    The document contains solutions to two linear algebra problems: 1) For a matrix X partitioned into blocks A, B, C, D, it is shown that if A is invertible and AC=CA, then the determinant of X equals the determinant of AD - CB. 2) For a 3x3 matrix T, it is found that the characteristic values are 0 and 1, the characteristic spaces are spans of (3,1,0), (2,1,1) and (1,1,1), and there exists a diagonalizing matrix P such that P^-1AP is a diagonal matrix with diagonal entries of 1, 0, 0.

    No books, notes, or calculator allowed. Show detail. 1. 1. (8 points) Consider the following matrix in block form X= A B . C D

    (25 minutes)

    Here A, B, C and D are n n matrices. Assume A is invertible and AC = CA. Show that det(X) = det(AD CB). Solution: By doing the row operation on blocks (note that A is invertible), we see that I 0 A B CA1 I C D = A B . 0 D CA1 B

    Compute determinants from both side we get (note that AC = CA) det(X) = det(A) det(D CA1 B) = det(A(D CA1 B)) = det(AD CB). 2. (12 points) Let T be the linear operator on ordered basis by the matrix 2 3 1 2 A= 1 3 R3 which is represented in the standard 1 1. 2

    (1). Find the characteristic values of T . (2). Find characteristic spaces associated with each characteristic value. (3). Find an invertible matrix P such that P 1 AP is diagonal. What is this diagonal matrix? Solution: (1). Compute the characteristic polynomial to get det(xI T ) = x(x 1)2 . So the characteristic values are 0 and 1. (2). Check that Ker(IT ) has dimension 2. Pick any basis, for example {(3, 1, 0), (2, 1, 1)}. T has rank 2 so Ker(0 T ) has dimension 1. Pick any basis, for example {(1, 1, 1)}. (3). Let 3 2 1 P = 1 1 1 , 0 1 1 or any matrix consists bases of characteristic spaces. 1 0 1 0 1 P AP = 0 0 Then we have 0 0 . 0
