Lecture - 1 F: Matrix Product Continued....

This document summarizes key concepts about matrix multiplication from a linear algebra lecture. It provides examples of how properties of matrices relate to their products. Specifically, it discusses: 1) If two matrices A and B satisfy Ax=Bx for all vectors x, then A=B. 2) An upper triangular matrix A satisfies A*A=AA* only if it is diagonal. A similar result holds for lower triangular matrices. 3) Constructing a 2x2 matrix A that satisfies A^2=A. 4) Properties of matrix products AB that relate to rows or columns of A and B being equal or zero.

Lecture -1 F : Matrix Product Continued.....

1 Matrix Product Continued


Example 1.1. 1. Let A, B 2 Mm,n (R) such that Ax = Bx, for all x 2 Rn . Then A = B

2. Let A be an upper triangular matrix. If A⇤ A = AA⇤ then prove that A is a diagonal matrix.
A similar result holds if A is a lower triangular matrix.

3. Want to construct a 2 ⇥ 2 matrix satisfying A2 = A.


2

4. Let A 2 Mm,n (C) and B 2 Mn,p (C).

(a) If A[1, :] = 0T then (AB)[1, :] = 0T .

(b) If B[:, 1] = 0 then (AB)[:, 1] = 0.

(c) If A[1, :] = A[3, :] then (AB)[1, :] = A[1 :, ]B = A[3, :]B = (AB)[3, :].

(d) If B[:, 1] = B[:, 2] then (AB)[:, 1] = AB[:, 1] = AB[:, 2] = (AB)[:, 2].

(e) If A[1, :] = ↵A[2, :] + A[3, :] + A[7, :], for some ↵, , 2 C then

(AB)[1, :] = ↵(AB)[2, :] + (AB)[3, :] + (AB)[7, :].

(f) If B[:, 1] = ↵B[:, 2] + B[:, 3] + B[:, 5], for some ↵, , 2 C then

(AB)[:, 1] = ↵(AB)[:, 2] + (AB)[:, 3] + (AB)[:, 5].
