2. Let A be a skew-symmetric matrix of order n, then show that det (A) = 0 if n is odd.
3. If A is non-zero column matrix of order n × 1 and B is non-zero row matrix of the type 1 × n,
then ρ(A B) is ….

8. Let V be the set of all pairs (x, y) of real numbers, and let F be the eld of real numbers. De ne
(x, y) + (x1, yi ) = (x + x1,0), c(x, y) = (cx,0). Is V, with these operations, a vector space over the
eld of real numbers?
10. Show that S = {(1,2,4), (1,0,0), (0,1,0), (0,0,1)} is a linearly dependent subset of the vector
space V3(ℝ) where ℝ is the eld of real numbers.
11. In 3(ℝ), where ℝ is the eld of real numbers, examine each of the following sets of vectors for
linear dependence:
12. Show that the vectors {(1,2,1), (2,1,0), (1, − 1,2)} form a basis of ℝ3.
