1 Show that for a square matrix the linear dependence of the row vectors implies that of
the column vectors and conversely. Show that for a non square matrix either the row RF1006A
vectors or the column vectors must always be L.D 01

2 Prove that the product of two orthogonal matrices is orthogonal, and so is the inverse of
an orthogonal matrix. What does this mean in terms of rotations?

3 Prove that the product of the two unitary matrices (of the same size) and the inverse of a
unitary matrix areunitary. Give examples. Powers of unitary matrices occurring in RF1006A
applications may sometimes be familiar real matrices 03

4 Prove the following statements and illustrate them with examples of your own choice

(a) If A is a real matrix , its eigen values are real or complex conjugates in pairs.

(b) Inverse of matrix A exists if and only if 0 is not an eigen value of A.
