Directions: You may work to solve these problems in groups, but all written work must be your own. Show all work; no credit for solutions without work.

  1. [5.8.8] Let A = [ 2 1 4 5 ] and let 𝐱0 = [ 1 0 ]. Execute the power method to generate 𝐱k and μk for k = 0,,4, keeping 3 decimal places. What is the estimated eigenvalue/eigenvector pair?
  2. Let 𝐮 = [ 1 2 3 4 ]T and 𝐯 = [ 1 1 2 2 ]T . Find a scalar α and a vector 𝐰 such that 𝐮 = α𝐯 + 𝐰 and 𝐰 is orthogonal to 𝐯.
  3. [6.1.22] Let 𝐮 = [ u1 u2 u3 ] T . Explain why 𝐮 𝐮 0 directly from the definition of the dot product. When is 𝐮 𝐮 = 0?
  4. [6.1.24] Verify the parallelogram law for 𝐮 and 𝐯 in n: ||𝐮 + 𝐯||2 + ||𝐮 𝐯||2 = 2||𝐮||2 + 2||𝐯||2.
  5. [6.1.19] True/False. Justify your answers.

    1. 𝐯 𝐯 = ||𝐯||2
    2. For any scalar c, 𝐮 (c𝐯) = c(𝐮 𝐯).
    3. If the distance from 𝐮 to 𝐯 equals the distance from 𝐮 to 𝐯, then 𝐮 and 𝐯 are orthogonal.
    4. For a square matrix A, vectors in ColA are orthogonal to vectors in NulA.
    5. If vectors 𝐯1,,𝐯p span a subspace W and if 𝐱 is orthogonal to each 𝐯j for j {1,,p}, then 𝐱 is in W.
