Assignment # 1

Linear Algebra (Mth501)

Student ID: bc230407438

Due Date: May 20, 2025

Section Incharge: Imran Talib

Total Marks: 20

Question 1:

Determine whether the following set of vectors {v1, v2, v3} are linearly independent
or not:

[] [] []
1 4 2
v 1= 2 , v 2= 5 , v 3= 1
3 6 0

Solution:

Convert the given vectors into matrix form:

[ ]
142
A= 2 5 1
360

Now find the determinant of A:

| A|=1 [ 5 ( 0 )−1 ( 6 ) ]−4 [ 2 ( 0 ) −1 ( 3 ) ] +2 [ 2 ( 6 ) −5 ( 3 ) ]

| A|=1 [ 0−6 ] −4 [ 0−3 ] +2 [ 12−15 ]


| A|=−6+ 12−6
| A|=0

As the | A| = 0

So the vectors are linearly dependent.

Question 2:

Let L :R 3 → R3 be the linear operator defined as:

([ ]) ([ ])
x x+ y
L y = y−z
z x+z

Find the standard matrix representing L.

Solution:

Apply the standard basis vectors of R3 on L:


() [ ] []
1 1+0 1
L(e ¿¿ 1)=L 0 = 0−0 = 0 ¿
0 1+0 1

() [ ] []
0 0+1 1
L(e ¿¿ 2)=L 1 = 1−0 = 1 ¿
0 0+0 0

() [ ] [ ]
0 0+0 0
L(e ¿¿ 1)=L 0 = 0−1 = −1 ¿
1 0+1 1

Combine all the vectors into matrix form:

[ ]
11 0
A= 0 1−1
1 01

Question 3:

Find the inverse of the matrix:

[ ]
0 1 2
A= 1 0 3
4 −3 8

If it exists.

Solution:

−1 1
A =
¿ A∨¿ adj A ¿

|A| = 0[0(8)-3(-3)]-1[1(8)-3(4)]+2[1(-3)-0(4)]

|A|= 0+4-6

| A|=−2 ≠ 0
Since det(A) ≠ 0, the inverse exists.

Question 4:

Define a linear transformation T : R 2 → R 2 by:

(
T ( x )= 0 −1 x 1 = −x 2
1 0 x2 x1 )( ) ( )
Find the images under T of u= ( 41) and v=( 23).
Solution:

For u= ( 41):
T ( u )= ( 01 −10 )( 41)=(−14)
