Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 1:
Given that there are real constants a, b, c, d such that the identity λx2 + 2xy + y2 = (ax + by)2 + (cx + dy)2 holds for all x, y ∈ ℝ. This implies
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
a, b, c, d ∈ ℝ
λx2 + 2xy + y2 = (ax + by)2 + (cx + dy)2 holds for all x, y ∈ ℝ.
⇒ λx2 + 2xy + y2 = a2x2 + b2y2 + 2abxy + c2x2 + d2y2 + 2cdxy
⇒ λx2 + 2xy + y2 = (a2 + c2) x2 + 2(ab + cd)xy + (b2 + d2) y2
Comparing the coefficients of x2, y2 and xy we get
a2 + c2 = λ ....(i)
ab + cd = 1....(ii)
b2 + d2 = 1 ....(iii)
From (i) λ is the sum of the squares of two integers. So it can't be negative.
Option (1) is false.
If we take a = b = c = d = \(\frac1{\sqrt2}\) then all equations satisfied and
λ = 1
So, options (3) and (4) are false
Hence option (2) is true
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 2:
Let \(\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 5 & -4 \\ 1 & -2 & 2 \end{array}\right]\). Find the matrix that represents the linear operator given by a relation to the basis
B = {[1, 1, 0]T, [0, 1, 1]T, [1, 2, 2]T}
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
let T = \(\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & 3 & 1 \\ 2 & 5 & -4 \\ 1 & -2 & 2 \end{array}\right]\)
B = {[1, 1, 0]T, [0, 1, 1]T, [1, 2, 2]T}
Let [1, 2, 1]T = a[1, 1, 0]T + b[0, 1, 1]T + c[1, 2, 2]T
⇒ a + c = 1; a + b + 2c = 2; b + 2c = 1
Putting b + 2c = 1 in 2nd equation we get
a + 1 = 2 ⇒ a = 1
then a + c = 1 ⇒ c = 0 and
b + 2c = 1 ⇒ b = 1
We get a = 1, c = 0, b = 1
So, [1, 2, 1]T = 1[1, 1, 0]T + 1[0, 1, 1]T + 0[1, 2, 2]T
Let [3, 5, -2]T = a[1, 1, 0]T + b[0, 1, 1]T + c[1, 2, 2]T
⇒ a + c = 3; a + b + 2c = 5; b + 2c = - 2
Putting b + 2c = - 2 in 2nd equation we get
a - 2 = 5 ⇒ a = 7
then a + c = 1 ⇒ c = - 6 and
b + 2c = 1 ⇒ b = 13
So, [3, 5, -2]T = 7[1, 1, 0]T + 13[0, 1, 1]T - 6[1, 2, 2]T
Let [1, -4, 2]T = a[1, 1, 0]T + b[0, 1, 1]T + c[1, 2, 2]T
⇒ a + c = 1; a + b + 2c = - 4; b + 2c = 2
Putting b + 2c = 2 in 2nd equation we get
a + 2 = - 4 ⇒ a = - 6
then a + c = 1 ⇒ c = 7 and
b + 2c = 2 ⇒ b = - 12
So, [3, 5, -2]T = -6[1, 1, 0]T - 12[0, 1, 1]T + 7[1, 2, 2]T
Hence we get the required matrix as
\(\begin{bmatrix}1&7&-6\\1&13&-12\\0&-6&7\end{bmatrix}\)
(4) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 3:
Let A ∈ ℝ10 × 10 such that A2 = A and CA (x) = x3(x + 1)7 let C(A) and N(A) are column space and null space of A respectively then
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Idempotent matrix is diagonalizable.
Explanation:
A2 = A so A is idempotent matrix
Hence A is diagonalizable
(1) is true
Given CA (x) = x3(x + 1)7
ρ(A) = number of non-zero eigenvalues = 7
η(A) = 10 - 7 = 3
so dim(C(A)) = 7 ⇒ dim\(\rm(C(A))^{\perp}\) = 3
hence dim\(\rm (N(A))^{\perp}\) = 7
(2), (3) are false
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 4:
Let A ∈ M3 (ℝ) and let X = {C ∈ GL3 (ℝ) | CAC-1 is triangular}. Then
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 4 Detailed Solution
Concept:
1. A square matrix is said to be triangularizable if it is similar to a triangular matrix.
2. Let A be a square matrix whose characteristic polynomial factors into linear polynomials, then A is similar to a triangular matrix. i.e., there exists an invertible matrix P such that P-1 AP is triangular.
Explanation:
X = {C ∈ GL3 (ℝ): CAC-1 is triangular}
and A ∈ M3 (ℝ) is fixed.
Since CAC-1 is always similar to A, thus CAC-1 is triangular iff A is triangularizable.
Thus if A is not triangularizable, then X = ϕ.
So (1) is false.
Since the degree of the characteristic polynomial of A, i.e., the degree of ChA (x) is 3.
Hence, it has at least one real root. As X = Ø which implies ChA (x) has 3 distinct roots in C.
