + 1.
•..
These two steps complete the proof by induction.
P4. From Theorem 3.3.7, the system Ax= 0 has only the trivial solution if and only if A is invertible.
But, since B is invertible, A is invertible iff B A is invertible. Thus Ax = 0 has only the trivial
solution iff (BA)x = 0 has only the trivial solution.
P 5. Let e1, ez, .. . , em be the standard unit vectors in Rm. Note that ell e2, ... , em are the rows of
the identity matrix I= lm. Thus, for any m x n matrix A, we have
for i = l, 2, ... , m. Suppose now that E is a.n elementary matrix that is obtained by performing a
single elementary row operation on I. \Ve consider the three types of row operations separately.
Row Interchange. Suppose E is obtained from I by interchanging rows i and j. Then
r1(EA) = fi(E)A = eiA = ri(A)
ri(EA) = rj(E)A
=
e;A = ri(A)
and rk(EA) = rk(E)A = c~eA = rk(A) fork =J: i,j. Thus EA is the matrix that is obtained from
A by interchanging rows i a.nd j.
Row Scaling. Suppose E is obtained from I by multiplying row i by a nonzero scalar c. Then
and rk(EA) = r,(E)A = ekA = rk(A) for all k
A by multiplying row i by the scalar c.
=I= i.
Thus EA is the matrix that is obtained from
Row Replacement. Suppose E is obtained from I by adding c times row ito row j (i :f.=j). Then
ri(EA) == rj(E)A

Suppose S = { v 1 , v:~, v 3 } is a. linearly independent set. Note first that none of these vectors
can be equal to 0 (otherwise S would be linearl y dependent). and so each of the sets {v1 },
{v 2}, and {v 3} is linearly independent . Suppose then that Tis a 2-element subset of S,
e.g. T = {v 1 , v:~} . II T is linearly dependent then there are scalars c1 and c2 , not both
zero, such that c1 v 1 + c 2v z = 0 . But, if this were true, then c1 V t + c2v 2 + Ovs = 0 would
be a nontrivial linear relationship among the vectors v'h v2 , v 3, and so S would-.be linearly

u · w = u · (lu + kv)
X belongs to WIn w2 and k is a scalar, then kx also belongs to Wt n wl since both Wt and

P3. First we show t hat ·w1 + W 2 is closed under scalar multiplication: Suppose z = x + y where xis in
W1 andy is in W2. Then, for any scalar k , we have kz = k(x + y) = kx + ky, where kx is in W1
and ky is in W:~ (since w, and w2 are subspaces); thus kz IS in w} + w2. Finally we show that
WI + w2 is closed under addition: Suppose Z l =X) + Yl and Z 2 = X 2 + Y2 o where X) and X2 are
in W1 and Y• and Y2 are in W2 . Then z 1 + Z2 == (x1 + y, ) + (x2 + Yz) = (x1 + x2) + (Yl + Y2) .
where X } + X2 is in lt\ and Yl + Y2 is in w2 (since WI and w2 ar~ subspaces); thus Zl + Z2 is in

DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
Dl. The solution set of Ax = b is a. translated subspace x 0
+ W , where W
is the solution space of
Ax= 0 .
D2. If vis orthogon al to every row of A, t hen ilv = 0 , and so (since A is invertible) v = 0 .
D3. T he general solution will have at least 3 free variables. Thus, assuming A i: 0, the solution space
will be of dimension 3, 4, 5, or 6 depending on how much redunda.ocy there is.
D4.
(a) True. The solution set of Ax= b is of the form x 0 + W where W is the solution space of
Ax = O.
0
(b) False. For example, the system :r - Y = is inconsistent, but the associated homogeneous
x-y=l
system has infinitely many solutions.
(c) True. Each hyperplane corresponds to a single homogeneous linear equation in four variables,
and there must be a least four equations in order to have a unique solution.
(d) 'Tme . Every pla ne in R3 corrr.:>ponrls to a equation of the form ax + by + cz = d.
(e) False. A vector x is orthogonal to row(A) if and only if x is a solution of the homogenous
system Ax = 0.
WORKING WITH PROOFS
P 1. Suppose that Ax = 0 has only the trivia.l ·s~lution and t hat Ax = b is consistent. If Xt and Xz
are t wo solutions of Ax= b , then A(x 1 - x 1 ) = Ax 1 - Axz = b - b = 0 anti so Xt - x z = 0 , i.e.
x 1 = xz . Thus, if Ax= 0 has only the t rivial solution, t he system Ax = b is either inconsistent
or has exactly one solution.
PZ . Suppose that Ax = 0 has infinitely many solutions and that Ax= b is consistent. Let Xo be
any solution of Ax = b . Then, for any solution w of Ax= 0 , we have A(xo + w) = A.xo + Aw =
b + 0 = b . Thus, if Ax = 0 has infinitely many solutions, the system Ax = b is either inconsistent
or ha.<> infinitely many solutions. Conversely, if Ax= b has at. most. one solution, then Ax= 0 has
only t.he trivial solution.
P3. If x 1 is<:\ solution of Ax = band x2 is a solution of Ax = c, then A(x, + x2) = Ax1 + Axz = b + c;
i.e. x 1 + X2 is a solution of Ax= h +c. Thus if Ax= band Ax ;= care consistent systems, then
Ax = b + c is also consistent. This argument c2-n easily be adapted to prove the following:
Theorem. If Ax = bi is consistent for each j
Ax = b is also consistent.
P4 . Since (ka) · x = k(a · x) and k
that. (ka)..L

