Exercise 9

Avg difficulty 3.0

Match each type of matrix with all these descriptions that could fit, say ‘None’ if it applies: (i) can be multiplied by its transpose to make a 1 ⁣× ⁣11\!\times\!1 matrix, (ii) can represent a linear map from R3\mathbb{R}^{3} to R2\mathbb{R}^{2} that is not onto, (iii) can represent an isomorphism from R3\mathbb{R}^{3} to P2\mathcal{P}^{2}.

  • a 2 ⁣× ⁣32\!\times\!3 matrix whose rank is 11

  • a 3 ⁣× ⁣33\!\times\!3 matrix that is nonsingular

  • a 2 ⁣× ⁣22\!\times\!2 matrix that is singular

  • an n ⁣× ⁣1n\!\times\!1 column vector
