    1. Consider the following matrices.


     
    1 1/2 1/3
    1/4 1/5

    and B −1 .
    e. Find M32 , M33 , M34 and M35 . What is the pattern you see? What is M320112011 ?

    2. A square matrix A is called nilpotent if some power of the matrix is equal to the
    zero matrix, i.e. An = 0 for some integer n. The smallest such n is called the
    degree of A. Consider the matrix
     
    0 1 0 0
     0 0 1 0 
    A=  0 0 0

    1 
    0 0 0 0

    a. Show that A is nilpotent, and find its degree.


    b. The eigenvalues of any nilpotent matrix are all zero. Confirm this by finding
    the eigenvalues of A.
    c. Find a matrix that is nilpotent with order 10.
    E.C. Give (or describe) a matrix that is nilpotent with order 2011.
    3. The L2 condition number of a matrix is given by the 2-norm of the matrix times
    the 2-norm of the inverse of the matrix (written ||A||2 · ||A−1 ||2 )
    a. Find the condition number of H5 from problem 1. Look in the help files for
    the correct norm command.
    b. Find a value of x so that the following matrix C has L2 condition number as
    close to 100 as possible. Guess and check.
     
    x 2 2
    C= 2 2 2 

    4. In computing an approximating function for a set of data, a spline is often used. The
    theory of splines is covered in numerical analysis, but for a specific data set, the following
    system of equations must be solved.
     

     0.28S1 + 0.1S2 = −64.65  
     0.1S1 + 0.34S2 + 0.07S3 = −54.81 

     

    0.07S2 + 2.16S3 + 1.01S4 = −8.43
    1.01S3 + 2.58S4 + 0.28S5 = −7.92 

     

     

    0.28S4 + 1.42S5 = −2.78
     

    Solve this system in three ways:


    a. Using the command rref.
    b. Using the command lsolve.
    c. Using the matrix inverse.
