MTH501 – Linear Algebra

Assignment No. 01 (Solved)

Question 1
Let v = (1, 1) be a vector in ℝ². Show that the reflection of v about the y-axis produces the
same result as rotating v through 90° counterclockwise about the origin.

Solution:

Reflection matrix about the y-axis:


R = [ -1 0 ]
[ 0 1]

Rotation by 90° counterclockwise:


Q = [ 0 -1 ]
[1 0]

Apply R and Q to v = (1, 1):


R·v = (-1, 1)
Q·v = (-1, 1)

Both transformations give the same result, so the statement is proven.

Question 2
Compute the inverse of the matrix A using the augmented matrix method:
A = [2 0 -2]
[0 3 1]
[4 8 3]

Solution:

After performing row operations on the augmented matrix [A | I], we obtain:

A⁻¹ =
[ 1/26 -8/13 3/13 ]
[ 2/13 7/13 -1/13 ]
[ -6/13 -8/13 3/13 ]

Question 3
Find the values of x, y, z that satisfy the system:
2x + y - z = 8
-3x + 4y + 2z = -2
x + 5y + 3z = 12
Solution:

Using elimination, the solution is:


x = 52/17
y = 31/17
z = -1/17

Question 4
Perform LU decomposition of the matrix:
A=[2 3 1]
[4 7 2]
[ 6 18 -1 ]

Solution:

Using Doolittle’s method (L has 1s on the diagonal):

L=[1 0 0]
[2 1 0]
[3 9 1]

U=[2 3 1]
[0 1 0]
[ 0 0 -4 ]

Thus, A = LU.
