Assignment1 Matlab

This document provides instructions for Assignment 1, which is due on May 22 before 3 pm. Students must submit two printouts of the assignment with their names and tutorial information filled in. Failing to properly attribute group work or falsely attributing work will be considered academic misconduct. The assignment requires using Matlab to solve several linear systems algebraically and numerically. Students must use the diary function to record their work, clearly label the questions, and submit a printout of the diary file. The problems include solving linear systems by row reduction, using matrix inversion to solve one system, and verifying properties of upper triangular matrices through examples.

The purpose of this assignment is for you to develop some familiarity with the Matlab software; all questions
are to be done using Matlab; where warranted you may have to finish up the question by writing some
conclusion/giving the solution based on the Matlab computation.
Use the diary set-up for this assignment (see posted intro to Matlab), and clearly label the questions
you are doing; make sure your answers to the questions are explicit. Your assignment submission has to be a
print of the diary file you will create.

1. (1 mark each) Solve the following linear systems (if possible, if not state why the system is
inconsistent), by row reduction:

(a)

2. (2 marks) Solve the system in 1(a) above by the method of matrix inversion. Can you use this
method to solve the system in 1(b)? Justify your answer.
3. (0.5 marks each) Verify the following properties, using any distinct, invertible A, B, 4 4 upper
triangular matrices of your choice:
(a) The inverse of an upper triangular matrix is upper triangular;
(b) (AB)1 = B 1 A1 ;
(c) trace(AB) = trace(BA);
(d) det(AB) = det(BA).
(BONUS 1 mark) Give an example of matrices A, B such that det(AB) 6= det(BA).
