    Remark: Note that in examples 11) and 12) the matrix multiplication involves a diagonal
    matrix which is especially easy to compute.

    Indeed, to multiply a matrix 𝐴 on the left by a diagonal matrix 𝐷, we must multiply


    successive rows of 𝐴 by the successive diagonal entries of 𝐷 and to multiply a matrix 𝐴 on
    the right by a diagonal matrix 𝐷, we must multiply successive columns of 𝐴 by the
    successive diagonal entries of 𝐷.

    Exercise 6:

    a) Invertible b) Not invertible because c) Not invertible because


    𝑎44 = 0 the matrix is not
    square matrix
    Exercise 7:

    a) They don’t commute because the given resulting product is not symmetric.
    b) They commute because the given resulting product is symmetric.

    Exercise 9:
    3𝑎11 5𝑎12 6𝑎13 𝑎11 𝑎12 𝑎13 3 0 0
    [3𝑎21 5𝑎22 6𝑎23 ] = [𝑎21 𝑎22 𝑎23 ] . [0 5 0]

    Exercise 10:
    2 −1/2 9/2 0 −1/2 1/2
    𝐴 = [−1/2 3 −1/2] + [ 1/2 0 3/2]
    9/2 −1/2 1 −1/2 −3/2 0

    Exercise 11:

    Recall: To prove that a matrix 𝐴 is symmetric we should prove that 𝐴𝑇 = 𝐴.

    a) (𝐴2 )𝑇 = (𝐴. 𝐴)𝑇 = 𝐴𝑇 . 𝐴𝑇 = 𝐴. 𝐴 = 𝐴2 . Hence, 𝐴2 is symmetric.


    b) (2𝐴2 − 3𝐴 + 𝐼3 )𝑇 = 2(𝐴2 )𝑇 − 3𝐴𝑇 + 𝐼3 𝑇 = 2𝐴2 − 3𝐴 + 𝐼3 . Hence 2𝐴2 − 3𝐴 + 𝐼3
    is symmetric.

    Exercise 12:
    𝑎11 0 0
    Let 𝐴 = [ 0 𝑎22 0 ]. Then
    0 0 𝑎33
    2
    𝑎11 − 3𝑎11 − 4 0 0
    𝐴2 − 3𝐴 − 4𝐼 = [ 0 2
    𝑎22 − 3𝑎22 − 4 0 ].
    2
    0 0 𝑎33 − 3𝑎33 − 4

    The above matrix expression must be equal to zero matrix. Thus, every diagonal entry
    must be equal to zero:
