Solution

Your assignment includes problems on linear algebra topics such as basis verification, coordinate representation, reduced row-echelon form (RREF), basis finding, and determinant calculation. Here’s a brief outline of how you can approach each problem:

Problem 1: Basis and Coordinate Representation

  1. Bases Verification (Part i):

    • Show that B={u1,u2,u3}B = \{u_1, u_2, u_3\} and B={v1,v2,v3}B' = \{v_1, v_2, v_3\} are linearly independent.
    • Confirm they span R3\mathbb{R}^3.
  2. Coordinate Representations (Part ii):

    • Solve for [v]B[v]_B and [v]B[v]_{B'}:
      • Set up v=c1u1+c2u2+c3u3v = c_1u_1 + c_2u_2 + c_3u_3 for [v]B[v]_B and similarly for BB'.
      • Solve the systems of equations for c1,c2,c3c_1, c_2, c_3.
  3. Change of Basis Matrix (Part iii):

    • Calculate ABB=P1A_{B \leftarrow B'} = P^{-1} where PP is the matrix with BB''s vectors as columns in BB-coordinates.
    • Verify that ABBABB=IA_{B \leftarrow B'} \cdot A_{B' \leftarrow B} = I.

Problem 2: Matrix Properties

  1. RREF (Part i):

    • Use Gaussian elimination to find the reduced row-echelon form of AA.
  2. Basis (Part ii):

    • For row(A)\text{row}(A): Extract non-zero rows of RREF.
    • For col(A)\text{col}(A): Use pivot columns from RREF in the original matrix.
    • For null(A)\text{null}(A): Solve Ax=0A\mathbf{x} = 0.

Problem 3: Determinant Calculation

  1. Determinant of 3x3 Matrix (Part i):

    • Use cofactor expansion to compute det(A)\text{det}(A).
  2. Determinant with Row Operations (Part ii):

    • Apply the given row operations step-by-step.
    • Adjust for any multiplication of rows affecting the determinant:
      • Row operation effects: RkRk+cRjR_k \to R_k + cR_j leaves the determinant unchanged.
      • Verify det(A)\text{det}(A) after operations.

Would you like a detailed walkthrough of any specific question or all of them? Let me know if you'd prefer detailed calculations or conceptual clarifications.

Here are five questions that expand on the information:

  1. What conditions are necessary for a set of vectors to form a basis in Rn\mathbb{R}^n?
  2. How do row operations affect the determinant of a matrix?
  3. Can a matrix with linearly dependent columns have an invertible change of basis matrix?
  4. How does the rank of a matrix relate to the dimensions of its null space and column space?
  5. What is the significance of the reduced row-echelon form in solving linear systems?

Tip: When solving linear systems for coordinate representations, writing augmented matrices and solving systematically reduces computation errors.