=
= 1, 2, ... , r
and if b = b 1
f. 0, it follows that (ka) · x = 0 if and only

if a· x = 0. This proves

In a symmetric matrix, enlries that are symmetr ically positioned across the main diagonal are
equal to each other. Thus a symmetric matrix is completely determined by the entries that lie on
or above the main rliagonal, and entries t hat. appear below the main diagonal a.re duplicates of
entries that appear above the main diagonal. Au n x n matrix has n entriP.s on the main diagonal ,
n - l entries on the diagonal just above the maiu diagonal, etc . Thus there are a total of
n
+ (n- 1) + · · · + 2 + 1 = n(n 2+ 1)
entries lhat lie on or above the main diagonal. For a ;;ymmet.ric matrix, t his is the maximum
number of distinct entries the matrix can have.
In a skew-symmetric matrix, the diagonal entries are 0 and entries t hat are symmetrically positioned ac:ross the main diagonal arc the negatives of each other. The maximum nwnber of distinct
entries can be attained by selecting distinct positive entries for the n(~- l) p,.,sit.ions above the 1.0ain
diagonal The entries in the n(n2- 11 positions below the main diagonal will then automatically be
distinct from each other and from the entries on or above the main diagonal. Thus the maximum
number of distinct entries in a skew-symmetric matrix is

P 4. We will show t hat if A is symmetric (i.e. if AT == A), then ( An)T = A 11 for each positive integer .
n. Our proof is by induction on the exponent n .
Step L Since A is symmetric, we have (A 1) T == A'~' = A = A 1 ; thus t he statement is true for

Step 2 (induction step). Suppose the statement is true for n = j, where j is

AJ A= AH 1
and so the statement is also true for n = j + I.
These two steps complete the proof by ind uction.
P5. If A is invertible, then Theorem 3.2.11 implies AT is !::1vertible; thus t he products AAT and AT A
are invertible as well. On the other hand, if either A AT or A T A is invertible, then Theorem
3.3.8 implies that A is invertihle. It follows that A , AAT, and AT A are eith~p all invertible or all

Thus, without loss of generality, we may assume that the points do not· lie on a vertical line. In

The latter condition is equivalent

(X2Y3 - X:;Yz) - (XtY3- XJYl)

P2. We wish to pwve that for each positive integer n, t here are n! permutations of a set {it , )2, . .. , j .,.}
of n distinct elements. Our proof is by induction on n .
Step 1. It is clear that there is exactly 1 = 1! permutation of the set {j 1 } . Thus the statement is
true for the case n = 1.
Step 2 (induction srep). Suppose that the statement is true for n = k, where k is a fixed integer
~ 1. Let S = {j1, j2, ... ,jk, )k+I }- Then a permutation of the setS is for med by first choosing
one of k + 1 positions for the element )~;+ 1 , and then choosing a permutation for the remaining
k elements in t he remaining Jc positions. There are k + 1 possib ilities for the first choice and , by
the hypothesis, k! possibilities for the second choice . Thus there are a. total of (k + l )k! = (k + 1)!
p~r mutations of S . T his shows that if the statement is true for n = k it must also be true for
n = k + l. These two steps complete the proof by induetion.

D4. For convenience call the given matri'V A n· If n = 2 or 3, then An can be reduced to the identity
matrix by interchanging the first and last rows. Thus det(An) = - 1 if n = 2 or 3. lf ~ = 4 or 5,
then two row interchanges are required to reduce An to the identity (interchange the first and last
rows, then interchange the second and next to last rows). Thus det (An) = +1 if n = 4 or 5. This
pattern continues and can be summarized as follows:
= det(A:~k+l ) = - 1
det(A2k) = det(Azk+t) = +1
det(A2k)
fork = 1,3,5, .. .
fork= 2, 4,6, .. .
DS. If A is skew-symmetric, then det(A) = det(AT) = det(-A) = (-l)ndet(A) where n is the size of
A. It follows that if A is a skew-symmetric matrix of odd order, then det(A) =- det(A) and so
det(A) = 0.
D6. Let A be an n x n matrix, and let B be the matrix that results when the rows of A are written
in reverse order. Then the matrix B can be reduced to A by a series of row interchanges. If
n = 2 or 3, then only one interchange is needed and so det(B) = - det(A). If n = 4 or 5, then two
interchanges are required and so det(B) = +det( A). This pattern continues;

D7. (a) False. For example, if A= I= /2, then det(J +A)= det(2/} = 4, whereas 1 + det{A) = 2.
(b) Thue. F'tom Theorem 4.2.5 it follows that det(A") = (det(A))n for every n = 1, 2, 3, ... .
(c) False. From Theorem 4.2.3(c), we have det(3A) =3n det(A) where n is the size of A. Thus
the: stu.ternent is false except when n = 1 or riet(A) = 0 .
(d) Thue. If det (A) = 0, the matrix is singular and so the system Ax = 0 has infinitely many
solutions.
DB.
(a) True. If A is invertible, then det(A) =F 0. Since det(ABA) = det(A) det(B) det(A) it follows
that if A is invertible and det( ABA) = 0, then det(B) = 0.
(b) 'frue. If A ,.,; A - l , then since det( A - l) = det1(A) , itiollows that {det( A ))2 == 1 and so det (A) =
±1.
(c) True. If the reduced row echelon form of A has a row of zeros, then A is n ot invertible.
(d) 'frue. Since det(A~') = det(A), it follows that det(AAT) = det(A) det(AT) = (det{A)) 2 :?: 0.
(e) True. If det.(A) f 0 then A is invertible, and an invertible matrix can always be written as
a prod uct of elementary matrices.
D9. If A = A 2 , then det(A) = det(A 2 ) = (det(A)) 2 and so det(A) = 0 or det(A) = 1. If A= A3, then
det(A) = det(A 3 ) = (det(A)) 3 and so det(A) = 0 or det(A) = ± 1.
DlO.
Each elementary product of this matrix must include a factor that comes from the 3 x 3 block of
zeros on the upper right. Thus all of the elementary products are zero. It follows that det(A) = 0,
no matter what values are assigned to the starred quantities.
Dll . This permutation of the columns of an n x n matrix A can be attained via a sequence of n- 1
column interchanges which successively move the first column to the right by one position (i.e.
interchange columns 1 and 2, then interchange columns 2 and 3, etc.). Thus the determinant of
the resulting matrix is equal to (-1)"- 1 det(A).

