If needed, use the back or the next empty page for work. If you need additional paper, write your name on it. • Do not detach pages from this exam packet or un-staple the packet. • Please write neatly. Answers which are illegible for the grader can not be given credit. • No notes, books, calculators, computers, or other electronic aids can be allowed. • You have 90 minutes time to complete your work.Problem 1) (20 points) True or False? No justifications are needed.1)T FIf A is a non-invertible n × n matrix, then det(A) 6= det(rref(A)).2)T FIf the rows of a square matrix form an orthonormal basis, then the columnsmust also form an orthonormal basis.3)T FA 3 × 3 matrix A for which the sum of the first two columns is the thirdcolumn has zero determinant.4)T FA 2 × 2 rotation matrix A 6= I2does not have any real eigenvalues.5)T FIf A and B both have ~v as an eigenvector, then ~v is an eigenvector of AB.6)T FIf A and B both have λ as an eigenvalue, then λ is an eigenvalue of AB.7)T FSimilar matrices have the same eigenvect ors.8)T FIf a 3 × 3 matrix A has 3 independent eigenvectors, then A is similar to adiagonal matrix.9)T FIf a square matrix A has non-trivial ker nel, then 0 is an eigenvalue of A.10)T FIf the rank of an n × n matrix A is less than n, then 0 is an eigenvalue of A.11)T FTwo diagonalizable matrices whose eigenvalues are equal must be similar.12)T FA square matrix A is diagonalizable if and only is A2is diagonalizable.13)T FIf a square matrix A is diagonalizable, then (AT)2is diagonalizable.14)T FThe matrices"3 20 3#and"3 00 3#are similar.15)T FThere exist matrices A with k distinct eigenvalues whose rank is strictlyless than k.16)T FIf A is an n × n matrix which satisfies Ak= 0 for some positive integer k,then all the eigenvalues of A are 0.17)T FIf a 3 × 3 matrix A satisfies A2= I3and A is diagonalizable, then A mustbe similar to the identity matrix.18)T FA and AThave the same eigenvectors.19)T FThe least squares solution of a system A~x =~b is unique if and only ifker(A) = 0.20)T FThe matrix1 1000 1 11000 1 1 11 1 1 10001 1 1000 1is invertible.2Problem 2) (10 points)Match the following matrices with the correct label.