⇒ A is diagonalizable. Hence option (c) is correct and options (2) and (4) are false
Only (3) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 5:
Let T ∶ ℂn → ℂn be a linear transformation, n ≥ 2. Suppose 1 is the only eigenvalue of T. Which of the following statements are true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 5 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
(1) Let T is identity operator implies Tk = I, ∀ k ∈ \(\mathbb{N}\).
Option (1) is false
(2) Consider T such that matrix of T is \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 1 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]\), then T - I has matrix \(\left[\begin{array}{ll}0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0\end{array}\right]\), but (T - I)2-1 is non-zero.
Option (2) is false
Given that 1 in the only eigen value of T.
which means (T - I)n = 0
if An = 0 then take another matrix B then AnB = 0 because (An is nilpotent)
By using this Concept.
So (T-I)n = 0 Hence (T-I)n+1 = (T - I)n(T - I) = 0
So (3) and (4) are true.
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 6:
The characteristic equation of a (3 × 3) matrix A is defined as a(λ) = |λ| - Al = λ3 + λ2 + 2λ + 1 = 0. If L denotes identify matrix, then the inverse of matrix A will be
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Cayley-Hamilton theorem: According to the Cayley-Hamilton theorem, every matrix 'A' satisfies its own characteristic equation.
Characteristic equation: If A is any square matrix of order n, we can form the matrix [A – λI], where I is the nth order unit matrix. The determinant of this matrix equated to zero i.e. |A – λI| = 0 is called the characteristic equation of A.
Explanation:
The characteristic equation is
λ3 + λ2 + 2λ + 1 = 0
Now, by Cayley Hamilton theorem
A3 + A2 + 2A + l = 0 ⇒ l = -A3 - A2 - 2A
Multiplying by A-1 on both sides, we get
A-1 = -A2 - A - 2l = -(A2 + A + 2I)
∴ A-1 = -(A2 + A + 2I)
Option (4) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 7:
Which of the following(s) is/are correct ?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 7 Detailed Solution
Concept:
Hermitian Matrix: Any square matrix say A is said to be a Hermitian matrix if A = Aθ where Aθ is the transpose of the conjugate matrix of A.
Note: All the diagonal elements of a Hermitian matrix is purely real.
Skew Hermitian Matrix: Any square matrix say A is said to be a skew Hermitian matrix if A = - Aθ where Aθ is the transpose of the conjugate matrix of A.
Note: All the diagonal elements of a skew Hermitian matrix is purely imaginary or zero.
Explanation:
(1): We have,
a̅ij = -aji
On putting j = i, we get
a̅ii = -aii
⇒ a̅ii + aii = 0
⇒ Real part of aii = 0
⇒ aii is purely imaginary.
Hence, the element on the principal diagonal Skew-Hermitian matrix are purely imaginary.
Option (1) is correct
(2) A is Hermitian matrix. So A = Aθ ....(i)
Now, (iA)θ = i̅ Aθ = - iA (Using (i))
Hence, iA is Skew-Hermitian matrix.
Option (2) is correct
(3) A is any matrix
Now, (A - Aθ)θ = Aθ - (Aθ)θ
= Aθ - A (as (Aθ)θ = A)
= - (A - Aθ)
Hence, A - Aθ is Skew-Hermitian matrix.
Option (3) is correct
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 8:
Let V be a vector space of dimension 3 over ℝ. Let T ∶ V → V be a linear transformation, given by the matrix A = \(\left(\begin{matrix}1& -1&0\\\ 1&-4&3\\\ -2&5&-3 \end{matrix} \right)\) with respect to an ordered basis {v1, v2, v3} of V. Then which of the following statements is true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 8 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Since given matrix A = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}&0\\ 1&{ - 4}&3\\ { - 2}&5&{ - 3} \end{array}} \right]\) w.r.t
standard basis {ν1, ν2, ν3}, where ν1 = (1, 0, 0), ν2 = (0, 1, 0), ν3 = (0, 0, 1).
So, T: V → V is given by T(x) = Ax.
Now for option (1):
T(ν3) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}&0\\ 1&{ - 4}&3\\ { - 2}&5&{ - 3} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0\\ 0\\ 1 \end{array}} \right]\, = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0\\ 3\\ { - 3} \end{array}} \right]\,\)≠ 0
So option (1) is false.
For option (2):
T(v1 + ν2) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}&0\\ 1&{ - 4}&3\\ { - 2}&5&{ - 3} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1\\ 1\\ 0 \end{array}} \right]\, = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0\\ -3\\ { 3} \end{array}} \right]\,\)≠ 0
So option (2) is false.
For option (3):
T(v1 + ν2 + ν3) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}&0\\ 1&{ - 4}&3\\ { - 2}&5&{ - 3} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1\\ 1\\ 1 \end{array}} \right]\, = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0\\ 0\\ { 0} \end{array}} \right]\,\)
So option (3) is true.