47. Recall that the dot product distributes across addition, i.e. (a+ d )· u =a· u + d · u . Thus, with

We have det(AJ.:) = (det(A))k. Thus if A''-'= 0 for some k, then det{A) = 0 and so A is not invertible.
53.
F:rom Theorem 4.3.9, we know that v x w is orthogonal t.o the plane determined by v and w. Thus
a vector lies in the plane determined by v and w if and only if it is orthogonal to v x w. Therefore,
since u x (v x w) is orthogona.l to v x w, it follows that u x (v x w) lies in the plane determined by
v and w.
>4.
Since (u x v) x w = -w x (u x v), it follows from the previous exercise that (u x v) x w lies in the
plane determined by u and v.
55.
If A is upper triangular, and if j > i, then the submatrix that remains when the ith row and jth
column of A are deleted is upper triangular and has a zero on its main diagonal; thus C;; (the
ijth cofactor of A) must be zero if j > i. It follows that the cofactor matrix C is lower triangular,
and so adj( A) "" or is upper triangular. Thus, if A is invertible and upper triangular. then A_, =
det~A)adj(A) is also upper triangular.
56. If A is lower triangular and invertible, then AT is upper triangular and so (A- 1)T = (A 1'}- 1 is upper
triangular; thus A - I is lower triangular.

DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
Dl.
(a)
The vector w = v x (u x v} is orthogonal to both v and u x v;
thus w is orthogonal to v and lies in the plane determined by
u and •t.
,. ux v
I
I
v
~X(UX>)
(b) Since w is orthogonal to v, we have v • w = 0. On the other hand, u · w = l!ullllwll cos9 =
llullllwll sin(%- B) where() is the angle between u and w. It follows that lu · wl is equal to
the area of the parallelogram having u and v as adjacent edges.
D2.
No. For example, let u
but vi= w.
= (1, 0, 0), v =
= (1, 1, 0).
(0; 1, 0), and w
Then u x v
=ux
w
= (0, 0, 1),
D3. (u · v) x w docs not make sense since the first factor is a scalar rather than a vector.
D4. If either u or v is the zero vector, then u x v = 0. If u and v are nonzero then, from Theorem
4.3.10, we have flux vii= JluiJI!viJsinO where B is the angle between u and v. Thus if u x v = 0,
with u and v not zero, then sin B = 0 and so u and v are parallel.
D5. The associative law of multiplication is not valid for the cross product; that is u x (v x w) is not
in general the same as (u x v) x w. · ·
D6. Let A
= [l -cc
-(l-
c
c)]. Then det(A) = c2 + (1 -

(b) False. In addition, the determinant of the coefficient matrix must be nonzero.
(c) True. In fact we have adj(A) = det(A)A- 1 and so (adj(A))- 1 = det~A)A.

P4. If a, b, c, and d all lie in the same plane, then ax b and c x d are both perpendicular to that

if and o nly if p( 4) = p( - 3) = 0. This leads to the equations

26. The chl'l.r!'l.ctcristic polynomial of A is p(>. ) = (A - 3)(A2 - 2Ax + x 2 - 4). Note that the second factor
in this polynomial cannot. have a double root (for any value of x) since ( -2x) 2 - 4(x 2 - 4) = 16 # 0.
Thus t he o nly possible repeated eigenvalue of A is .>- = 3, and this occurs if and only if .\ = 3 is a
root of t.he second factor of p(A), i.e. if and only if 9-- 6x + x 2 - 4 = 0. The roots of this quadratic
eq uatio n are x = 1 and :t - 5. For t hese values of x, A = 3 is an e igenvalue of multiplicity 2.

Accorrling to Theorern 4.4 .8, the characteristic polynomial of A can be expressed as

DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
Dl. (a) The characteristic polynomial p(.>.) has degree 6; thus A is a 6 x 6 matrix.
(b ) Yes. From Theorem 4.4 .12, we have dct{A ) = {1)(3) 2 (4) 3 = 576 =/: 0; thus A is invertible.
D2. If A is :;quare m n.trix all of whose entries arc the sl:l mc then de t(A)

Thus

l1ave det(A) = (3)(3)( - 2) ( -··2)( -2) = - 72 m1d tr(1t) = 3 + 3 - 2- 2- 2 = 0.

False.

True.
True.
For example, T(x,y} = {x2 ,y2 ) satisfies T(O) =0 but is not linear.
Such a. transformation is both homogeneous and additive.
This is the transformation with standard matrix (T] = -[.
The ·z.cro transformation T(x, ·y) o-:: (0, 0) is the only linear transformation with this
property.
(e)
= v o f. 0.
False. Such a transformation cannot be linear since T(O)
D2. The eigenvalues of A are >.= 1 and .>. = - 1 with corresponding eigenspaces given (respectively)
by
t [~J
and
t[-~], where -oo < t < oo.
D3. From familiar trigonometric identities, we have A =
29 -sin 28] __ R-.·e .
cos

Thus muJtiplication

Thus multipli-
cation by !1.,. corresponJs to rotation t hrough the ang le -0.
D5 . Since T(O) :::: x 0 =f:. 0, this transformation is not linear. Geometrically, it corresponds to a. rotation
followed by a translation.
D6. 1f b = 0, theu
geneous.
f is both addi tive and homogeneous.
If b =f:. 0, then j is neither additive nor homo-
D7 . Since Tis linear, we have T (x 0 +tv) = T(x0 ) + tT(v). Thus, if T(v) =f:. 0, the image of the line
x = x o +tv is the line y = Yo+ tw where y 0 = T (xo) and w = T(v) . lf T(v) = 0 , then the image
of x = xo + tv is the point Yo = T (xo).

DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
01.
(a) True. Any set of more than n vectors in Rn is linearly depe ndent.
(b) True. Any set of less than n vectors cannot be spanning set for Rn.
( c) True. 1f every vector in Rn can be expressed in exactly one way as a linear combina tion of
the vectors in S , then S is a busis for R n and t hus must contain exact ly n vectors.
(d) True. If Ax = 0 Iws infin itely many solutions. then det(A) ::: 0 and so the row vectors of r1
are linearly dependent.
(e) True. If V £:; W (or W ~ V) and if dim( V) = d im ( W), then V = W .
02. No. If s = {vl , Y2, - . . 'Vn} is a linearly dependent set in Rn, then s is not a spanning set for n n;
r.hus it. is not possible to create a basis by formiug linear combinations of the vectors in S .
03. E ach such operat()r corresponds to (and is determined by) a permutation of the vectors in t he
basis B . Thus t here a rc a t.otal of n! s uch operators.
04. Let A be the matrix having the vectors v 1 and
dct (A) ""' (sin 2 o- sin 2 /3)
v2
as its columns. Then
- (cos 2 a - cos2 {3) = - cos 2o + cos 2{3
and det(A) =/= 0 if and only if cos 2a j cos 2/3 , i.e., if and only if o =/= ±/3 + br where k = 0, ± I ,
± 2, .. . . For these values of a and {3, the vectors v 1 and v 2 form a basis for R 2 .
D5. Suppose W is a. s ubspace of Rn and dim( W) = k. If S = {w1 , w2 , .. . ,wj } is a spanning set for
W, then eit her S is a basis for W (in which caseS contains exactly k ve<::tors) or, from Theorem
7.2.2, a. b asis for W can be obtained by removing appropriate vectors from S. Thus the number
of clements in a spanning set must be at least k , and the smallest possible number is k.
WORKING WITH PROOFS
Pl. Let V b e a nonzero subspace uf R" , and let v 1 be a nonzero vector in V. If dim(V) = 1, then
S = {v 1 } is a ba..<;is for V . Otherwise, from Theorem 7.2.2(bJ, a busis for V can be obtained by
adding appropriate vedors from V to the set S.
WORKING WITH PROOFS
203
P2. Let {v1, Vz, ... 1 vn} be a basis for Rn and, fork any integer between 1 and n, let V = spa.n{v1, v2,
• • • 1 vk}· Then S = {vt. v 2, ... , vk} is a basis for V and so dim{V) = k.
The subspace V = {0}
has dimension 0.
·
P3. LetS= {v1o v2, ... , vn}· Since every vector in Rn can be written as a Hnearcombinationofvectors
in S, we have span(S) = Rn. Moreover, from the uniqueness, if Ct v1 + cz v2 + ·· · +env n = 0 then
Ct = Cz =···=en= 0. Thus the vectors Vt. vz, ... , Yn span Rn and are linearly independent, i.e.,
S = {vl, Vz, ... 1 vn} is a basis for Rn.
P4. Since we know that dim(R"} = n, it suffices to show that the vectors T(vt) 1 T(v2), ... ,T(vn) are
)inearly independent. This follows from the fact that if ctT(vl) + CzT(vz) + · · · + c 11T(v,) = 0
then
T{c1v1 + CzVz + · · · + CnVn) = CtT(vt} + CzT(vz) + · · · + CnT(vn) = 0
and so, since Tis one-to-one, we must have c1v1 + czvz + · · · + CnVn = 0. Since VJt v2, ... , Vn are
linearly independent it follows from this that c 1 = c2 = ···=en= 0. Thus T(v1 ), T(vz), ... , T(v,)
are linearly independent.
P 5. Since B = {v 1 , v2, ... , vn} is a basis for R"', every vector x in Rn can he expressed as 1i linear
combination x = c1 v 1 + czv 2 + · · · + c,. Vn for exactly one choice of scalars c 1 , c~h ... , Cn. Thus it
makes sense to define a transformation T: Rn --1 Rn by setting
T(x) = T{ctVl + CzVz
+ ... + CnYn) =clwl + c2w2 + ... + CnWn
n
It is easy to check that Tis linear. For example, if x

T(x + y)

and so T is additive. Finally, the transformation T has the property that Tv; = w; for each
= 1, ... , n, and it is clear from the defining formula that T is uniquely determined by this
property.

P6. (a)
Since { u 1 1 Uz 1 U3} has the correct number of elements, we need only show that the vectors are
linearly independent. Suppose c 1, C:lJ c3 are scalars such that c1u 1 + CzUz + C3U3 = 0. Then
(c1 + Cz + c3)v1 + (cz + c3)v2 + c3v3 = 0 and, since {Yt. Vz, v3} is a linearly independent
set, we must have c 1 + c2 + c3 = c2 + c 3 = c3 = 0. It follows that c 1 = c2 = C3 = 0, and this
shows that Ut, uz, us are linearly independent.
(b) If { v1, v2, ... , Vn} is a basis for R 1", then so is { u 1, u2, ... , un} where
... '
P7. Suppose x is an eigenvector of A. Then x :f. 0, and Ax = >.x for some scalar >.. It follows that
span{x,Ax} = spa.n{x,>.x} = span{x} and so span{x,Ax} has dimension 1.
Conv\...sely, suppose tha.t span{x, Ax} has dimension 1. Then the vectors x f. 0 and Ax are linearly
dependent; thus there exist scaJars CJ a:.d c2 , not both zero, such that c 1 x + c2 Ax = 0. We note
further that c2 =I= 0, for if c2 = 0 then since x =I= 0 we would have c1 = 0 also. Thus Ax = >.x where
>.::;;; -cdc2.
P8. SupposeS= {vt, v2, ... , vk} is a basis for V, where V C Wand dim(V) = dim(W). Then Sis
a linearly independent set in W, and it follows that .~ must be basis for W. Otherwise, from
Theorem 7.2.2, a basis for W could be obtained by adding additional vectors from W to Sand
this would violate the assumption that dim(V) = dim(W). Finally, since S is a. basis for W and
S C V, we must have W = span(S) C V and soW= V.

