Matricies Definition and 40 Threads

I would appreciate help walking through this. I put solid effort into it, but there's these road blocks and questions that I can't seem to get past. This is homework I've assigned myself because these are nagging questions that are bothering me that I can't figure out. I'm studying purely on my...

I am trying to learn MATLAB with MIT OCW and I am running into some trouble. It says as an assignment: c. cMat = a 10x10 matrix where the vector 1:100 runs down the columns (use reshape). so 1 11 21...91 2....92 . ..... 10...100 is the matrix I am trying to make and another...

Hi all, I'm testing out a matrix solving program and while it checks out for 2x2/3x3/4x4 I would like to try it out on some larger matrices, but I don't really want to go through the hassle of row reducing a couple of 10x10 matrices to double check my program. Does anyone happen to know of...

Hi, I'm new to MATLAB and I have a problem: I am trying to create a multiplication matrix of sorts. The first row will have numbers from 0 to 1 in steps of .0101 The first column will have the same, from 0 to 1 in steps of .0101 Then to generate the rest I will multiple each entry in the...

Hi all, I have been trying to gain a deeper insight into quadratic forms and have realized that my textbook makes the assumption that an orthogonal matrix corresponds to either a rotation and/or reflection when viewed as a linear transformation. The textbook outlines a proof that demonstrates...

G'day, I'm doing some questions on whether or not a given set spans a given vector space and was wondering what the best way to write out a matrix is. For example, if I am wanting to show that a bunch of M2X2 elements spans M2X2, can I express each matrix as a coordinate vector with respect to...

1a) First find if A and B are similar (ie: A~B). b) If so find P such that P(^-1)AP=B. (P^-1 is the inverse of P) Ok so I'm not going to give the matricies because I don't know how to write them out properly on this and It doesn't really matter anyways. First I found if A and B were...

Just as a concrete example, say A and A' are two 2x2 matricies from R^2 to R^2, A = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} a \,\, b \\ c \,\, d \end{array} \right ] A' = \left [ \begin{array}{cc} x \,\, y \\ z \,\, w \end{array} \right ] What would A \otimes_\mathbb{R} A' look like (say wrt the standard...

Homework Statement Left Inversion in Rectangular Cases. Let A^{-1}_{left} = (A^{T}A)^{-1}A^{T} show A^{-1}_{left}A = I. This matrix is called the left-inverse of A and it can be shown that if A \in R^{m x n} such that A has a pivot in every column then the left inverse exists. Right...

Let A and B be 2x2 real matricies, and suppose there exists an invertible complex 2x2 matrix P such that B = [P^(-1)]AP. Show that there exists a real invertible 2x2 matrix Q such that B = [Q^(-1)]AQ. A and B are similar when thought of as complex matricies, so they represent the same...

I wonder if I can chose any 4x4 matrices \gamma^\mu which fullfil anticommutationn relations \{\gamma^\mu,\gamma^\nu \}=2g^{\mu\nu} as a matricies in Dirac equation: i \gamma^\mu \partial_\mu \psi= m \psi . What changes in the theory if I chose different matricies? (of course I have to...

Assuming A is a 2x2 matrix how many different matricies exist such that A^2=I ? I am 99% sure the answer is 4 but after putting that down as an answer with supporting evidence I was marked wrong (or atleast not fully correct) so I am stumped as to where to jump and whether or not the grader may...

Homework Statement Prove or disprove the following statement: If A is a singular matrix (detA=0) the it's similar to a matrix with a row of zeros. Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution I know that A has an e-value 0 which means that it's similar to a matrix that has a...

Hello everyone.. I have quite a problem regarding A.C. circuit analysis using complex numbers and 2x2 matricies. * The aim is to find the current in each of the two loops and apply Kirchoff's laws. I believe the overall aim is just to prove that the laws are actually in place.. (SEE...

Are there any applications that always involve the use of noninvertible or singular matrices?? I know there are plenty for invertible ones. Thanks.

I was wondering if there is a way to solve these puzzles with matricies and/or diophantine equations: http://www.sudoku.com/ If you define the basis as nine orthogonal vectors, and input the given initial values to the corresponding places in a 9X9 matrix, and also brake it up into 9 3X3...

I've only taken one linear algebra course, and when I was tought about matricies, I immediatly wondered what the point of them was. I understand they can be useful for solving systems of equations, but there must be other things they can be used for. Probably many. ...what are these things?

is ABCDEF = AB(C(D))EF for matricies? Also is ABCD(EFGH) = ABCDEFGH? Thanks in advance!

Anyone know how to do it? Please provide an easy explination. Please help. Thank you.
