Mat 2580 Review

This document contains 12 multi-part math and linear algebra problems involving matrices, determinants, systems of linear equations, vector and matrix operations, and tests for linear dependence. The problems cover topics like finding the determinant of products and inverses of matrices, rewriting systems of equations in matrix form and solving them using inverses, properties of linearly dependent and independent vectors, matrix rotations, and properties that are preserved under similar matrices.

3. Consider the system of equations:

2 x1 + 4 x2

+ 3 x3 = 2

a. Rewrite the system in the form Ax = B . b. Find the inverse of A and use it to solve the above system. Credit will not be given for any other method. 6. a. Consider three vectors in 3 touching a line that does not pass through the origin. If the vectors are not multiples of each other, prove that they are linearly dependent. See the diagram below (Diagram not drawn to scale).

b. In part (a), if we replace three vectors by two vectors with the above property, will the two vectors be linearly dependent? Explain your answer.
