Compute \(AB\) for \(A=\begin{pmatrix}1&0&2\\-1&3&1\end{pmatrix}\) and \(B=\begin{pmatrix}2&1\\0&4\\5&-2\end{pmatrix}\).
Question 11
***+
Show with a calculation that matrix multiplication is not commutative for \(A=\begin{pmatrix}1&1\\0&1\end{pmatrix}\), \(B=\begin{pmatrix}1&0\\1&1\end{pmatrix}\).
Question 12
***+
Explain why \(AI_3=A\) is valid when \(A\) is \(2\times3\), but \(AI_2\) is not defined.
Question 13
****
Find all real \(a\) for which \(A=\begin{pmatrix}2&a\\a+1&5\end{pmatrix}\) is symmetric.
Question 14
****
Let \(A\) be \(2\times3\), \(B\) be \(3\times2\), and \(C\) be \(2\times2\). Which of \(AB+C\), \(BA+C\), and \(AC\) are defined?
Question 15
****+
For what values of \(t\) is \(A=\begin{pmatrix}1&t\\3&2\end{pmatrix}\) such that \(A+A^T\) has equal off-diagonal entries?
Question 16
****+
Find the condition on \(a,b,c\) for \(\begin{pmatrix}a&b\\0&c\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}1\\1\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}5\\2\end{pmatrix}\).
Question 17
****+
For which sizes of \(A\) can both \(AI_4\) and \(I_3A\) be defined? Determine the size of \(A\).
Question 18
*****
Diagnose the error: a learner computes \(\begin{pmatrix}1&2\end{pmatrix}\begin{pmatrix}3&4\end{pmatrix}=\begin{pmatrix}3&8\end{pmatrix}\) by multiplying entries position by position.
Question 19
*****
Prove using entry reasoning that \((A+B)^T=A^T+B^T\) for matrices of the same size.
Question 20
*****
A physics transformation sends \(\begin{pmatrix}x\\y\end{pmatrix}\) to \(\begin{pmatrix}2x-y\\x+3y\end{pmatrix}\). Find its matrix and explain why the order of entries matters.
