- Suppose that A is a 6 x 6 matrix that can be written as a
product of matrices A = BC where B is 6 x 4 and C is 4 x 6. Prove
that A is not invertible.
- An economist builds a Leontief input-output model for the
interaction between the mining and energy sectors of a local
economy using the following assumptions:
- In order to produce 1 million dollars of output, the mining
sector requires 0.1 million dollars of input from the mining sector
and 0.5 million dollars of input from the energy sector.
- In order to produce 1 million dollars of output, the energy
sector requires 0.6 million dollars of input from the mining sector
and 0.2 million dollars of input from the energy sector.
(a) Construct the consumption matrix C
for this model.
(b) Compute the matrix (I – C) 1.
(c) Find the equilibrium production level when the final demand
is d = (10, 40).
(d) Also compute the equilibrium production levels
for final demands (1, 0) and (11, 40).
(f) In light of your answers to parts (c), (d), and (e) above,
interpret the entries in
the matrix (I – C) 1.
(g) Suppose that due to the growth of green energy companies,
the energy sector requires only 0.3 million dollars of input from
the mining sector. Compute the new consumption matrix C* and then
new (I – C*) 1. Interpret the entries of the inverse
matrix and compare to your answer to part (f) to explain how the
change in the energy sector will affect this economy. .
- Let L be a line in R2 defined by y = mx + b. That
is, L has y-intercept (0, b) and slope m. In this problem, you will
consider different cases for the line L and and how to reflect
points in that line. You do not need to multiply out the products
to a single matrix; you can simply leave your answer as a few
matrices multiplied together
- Suppose that L is the x-axis.
- What is m? What is b?
- Find a 3x3 matrix that when multiplied with a point (x, y) in
homogeneous coordinates will give its image under a reflection in
the line L.
- Suppose that L does not intersect the x-axis.
- What is m?
- Find a 3 x 3 matrix that will translate L to the x-axis. Since
we don’t know what b is (other than b 6 ≠ 0), the matrix will have
to include the unknown b.
- Find another 3 x 3 matrix that will translate the x-axis to L.
Again, this matrix will have to include b.
- Find a product of 3 x 3 matrices that when multiplied with a
point (x, y) in homogeneous coordinates will give its image under a
reflection in the line L.
- Now suppose that L does intersect the x-axis, does so at the
origin, and does so at an angle of θ (measured from the positive
direction).
- What is b? By trigonometry, m = tan(θ).
- Find a 3 x 3 matrix that will rotate the line L to the
x-axis.
- Find another 3 x 3 matrix that will rotate the x-axis to the
line L.
- Find a product of 3 x 3 matrices that when multiplied with a
point (x, y) in homogeneous coordinates will give its image under a
reflection in the line L.
- Finally, suppose that L does intersect the x-axis, but not at
the origin, and does so at an angle of θ (measured from the
positive direction). Find a product of 3x3 matrices that when
multiplied with a point (x, y) in homogeneous coordinates will give
its image under a reflection in the line L.
- Let A be an n x n invertible matrix. Prove that
det(A-1 ) = 1/ det(A)