For option (4):
T(v1 + ν3) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}&0\\ 1&{ - 4}&3\\ { - 2}&5&{ - 3} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1\\ 0\\ 1 \end{array}} \right]\, = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 0\\ 4\\ { -5} \end{array}} \right]\,\)
and T(v2) = \(\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}&0\\ 1&{ - 4}&3\\ { - 2}&5&{ - 3} \end{array}} \right]\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1\\ 0\\ 1 \end{array}} \right]\, = \,\left[ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} -1\\ -4\\ { 5} \end{array}} \right]\,\)
So T(v1 + ν3) ≠ T(v2)
Thus option (4) is false.
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 9:
Let A be a 3 × 3 nilpotent matrix. Which of the following statements are necessarily true?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 9 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Recall: The index of an n × n nilpotent matrix is always less than or equal to n.
Let \(\rm A=\left[\begin{array}{lll}0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right] \rm then\ A^2=\left[\begin{array}{lll}0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0\end{array}\right] \)
Now, \(\quad(I+A)^n=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right]^n=\left[\begin{array}{lll}1 & 1 & n-1 \\ 0 & 1 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 1\end{array}\right] ≠ I\)
for any n > 0.
opt (1) - False.
(2) Here, If \(A=\left[\begin{array}{lll} 0 & 0 & 1 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & 0 \end{array}\right]\) then cal (A) ≠ {0}
opt (2) - false.
(4) ∵ Index (A) ≤ 3
Then A3 = On×n
and On×n is diagonalizable matrix.
⇒ A3 is diagonalizable
opt(4)True.
(5) Eigen values of a nilpotent matrix only 'O'
⇒ opt(3)−False.
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 10:
It is known that X = X0 ∈ M2 (\(\mathbb{Z}\)) is a solution of AX - XA = A for some \(A \in \left\{ {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&1\\ { - 1}&{ - 1} \end{array}} \right),\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} { - 1}&1\\ 1&{ - 1} \end{array}} \right),\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} 1&{ - 1}\\ { - 1}&1 \end{array}} \right)} \right\}\) Which of the following values are NOT possible for the determinant of X0?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Matrix Representation of Linear Transformations Question 10 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Let X0 =\(\begin{bmatrix} a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}\), then for A = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1&1\\-1&-1\end{bmatrix}\), we have
AX0 - X0A = A
⇒ \(\begin{bmatrix} 1&1\\-1&-1\end{bmatrix}\) \(\begin{bmatrix} a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}\)- \(\begin{bmatrix} a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}\)\(\begin{bmatrix} 1&1\\-1&-1\end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1&1\\-1&-1\end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ \(\begin{bmatrix} a + c&b+ d\\-a-c&-b-d\end{bmatrix}\) - \(\begin{bmatrix} a - b&a - b\\c-d&c-d\end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1&1\\-1&-1\end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ \(\begin{bmatrix} b+ c&2b+ d -a\\d - 2c - a&-b-c\end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1&1\\-1&-1\end{bmatrix}\)
Which gives the two equations c = 1 - b
2b = 1 - d + a
So, det(X0) = ad - bc
= ad - b(1 - b)
= ad - \(\frac{1(1+ d - a)}{4(1- d+ a)}\)
= \(\frac{(d + a)^2 - 1}{4}\)
Now, Option 1): when det(X0) = 0, \(\frac{(d + a)^2 - 1}{4} = 0\) ⇒ (d + a)2 = 1,
which is possible.
Option 2): when det(X0) = 2, \(\frac{(d + a)^2 - 1}{4}\) = 2 ⇒ (d + a)2 = 9 ,
which is possible.
Option 3): when det(X0) = 6, \(\frac{(d + a)^2 - 1}{4}\) = 6 ⇒ (d + a)2 = 25,
which is possible.
Option 4) when det(X0) = 10, \(\frac{(d + a)^2 - 1}{4}\) = 10 ⇒ (d + a)2 = 41 ,
which is not possible.
Also, when A = \(\begin{bmatrix} -1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}\) and \(\begin{bmatrix} 1&-1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}\), X0 satisfying
AX0 - X0A = A.
Since A = \(\begin{bmatrix} -1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}\)
AX0 - X0A = A
⇒ \(\begin{bmatrix} -1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}\) \(\begin{bmatrix} a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}\) - \(\begin{bmatrix} a&b\\c&d\end{bmatrix}\)\(\begin{bmatrix} -1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} -1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ \(\begin{bmatrix} -a + c& -b + d\\a - c&b-d\end{bmatrix}\) - \(\begin{bmatrix} -a +b&a- b\\ -c + d&c - d\end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} -1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ \(\begin{bmatrix} -(b - c)&d - a\\-(d - a)&b - c\end{bmatrix}\) = \(\begin{bmatrix} -1&1\\1&-1\end{bmatrix}\)
⇒ b - c = - 1 & b - c = 1 , which is not possible.
Similarly, A = \(\begin{bmatrix} 1&-1\\-1&1\end{bmatrix}\) case does not give a solution X0.
The correct answer is option (4).
