Tutorial 2 Matrices 1. Solve for the following using these given matrices:

3 1 4 U = 2 0 1 , 1 2 2
(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) 2. 2U U+W 2U 3W UW WU (WU)T

1 0 2 W = 3 1 1 2 4 1

4 2 If we introduce matrix V = 6 4 , find, 8 6

(a) (b) (c) (UW)V VT(WU) Is UVW allowed?

3.

Given these matrices,

2 5 4 P = 3 1 2 , 5 4 6
(a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f)

0 0 Q= 0 2

2 3 0 4 5 0 1 0 3 0 1 3

Find det(P) along the first row of matrix P. Find det(P) along the second column of matrix P. Do you think the result for (a) and (b) would be the same? Find det(Q) along the first column of matrix Q. Find det(Q) along the first row of matrix Q. Which determinant is simpler to calculate? Question (d) or question (e)?
