7.3 Section Exercises

1.

A nonlinear system could be representative of two circles that overlap and intersect in two locations, hence two solutions. A nonlinear system could be representative of a parabola and a circle, where the vertex of the parabola meets the circle and the branches also intersect the circle, hence three solutions.

3.

No. There does not need to be a feasible region. Consider a system that is bounded by two parallel lines. One inequality represents the region above the upper line; the other represents the region below the lower line. In this case, no points in the plane are located in both regions; hence there is no feasible region.

1.

No, they must have the same dimensions. An example would include two matrices of different dimensions. One cannot add the following two matrices because the first is a $2 \times 2$ matrix and the second is a $2 \times 3$ matrix. $[\begin{matrix} 1 & 2 \\ 3 & 4 \end{matrix}] + [\begin{matrix} 6 & 5 & 4 \\ 3 & 2 & 1 \end{matrix}]$ has no sum.

3.

Yes, if the dimensions of $A$ are $m \times n$ and the dimensions of $B$ are $n \times m,$ both products will be defined.

5.

Not necessarily. To find $A B,$ we multiply the first row of $A$ by the first column of $B$ to get the first entry of $A B .$ To find $B A,$ we multiply the first row of $B$ by the first column of $A$ to get the first entry of $B A .$ Thus, if those are unequal, then the matrix multiplication does not commute.

7.6 Section Exercises

1.

Yes. For each row, the coefficients of the variables are written across the corresponding row, and a vertical bar is placed; then the constants are placed to the right of the vertical bar.

3.

No, there are numerous correct methods of using row operations on a matrix. Two possible ways are the following: (1) Interchange rows 1 and 2. Then $R_{2} = R_{2} −9 R_{1} .$ (2) $R_{2} = R_{1} −9 R_{2} .$ Then divide row 1 by 9.

7.7 Section Exercises

1.

If $A^{−1}$ is the inverse of $A,$ then $A A^{−1} = I,$ the identity matrix. Since $A$ is also the inverse of $A^{−1}, A^{−1} A = I .$ You can also check by proving this for a $2 \times 2$ matrix.

3.

No, because $a d$ and $b c$ are both 0, so $a d - b c = 0,$ which requires us to divide by 0 in the formula.

5.

Yes. Consider the matrix $[\begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{matrix}] .$ The inverse is found with the following calculation: $A^{−1} = \frac{1}{0 (0) −1 (1)} [\begin{matrix} 0 & −1 \\ −1 & 0 \end{matrix}] = [\begin{matrix} 0 & 1 \\ 1 & 0 \end{matrix}] .$
