Re-Imaging the World through Linear Algebra


Dr. Malena Español - Victoria Uribe

Name

1. Use the vectors u = (u1 , . . . , un ), v = (v1 , . . . , vn ), and w = (w1 , . . . , wn ) to verify the following
algebraic properties of Rn .

a. (u + v) + w = u + (v + w)
b. k(u + v) = ku + kv for each scalar k.

2. Use the vector u = (u1 , . . . , un ) to verify the following algebraic properties of Rn .

a. u + (−u) = (−u) + u = 0
b. k(k 0 u) = (kk 0 )u for all scalars k and k 0 .

3. Consider the vectors u = (2, −7, 1), v = (−3, 0, 4), and w = (0, 5, −8). Compute a.) 3u − 4v
and b.) 2u + 3v − 5w.

4. Verify that the vectors u = (−1, 0, 1), v = (2, 4, 2), and w = (3, −3, 3) are orthogonal to each
other.

5. Compute the Euclidean norm of the vectors u = (−1, 0, 1) and v = (2, 4, 2) and the distance
between them.

6. The 1-norm of a real vector is defined by kvk1 = ni=1 |vi |. Compute the 1-norm of the vectors
P
u = (1, 2, 3) and v = (3, 2, 1).

7. The ∞-norm of a real vector is defined by kvk∞ = maxi |vi |. Compute the ∞-norm of the
vectors u = (1, 2, 3) and v = (3, 2, 1).

8. Decide which of the following statements are TRUE and which are FALSE. For the TRUE
ones, you have to give a proof. For the FALSE ones, you have to give a counterexample. Here
we are considering u = (u1 , . . . , un ), v = (v1 , . . . , vn ), and [u, v] = (u1 , . . . , un , v1 , . . . , vn ) is
the vector formed by concatenating them.

a. kuk1 + kvk1 = k[u, v]k1


b. kuk22 + kvk22 = k[u, v]k22
c. kuk∞ + kvk∞ = k[u, v]k∞

9. Compute the following:      


1 2 1 0 5 1
4 − −2 .
4 6 −1 0 4 3

10. Find the values of x, y, z, and w so that the following matrix equality holds:
     
x y x 6 4 x+y
3 = + .
z w −1 2w z+w 3
