    1.

    (30 pts) Mark each statement True of False. No explanation is required, but +5pts

    but -2pts each for the incorrect answer .

    each for the correct answer

    False

    The cofactor expansion of det A down a column is dierent from the cofactor expansion along a row.

    True

    If B is produced by interchanging two rows of A, then det B = det A.

    False

    If det A is zero, then two rows or two columns are the same, or a row or a column is zero.

    True

    Let A and B square matrices. det AB = det BA holds.

    True

    If ~v1 and ~v2 are eigenvectors that correspond to distinct eigenvalues, then they are linearly independent.

    True

    If A2 is the zero matrix, then the only eigenvalue of A is 0.

    2.

    (40 pts) Let A and B be 4 4 matrices, with det A = 1 and det B = 2. Compute:
    a.det AB
    d.det A

    -2

    b.det A

    -1

    e.det B

    AB

    -1
    -1

    c.det 2A
    f.det B

    -16
    4

    Fill the box above, and show your work here:


    det AB = det A det B = 1 2 = 2 (6pt)
    det A5 = (det A)5 = (1)5 = 1 (6pt)
    det 2A = 24 det A = 16 (8pt)
    det I = det A det A1 , and det A1 = det1 A = 1 (8pt)
    det B 1 AB = det B 1 det A det B = det A = 1 (6pt)
    det B T B = (det B)2 = 4 (6pt)

    Answer: To determine if 4 is an eigenvalue of A, decide if the matrix A 4I is invertible.

    (30 pts) Show that 4 is an eigenvalue of A = 2
    3

    Invertibility can be checked in several ways, but since an eigenvector is needed in the event that one exists, the best
    strategy is to row reduce the augmented matrix for (A 4I)~x = ~0:

    1
    2
    3

    0
    1
    4

    1 0

    0 0

    The equation (A 4I)~x = ~0 has a nontrivial solution, so 4 is an eigenvalue. Any nonzero solution of (A 4I)~x = ~0 is
    a corresponding eigenvector. The entries in a solution satisfy x1 + x3 = 0 and x2 x3 = 0, with x3 free. The general
    solution is

    1
    ~x = x3 1 .
    1

    1
    Simply take any nonzero value for x3 to produce an eigenvector. If x3 = 1, then ~x = 1 . Note that you can take
    1
    any nonzero for x3 , but if you give two vectors with dierent x3 's, two vectors are not linearly independent!