3. We have u · v 1 = ( -1)(6) + (1)(2) + (0)(7) ·1- (2)(2) = 0. Similarly, u · v 2 = 0 and u · v3 = 0. Thus u
is orthogonal to any linear combination of the vectors v 1 , v 2 , and v 3 , i,e., u bek>,ngs to the orthogonal
complement of W = spa.n{vl> v2, v3}.

4. We have u · v 1 = (0)(4) + (2)(1} + (1)(2) + (-2)(2) = 0, u · v 2 = 0, and u · v 3 = 0. Thus u is orthogonal to any linear combination of the vectors vlt v 2 , and v 3 , i.e., u is in the orthogonal complement

True. This is in fact true for any invertible matrix E. The rows of EA are linear combinations
of t.he rows of A; thus it is always true that row(EA) ~ row(A) . If E i:; invertible, then
A = E- 1 (EA) and so we also have row{A) ~ row(EA).
D3. If null{ A) is the line 3x- 5y

·No, this is not
possible. The row space of an invertible n x n matrix is all of Rn since its rows
form a ba.sis for R ... On the other hancl , the row space of a singular matrix is a proper subspace
of Rn since its rows are linearly dependent and do not s pan all of Rn.
WORKING WITH PROOFS
Pl.
lt is clear, from the definition of row space, that (a) implies (c). Conversely, suppose that (c)
holds. Then, since <::ach row of A is a linear combination of the rows of B, it fo llows that any
li ne..a.r c.ombination of the rows of A can be expressed as a linear combination of the rows of B .
This shows that row(A) ~ row{B), and a si1uilar argument shows that row(B) ~ row(A). Thus
(a) holds.
P2. The row vectors of an invertible matrix are linearly independent and so, since there are exactly n
of them, they form a basis for R" .
P3. If Pis invertible, then (PA)x = P(Ax) = 0 if and only if A x= 0 ; thus the matrices PA and A have
the same null space, and so nullity{PA) = nullity( A). From Theorem 7.3.8, it follows that PA and
A. have also have the same row space. Thus rank(PA) = dim(row(PA)) = dirn(row(A)) =rank( A).
P4.
From T heorem 7.3.4 we have SJ. = span(S)l., and (span(S)J.)..l
subspace. Thus (S l. )l. = (span{S)l. )l. = span(S)

DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
(c)
If A is any square matrix, then I - A fails to be jnvertible if and only if there is a nonzero .vector
x such tha.t (I - A)x = 0; this is equivalent to saying t hat>. = 1 is an eigenvalue of A. Thus if
A ::::: uvT is a nmk 1 r£tatrix for which I - A is invertible, we must have u · v =/= 1 and .4 2 :fA.
DISCUSSION AND DISCOVERY
Dl. (a) True. For example, if A ism x n where m > n (more rows than columns) then the rows of
A form a set of m vectors in Rn and must therefore be linearly dependent. On t.he other
hand, if m < n then the columns of A must be linearly dependent.
(b) False. If the additional row is a linear combination of the existing rows, then the rank will
not be increased .
(c) False. For example, if m = 1 then rank( A)= 1 and nullity( A) = n - 1.
(d) True. s·uch a matrix must have rank less than n; thus nullity(A):::::: n - rank(A) == L
(e) False. U Ax= b is inconsistent for some b then A is not invertible and so Ax = 0 hM
nontrivial solutions; thus nulHty(A) ;::: 1.
(f) 11-uP.. We must have rank(A) + nullity(A) = 3; thus it is not possible to have rank( A) and
nullity(A) both C'qual t.o 1.
D2. If A is m x n, then AT is n x m and so, by Theorem 7.4.1, we have rank(AT) + nullity( AT )= m .
D3. If A is a 3 x 5 matri."<, then the number of leading l's in the reduced row echelon form is at most
3, und (assuming A =/= 0) the number of parameters in a general solution of Ax= 0 is a.t most 4.
D4. If A is a 5 x 3 matrix, thP-n ·rank(A) :::; 3 and so the n umber of leading l's in the red uced rvw
echelon form of A is at most 3. Assuming A =I 0, we have rank(A) :;::: 1 and so the number of free
parameters in a general solution of Ax = 0 is at most 2.
D5. If A is a 3 x 5 matrix, then the possible values for rank(A) are 0 (if A= 0) , 1, 2, or 3, and the
corresponding values for nufHlypt)-m-c-&;-4,·&,-or · ~·: If A is a 5 X 3 matrix, then the possible values
for rank(/\) are 0, 1, 2, or 3, and the corresponding values for nullity(A) are 3, 2, 1, or 0. If A is
a 5 x 5 matrix, then the possible values for rank(A) are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5, and t.he corresponding
values for nullity(A) are 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, or 0.
D6.
Assuming u and v are nonzero vect.ors, the rank of A= u vT is 1; thus t.he nullity is n - 1.
D7. Let A be the s tandard matrix ofT. If ker(T) is a. line through the origin, then nullity(A) = 1 and
so rank(A) ::: n - 1. Tt follows that ran(T) = col (A) has dimension n- 1 and thus js a hyperplane
in R" .
D8. If r == 2 a.nd s = 1, then rank(A) = 2. Otherwise, either r - 2 or s- l (or both) is ~ 0 , and
rank(A) = 3. Note thnt, since the first and fourt h rows are linearly independent, rank(A) can
never be 1 (or 0).

