Tutorial 02: Matrices and Determinats

Exercice 01:

Let the following matrices be:

   
7 1 2 1 0 0  
1 0
A = −1 4 −2 , B = 2 2 0 , C =
2 3
3 1 3 3 4 3
1. Calculate :
A × B , tr(A) , tr(C) , tr(AB)
2. Calculate the determinant of:
A , B and C

Exercice 02:

Let the following matrices be :

     
3 1 2 3 2 2 9 3 6
A=  0 1 1 B =  0 6 3 C =  0 3 3
−1 1 0 −1 2 0 −3 3 0
1. Calculate the determinant of A
2. To deduce the determinants of B , C , BC and B −1
Exercice 03:

We give the following matrices :

   
1 −3 6 1 0 0
A = 6 −8 12 I3 = 0 1 0
3 −3 4 0 0 1
1. Calculate A2 and show that these exist two real numbers a and b
which we will determine such that : A2 = aA + bI3
