Algebra 2019

This document contains two final exams for an advanced algebra course. Each exam has 4 problems worth 2.5 points each. Problem I involves determining a set M for different values of n and proving another representation of M. Problem II gives matrices A and B and tasks like finding X such that AX = B and values of a and b where B is not in the column space of A. Problem III defines a linear map f and tasks involving finding a basis of its image and solving/finding the least squares solution to a system Ax = B. Problem IV involves transforming a quadratic form to canonical form and finding a matrix P to diagonalize another matrix related to the quadratic form.