Thus it is sufficient to prove that the latter is equivalent to the condition that
Suppose that one of the rows of A is a scalar multiple of the other. Then the same 1s true of each

WO RKING WITH PROOFS
Pl.
Frnm T heorem 7.5.8(a) we have nuli(AT A) = nuii(A) . Thus if A .is m >< n , t hen AT A is n x nand
so ra nk (ATA) = n - nuility (AT A) = n - nullity(A} = rank( A). Similarly, nuli{AAT) = nuli(AT )
a.nd so rank(A AT) ::= m - n ~llity ( A A T) = m - nullity(AT) ""' ra.nk(Al' ) = ra nk( A) .
P2.
As above, we have rank( AT A) = n - nu l1ity( A'~' A)= n - nullity(A)

If A is m x n where m < n, then the columns of A form a set of n vectors in Rm and thus are
linearly dependent . Similarly, if m > n , then the rows of A form a set of m vectors in R~'~ and thus
are linea r ly depender.t

P5. If rank(A 2 ) = ran 1'(A) then dim(null(A 2 )) = n- rank(A 2 ) n- rank( A)= dim(nuii(A}) and,
since null(A) <;;; null(A 2 ), it follows that null(A) = null(A 2 ) .
Suppose now that y belongs to null( A) n col( A) . Then y = Ax for some x in R" and Ay = 0 . Since
A 2 x = Ay = 0 , it follows that the vector x belongs to null(A 2 ) = null(A) , and soy = Ax= 0. This
shows that null( A) n col( A)= {0}.
P6. First we prove that if A is a nonzero matrix with rank k, then A has at least one invertible k x k
submatrix, and all submatrices of larger size are singular. The proof is organized as suggested.
Step 1. If A is an m x n matrix with rank k, then dim(col(A)) = k and so A has k linearly
independent columns. Let B be the m x k submatrix of A having these vectors as tts columns.
This matrix also has rank k and thus bas k linearly independent rows. Let C be the k x k
submatrix of B having these vectors as its rows. Then Cis an invertible k x k submatrix of A.
Step 2. Suppose D is an r x r submatrix of A with r > k. Then, since dim(coi(A}) = k < r, the
columns of A which contain those of D must be linearly dependent. It follows that bne columns
of D are linearly dependent since a nontrivial linear dependence arx1ong the containing columns
results in a nontrivial linear dependence among the columns of D. Thus D is singular
Conversely, we prove that if the largest invertible submatrix of A is k x k, then A has rank k
Step 1. Let C be an invertible k x k submatrix of A. Then the columns of C are linearly
independent and so the columns of A that contain the columns of C are also linearly independent.
This shows that rank(A) = dim(coi(A)) ~ k .
Step 2. Suppose rank(A) = r > k. Then dim(col(A)) = r, and so A has r linearly independent
columns. Let 8 be the m x r submatrix of A having these vectors as its columns. Then B also
has rank r and thus has r lmearly independent rows. Let C be the submatrix of B having these
vec-torc; as lt'l rm\''l Thf'n (' is a nonsingular r x r submatrix of A Thus the a..c;sumption that
rank(A) > k has led to a contradiction. This, together with Step l, shows that rank(A) = k.
P7.
If A is invertible then so is AT. Thus, using the cited exercise and Theorem 7.5 2, we have
= rank((C P)T) = rank (Prcr)- rnnk(CT) =rank( C)
this 1l also follows that nullity(CP) = n- rank(G' P) = n- rank( C)= nullity(C).

fore does not correspond to an orthogonal projection.
(c) True. See the proof of Theorem 7.7.7.
(d) True. Since P 2 = P, we also have (J - P) 2 =I - 2P + P 2 = I- P ; thus I- P is idempotent.
(e) False. In fa.ct, since projcoi(Aj b belongs to col(A). the system Ax= projcol(A)b is always
consistent.

orthogonal projection. Note that A 2 = 3A, so A is not idempotent.
D8. In this case the row space of A is equal to all of Rn. Thus the orthogonal projection of Rn onto
row(A) is the identity transformation, and its matrix is the identity matrix.
D9. Suppose that A is ann x n idempotent matrix, and that>. is nn eigenvalue of A with corresponding
eigenvector x (x f 0). Then A 2 x = A(Ax) = A(.h) = ..\2 x. On the other hand, since A 2 =A , we
have A 2 x = Ax = .>.x. Since x =/= 0, it follows 'that >.? = >. and so >. = 0 or 1.

WORKING WITH PROOFS
Pl. If x anJ y are vectors in Rn and if a and /3 are scalars, then a· (ax+ /3y) =a( a· x) + /3(a · y).
Thus
T(ax + /3y) =
a · (ax + /3y)
(a · x)
(a · y)
llall 2
a = a:lja112a + /3~a = aT(x)

wh ich shows that T is linear.

projecl ion of Rn onto W, i.e, that Px = projwx for all x in Rn . To this end, we first note that
Px belongs to W and that
x
= Px + (x- Px)
= Px t (I- P )x
To show that Px = projwx it suffices (from Theorem 7.7.4) to show that (I- P)x belongs to
\1' • .1nd since W - col{ A) = ran(P). this IS equtvalem to showmg that Py · (J - P)x = 0 for all
y m R" Finally, since pT = P = P 2 (Pis symmetric and idempotent), we have P(J- P) =
P - P 2 - P - P = 0 and so
for evcrv x and y m R" This completes the proof.

