Let V = R^2×2 be the vector space of 2-by-2 matrices with real entries over
the scalar field R. We can define a function L on V by
L : V is sent to V
L = A maps to A^T ,
so that L is the “transpose operator.” The inner product of two matrices B in R^n×n and C in R^n×n is usually defined to be
<B,C> := trace (BC^T) ,
and we will use this as our inner product on V . Thus when we talk about
elements B,C in V being orthogonal, it means that <B,C> := trace (BC^T) = 0.
Problem 1.
1. First show that L is linear, so that L in B (V ).
2. Now choose a basis for the vector space V = R^2×2, and find the matrix of
L with respect to your basis.

Two chemicals A and B are combined to form a chemical C. The rate of the reaction is proportional to the product of the instantaneous amounts of A and B not converted to chemical C. Initially there are 25 grams of A and 53 grams of B, and for each gram of B, 1.2 grams of A is used. It has been observed that 19.5 grams of C is formed in 15 minutes. How much is formed in 30 minutes? What is the limiting amount of C after a long time ?

_____ grams of C are formed in 30 minutes

_____ grams is the limiting amount of C after a long time

Developing filters using convolution theorem and Fourier Transform.

You have been hired as an Engineering Mathematician at a consulting firm located in Saint Louis. On your first job, you have been asked to mathematically design a frequency filter that removes from a standard beacon signal a periodic interference generated by a rotatory machine located in the basement of the company. Please see below for more details: Let s(t) be the standard beacon signal that is being communicated. Below you can find its Fourier Series representation ?(?)=2.5+2 sin(?)+3cos(t)+0.5cos(2?)+ 0.3 sin (2?). The periodic interference is given by ?(?)=0.5 cos (120 ?) and the measurement signal with noise is given as follows: ?(?)=?(?)+?(?) Let g( t) be the filter function and let ? Z(?) be the function that results from applying ? (?) to ?(?). Using the Fourier transform of the convolution theorem, propose the design of a filtering function g(t) which removes from ?(?) the effect of the periodic noise ?(?) assuming that we only know that its fundamental period is equal to 2pi/120. Make sure to write the analytical expression of ?(?) and its Fourier transform. Also, please write the mathematical expression that relates ? Z(?) as a function of ?(?)and ?(?)
