Question 1:

−2 4 1 3
If 𝐴 = [ ] 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝐵 = [ ], then verify that either B is a multiplicative inverse of
3 −1 4 −1
A or not?

Question 2:
Consider
2 0 0 0 0 2
0 2 0 0 0 2
𝐴= 0 0 2 0 0 2
0 0 0 1 0 0
0 0 0 0 1 0
[1 1 1 0 0 1]
Find 𝐴2 by using partitioned matrices approach.

Question 3:

2 0
𝐴=[ ].
1 2

Questions 4:
Compute two iterations for the following system of equations by using the Jacobi’s Method:

10𝑥1 + 𝑥2 = 20
𝑥1 + 12𝑥2 = 36

Take x (0) = (2,3) as an initial approximation.