First we note that the columns of A are linearly independent since they are not scalar multiples of
each other; thus A has full column rank. It follows from Theorem 7.8.3(b) that the system Ax= b

and it is easy to chP"k that this vector is in fact orthogonal to each of the columns of A . For example,

WORKING WITH PROOFS
Pl.
If Ax= b is consistent, then b is in the column space of A and any solu t ion of Ax = b is also a least
squares solution (since li b - Axil= 0). If, in addition, the columns of A are linearly indep endent
lhen there is only one solution of Ax = b and, from Theorem 7 8.3, t he least squares solution is
also umque. Thus, in this case, the least squares solution is the same as the exact solution of
Ax = b
P 2. If b is orthogonal to the column space of A, then projcoi(A)b = 0 . T h us, since t he columns of A
are linearly independent, we have Ax = projcoi(A) b = 0 if and only if x = 0.
P 3. The least squares solutions of A x = b are t he solutions of the normal system AT Ax = AT b . From
Theorem 3 5 1, the solution space of the latter is the translated subspace X.+ W where :X is any
least squares solution and W = null(AT A) = nuii(A).
P 4. If w is in W and w :1: projw b then, as in the proof of Theorem 7.8.1, we have l b lib - projw b ll ; thus projwb is the only best approximation to b from W .
P5.
If ao, a 1, a2, ... , am are scalars such t hat aocdM) + a 1c2(M) t a2c3(M ) +
then
ao + n1:ri + a2x~ + · · · + amxi = 0
wll >
.. + amCm+l(M)
= 0,
for each t = 1, 2, ... , n Thus each x, is a root of the polynomial P (x) = a 0 + a 1 x + · · + amxm.
But such a polynomial (if not identically zero) can have at most m distinct roots. Thus, if n > m
and if at. least. m + 1 of the numbt>rs x 1 , x 2 , . • , Xn are distinct, then ao = a 1 = a2 = · · = am = 0.
This shows that the column vectors of M are linearly independent
P6.
If at least m + I of the numbers :r1 , :r2 , ...• :rn are distinct then, fr om Exercise P5, the column
vect ors of M are linearly independent, thus M has full column rank and M T M is invertible.

(b) v 3 IS orthogonal to span{ wt, w2}.
D3. If the vectors Wt, w2 , . . , w~c are linearly dependent, t hen at least one of the vectors in the list is
a linear combination of the previous ones. If w 1 is a linear combination of w 1 , w 2 , ••. , w 1 _ 1 then ,
when applying the Gram-Schmidt process at the jth step, the vector v i will be 0 .

Pl. If {v1, v2, .. . , v,~c} is an orthogonal basis for W, then {vt/llvl ll , v2/llv2ll. . .. , v~c/llvkl} is a.n
orthonor mal basis. Thus , using part (a), the orthogonal projection of a vector x on W can be

Since llwll = llvll , the Householder reflection about (v - w).l. maps v into w , We have v - w =
(-8, 12), and so (v - w ).l. is the line -8x + 12y = 0, or y = ~x.
Let a = v - w = ( 1, 2, 2)- (0, 0, 3) = (1, 2, -1). Then the reflection of R 3 about a.l. maps v into
w , and the plane a .l corresponds to x + 2y- z = 0 or z = x + 2y.

P 3. One ofthe features of the Gram-Schmidt process is that span{ q 1 , q 2, .
for ea.ch j == 1, 2, . .. , k. Th~1s in the expansion
. .,
q,}
= span {w 1 , w 2 , , . . , Wj}
we must have w 3 • CV -::j:. 0, for otherwise wj would be in span {Q1 , Q2, ... , ClJ -1 } =
span{w1 , w2 , ... , w;- l } which would mean that { w 1 , w2 , . . . , w 1} is a linearly dependent set.
P4. If A = QR is a QR-decomposition of A, then Q = AR- 1 . From this it follows that the columns of
Q belong to the column space of A. In particular, if R- 1 = js,j], then from Q = AR- 1 it follows
that
c; (Q) = Acj(R- 1 ) = StjCI(A) + s2jc2(A) + · · · + S.~<-jCA:(A)
for each j = 1, 2, ... , k. Finally, since dim(col(A)) = k and t.he vectors Ct(Q), c2 (Q), ... ,ck(Q) are
linearly independent, it follows that they form a basis for col(A).

If A 1s a 3 x 3 matrix with a three-dimensional eigenspace then A has only one eigenvalue, A= A1 ,

It follows that Ax = >. 1 x fos a.! I x in R 3 , and so A = >. 1 I is a diagonal matrix.
27.
If C is similar to A then there is an invertsble matrix P such that C = p-l AP It follows that
sf A IS invertible, then C ts invertible since it is a product of invert1ble matnces. Similarly, smce

WORKING WITH PROOFS
Pl. If A and Bare similar, then there is an invertible matnx P such that A = p - t BP. Thus PA = BP
and so, usira,v the result of t he ci ted Exercise, we have rank( A) = rank(PA) = rank(BP) = rank(B )
and nullity(A) = nullity(PA ) nullity(BP) = nnllity( B).
P2.
If A and 13 are sum lar lhen t here ts an invertible matnx P such that A = p - • BP Thus, using
part (e) of Theorem 3 2 12, we have tr(A) = tr(P - 1 BP ) == tr(P 1 ( IJP)) o..: tr(( BP)P - 1 ) = tr(B ).
P3. If

p - 1 (,\x) = >.P- 1x

True The malrix AAr is symmetric and hence is orthogonally diagonalizable.
False If A •s dtagonahzable but not symmetric (therefme not orthogonally daagonalizable),
then there as a basis for R" (but not an orthogonal basis) cons1slmg of eJgenvectors of A.

False. An orthogonal matrix need not be symmetric; for ex\\mple A

{d ) '!Tue If A is an invertible orthogonally diagonalizablc mntnX 1 then there is an orthogonal
matrix P such that pT AP = D where D is a diagonal matnx with nonzero entries {lhe

t.hat D - 1 is a dtagonal matnx with nonzero entries (the reciprocals of the (~lgem·alues) on
the main diagonal Thus the matrix A - l is orthogonally diagonalizable.

the same characteristic polynomial as C, namely
(>.- >.o)" det(>.In-k- Y) = (>.- >.o)kpy(>.) where py(>.) is the characteristic pofynomial of
Y . We will now prove that py (>.o) :f. 0 and thus that the a lgebraic multiplicity of >.0 is
exactly k. The proof is by contradiction:
Suppose py (Ao) - 0, i.e., that >.o is an eigenvo.lue of the matrix Y. Then there is a
nonzero vector y in R"-k such that Yy
= ..\oY·
Let x
= [;]
be Lhe vector in R" whose first
k components are 0 and whose last n- k components are those of y
(c)
and sox IS an eigenvector of C corresponding to >.o Since AP = PC, it follows that Px is
an eigenvector of A corresponding to >.o But. note that e 1 , •. , e~c are also eigenvectors of C
('orrespondin~ to >.o, and that {e 1 • . . , ek x} IS a linearly independent set It follows that
{Pet, .. , Pe~c, Px} 1s a linearly mdependent. set of eigenvectors of A corresponding to >.0 .
But this implies that the geometric muJtiplkity of >.0 IS greater than k, a contradiction!
It follows from part (b) that the sum of the d1mensions of the eigenspaces of A is equal ton;
thus A is dJagonalizable F\u-thermore, smce A IS symmetric, the e1genspaces corresponrling
to different eigenvaluPs are orthogonal. Thus we can form an orthonormal bas1s for R" by
choosing an orthonormal basis for each of tht> e1genspaces and JOining them together. Since
the surn of the dimensions is n, this will be an orthonormal bns1s consisting of ejgenvectors
uf A . Thus A IS orthogonally diagonalizable.

WORKING WITH PROOFS
Pl. Rotating the coordinate axes through an angle 8 corresponds to the change of va.ria.ble x = Px!
where P = [:: -:::], i.e., x = x' cosO- y' sinO andy= x' sin 8 + y' cosO. Substituting these
expressions into the quadratic form ax 2
coefficient of the cross product term is
+ 2bxy + cy2
leads to Ax'2
+ Bx'y' + Cy'2 ,
where the
B = -2acos0sin 8 + 2b(cos2 0- sin2 0) + 2ccos OsinO = (-a+ c) sin 20 + 2bc'os20
Thus the resulting quadratic form in the variables x' and y' has no cross product ter):nP.if and only
if (-a+ c) sin 28 + 2b cos 20 = 0, or (equivalently) cot 28 = ~·
P2 .
From the Print1paJ Ax1s Theorem (8.4.1), there is an orthogonal change of varial>le x = Py for
wh1ch xr Ax= yl'Dy - >-.t!Jf 1- >.2y~, where )q and >.2 are the eigenvalues of A. Since ,\ 1 and >.2
are nonnegat1ve, it follows that xT Ax ~ 0 for every vector x in Rn.

Since A'J'A is positive semidefinite and symmetric its eigenvalues arc nonnegative, and its singular
values c;Lre the same as its nonzero eigenvalues. On the other hand, the singular values of A are the
squnre roots of the nonzero eigenvalues of AT A. Thus the singular values of AT A are the squares

Ul.v·r IS a s1ngular value dccomposiLton of an m x n matrix of rank k, then U has
size m x m, E has size m x n and V bas size n x n.
{b) If A = Ur Er Vt IS a reduced smgular value decomposition of an m x n matnx of rank k,
then U has size m x k, E 1 has size k x k and V has size n x k .

If A 1s an invertible matrix, then it.s eigenvalues are nonzero Thus if A = UEVT is a singular
valur decomposition of A, then E is invertible and A- 1 = (VT)- 1 E- 1U- 1 = vE- 1 UT. Note also
Ihal the clta.gonal "!1lril''i of r;-t are the reciprocals of the diagonal entnes of r;, which are the
.~tr,Kulnr vnlurs of A -t. Thus A - 1 = VE- 1UT is a singular value decomposition of A - l

Using parts (a) and (b) of Theorem 8.7.2, we have (AA+)(AA+) = A(A+ AA+)
(A+ A)(A+ A)= Jl,+(AA+ A)= A+ A; thus AA,. and A+ A are idempotent.

P5. Using P4 and Pl, we have .4+ AA+ =A+ A H A+= A+ .
P6. Using P4 and P2, we have (AA+)'r =(A++ A+)T = A++ A+= AA+.
P7. First note that, as in Exercise P2, we have AA+ = (U1 L: 1 V{)(V1 2:~ 1 U'[) = U1 U'[. Thus, since
the columns of U1 form an orthonormal basis for col(A), the matrix AA+ = U1 UT is the standard
matrix of the orthogonal projection of R" onto col(A).
P8. It follows from Exercise P7 t hat AT(AT)+ is the standard matrix of the orthogonal projection of
R" onto coi(AT) =·row(A). Furthermore, using parts (d), (e), and (f) of Theorem 8.7.2, we have
and so .4+ A is the matrix of the orthogonal projection of R" onto row(A) .
