Problems On Matrices and Determinants: September 18, 2009

1. The document discusses problems involving matrices and determinants. It asks the reader to determine possible matrix orders based on the number of elements, whether certain matrix additions and multiplications are possible based on their dimensions, and to solve equations involving matrices. 2. It also asks the reader to find specific matrix values that satisfy given equations, express a matrix as the sum of a symmetric and skew-symmetric matrix, show a property of skew-symmetric matrices, and compute determinants, adjoints, inverses and other properties of various matrices. 3. The problems cover topics such as possible matrix dimensions, matrix addition and multiplication rules, solving systems of equations involving matrices, properties of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices, determinants,
