Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 1:
Let
B = {[1, 1, 0]T, [0, 1, 1]T, [1, 2, 2]T}
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
let T =
B = {[1, 1, 0]T, [0, 1, 1]T, [1, 2, 2]T}
Let [1, 2, 1]T = a[1, 1, 0]T + b[0, 1, 1]T + c[1, 2, 2]T
⇒ a + c = 1; a + b + 2c = 2; b + 2c = 1
Putting b + 2c = 1 in 2nd equation we get
a + 1 = 2 ⇒ a = 1
then a + c = 1 ⇒ c = 0 and
b + 2c = 1 ⇒ b = 1
We get a = 1, c = 0, b = 1
So, [1, 2, 1]T = 1[1, 1, 0]T + 1[0, 1, 1]T + 0[1, 2, 2]T
Let [3, 5, -2]T = a[1, 1, 0]T + b[0, 1, 1]T + c[1, 2, 2]T
⇒ a + c = 3; a + b + 2c = 5; b + 2c = - 2
Putting b + 2c = - 2 in 2nd equation we get
a - 2 = 5 ⇒ a = 7
then a + c = 1 ⇒ c = - 6 and
b + 2c = 1 ⇒ b = 13
So, [3, 5, -2]T = 7[1, 1, 0]T + 13[0, 1, 1]T - 6[1, 2, 2]T
Let [1, -4, 2]T = a[1, 1, 0]T + b[0, 1, 1]T + c[1, 2, 2]T
⇒ a + c = 1; a + b + 2c = - 4; b + 2c = 2
Putting b + 2c = 2 in 2nd equation we get
a + 2 = - 4 ⇒ a = - 6
then a + c = 1 ⇒ c = 7 and
b + 2c = 2 ⇒ b = - 12
So, [3, 5, -2]T = -6[1, 1, 0]T - 12[0, 1, 1]T + 7[1, 2, 2]T
Hence we get the required matrix as
(4) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 2:
Let A ∈ ℝ10 × 10 such that A2 = A and CA (x) = x3(x + 1)7 let C(A) and N(A) are column space and null space of A respectively then
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 2 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Idempotent matrix is diagonalizable.
Explanation:
A2 = A so A is idempotent matrix
Hence A is diagonalizable
(1) is true
Given CA (x) = x3(x + 1)7
ρ(A) = number of non-zero eigenvalues = 7
η(A) = 10 - 7 = 3
so dim(C(A)) = 7 ⇒ dim
hence dim
(2), (3) are false
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 3:
Let A ∈ M3 (ℝ) and let X = {C ∈ GL3 (ℝ) | CAC-1 is triangular}. Then
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
1. A square matrix is said to be triangularizable if it is similar to a triangular matrix.
2. Let A be a square matrix whose characteristic polynomial factors into linear polynomials, then A is similar to a triangular matrix. i.e., there exists an invertible matrix P such that P-1 AP is triangular.
Explanation:
X = {C ∈ GL3 (ℝ): CAC-1 is triangular}
and A ∈ M3 (ℝ) is fixed.
Since CAC-1 is always similar to A, thus CAC-1 is triangular iff A is triangularizable.
Thus if A is not triangularizable, then X = ϕ.
So (1) is false.
Since the degree of the characteristic polynomial of A, i.e., the degree of ChA (x) is 3.
Hence, it has at least one real root. As X = Ø which implies ChA (x) has 3 distinct roots in C.
⇒ A is diagonalizable. Hence option (c) is correct and options (2) and (4) are false
Only (3) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 4:
Let T ∶ ℂn → ℂn be a linear transformation, n ≥ 2. Suppose 1 is the only eigenvalue of T. Which of the following statements are true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 4 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
(1) Let T is identity operator implies Tk = I, ∀ k ∈
Option (1) is false
(2) Consider T such that matrix of T is
Option (2) is false
Given that 1 in the only eigen value of T.
which means (T - I)n = 0
if An = 0 then take another matrix B then AnB = 0 because (An is nilpotent)
By using this Concept.
So (T-I)n = 0 Hence (T-I)n+1 = (T - I)n(T - I) = 0
So (3) and (4) are true.
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 5:
The characteristic equation of a (3 × 3) matrix A is defined as a(λ) = |λ| - Al = λ3 + λ2 + 2λ + 1 = 0. If L denotes identify matrix, then the inverse of matrix A will be
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Cayley-Hamilton theorem: According to the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, every matrix 'A' satisfies its own characteristic equation.
Characteristic equation: If A is any square matrix of order n, we can form the matrix [A – λI], where I is the nth order unit matrix. The determinant of this matrix equated to zero i.e. |A – λI| = 0 is called the characteristic equation of A.
Explanation:
The characteristic equation is
λ3 + λ2 + 2λ + 1 = 0
Now, by Cayley Hamilton theorem
A3 + A2 + 2A + l = 0 ⇒ l = -A3 - A2 - 2A
Multiplying by A-1 on both sides, we get
A-1 = -A2 - A - 2l = -(A2 + A + 2I)
∴ A-1 = -(A2 + A + 2I)
Option (4) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 6:
Which of the following(s) is/are correct ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Hermitian Matrix: Any square matrix say A is said to be a Hermitian matrix if A = Aθ where Aθ is the transpose of the conjugate matrix of A.
Note: All the diagonal elements of a Hermitian matrix is purely real.
Skew Hermitian Matrix: Any square matrix say A is said to be a skew Hermitian matrix if A = - Aθ where Aθ is the transpose of the conjugate matrix of A.
Note: All the diagonal elements of a skew Hermitian matrix is purely imaginary or zero.
Explanation:
(1): We have,
a̅ij = -aji
On putting j = i, we get
a̅ii = -aii
⇒ a̅ii + aii = 0
⇒ Real part of aii = 0
⇒ aii is purely imaginary.
Hence, the element on the principal diagonal Skew-Hermitian matrix are purely imaginary.
Option (1) is correct
(2) A is Hermitian matrix. So A = Aθ ....(i)
Now, (iA)θ = i̅ Aθ = - iA (Using (i))
Hence, iA is Skew-Hermitian matrix.
Option (2) is correct
(3) A is any matrix
Now, (A - Aθ)θ = Aθ - (Aθ)θ
= Aθ - A (as (Aθ)θ = A)
= - (A - Aθ)
Hence, A - Aθ is Skew-Hermitian matrix.
Option (3) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 7:
Let V be a vector space of dimension 3 over ℝ. Let T ∶ V → V be a linear transformation, given by the matrix A =
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Since given matrix A =
standard basis {ν1, ν2, ν3}, where ν1 = (1, 0, 0), ν2 = (0, 1, 0), ν3 = (0, 0, 1).
So, T: V → V is given by T(x) = Ax.
Now for option (1):
T(ν3) =
So option (1) is false.
For option (2):
T(v1 + ν2) =
So option (2) is false.
For option (3):
T(v1 + ν2 + ν3) =
So option (3) is true.
For option (4):
T(v1 + ν3) =
and T(v2) =
So T(v1 + ν3) ≠ T(v2)
Thus option (4) is false.
