exercise.6.2.6
Find the matrix for $T(\mathbf{w})=\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{v}}(\mathbf{w})$, where $\mathbf{v}=[1,-2,3]^{T}$.
Recall that the desired matrix has $i^{\text {th }}$ column equal to $\operatorname{proj}_{\mathbf{u}}\left(\mathbf{e}_{i}\right)=\frac{\mathbf{u} \cdot \mathbf{e}_{i}}{\|\mathbf{u}\|^{2}} \mathbf{u}$. Therefore, the matrix is $$ \frac{1}{14}\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 1 & -2 & 3 \\ -2 & 4 & -6 \\ 3 & -6 & 9 \end{array}\right] $$

Let $V$ be a 5-dimensional vector space. If you have 5 linearly independent vectors in $V$, can you conclude that the vectors span $V$ ?
Yes, because the set of 5 linearly independent vectors can be extended to a basis $B$ of $V$. But since $V$ is 5-dimensional, $B$ has only 5 elements, which must be the original 5 vectors.

Let $\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w}$ be linearly independent vectors in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. Are the vectors $\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{w}$, and $\mathbf{w}+\mathbf{v}$ linearly independent?
From $a(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v})+b(\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{w})+c(\mathbf{w}+\mathbf{v})=\mathbf{0}$ we get $(a+b) \mathbf{u}+(a+c) \mathbf{v}+(b+c) \mathbf{w}=\mathbf{0}$. Since $\mathbf{u}, \mathbf{v}, \mathbf{w}$ are linearly independent, this last system has only the trivial solution, so $a+b=0, a+c=0$, and $b+c=0$. Solving, we find the unique solution $(a, b, c)=(0,0,0)$. So the vectors $\mathbf{u}+\mathbf{v}, \mathbf{u}+\mathbf{w}$, and $\mathbf{w}+\mathbf{v}$ are linearly independent.

Consider the system $-5 x+2 y-z=0$ and $-5 x-2 y-z=0$. Both equations equal zero and so $-5 x+2 y-z=-5 x-2 y-z$ which is equivalent to $y=0$. Does it follow that $x$ and $z$ can equal anything? Notice that when $x=1, z=-4$, and $y=0$ are plugged in to the equations, the equations do not equal 0 . Why?

exercise.11.2.6
Suppose $B=\left\{\mathbf{u}_{1}, \mathbf{u}_{2}, \mathbf{u}_{3}\right\}$ is an orthogonal basis of $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We have been told that $$ \mathbf{u}_{1}=\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 1 \\ 0 \end{array}\right], $$ but it is not known what $\mathbf{u}_{2}$ and $\mathbf{u}_{3}$ are. Find the first coordinate of the vector $$ \mathbf{v}=\left[\begin{array}{l} 1 \\ 0 \\ 2 \end{array}\right] $$ with respect to the basis $B$.
We have $\mathbf{v}=a_{1} \mathbf{u}_{1}+a_{2} \mathbf{u}_{2}+a_{3} \mathbf{u}_{3}$ where $a_{1}=\frac{\left\langle\mathbf{u}_{1}, \mathbf{v}\right\rangle}{\left\langle\mathbf{u}_{1}, \mathbf{u}_{1}\right\rangle}=\frac{1}{2}$. So the first coordinate is $\frac{1}{2}$.

The eigenvectors and eigenvalues are: $$ \left\{\left[\begin{array}{l} -6 \\ -1 \\ -2 \end{array}\right]\right\} \leftrightarrow 6,\left\{\left[\begin{array}{c} -5 \\ -2 \\ 2 \end{array}\right]\right\} \leftrightarrow-3,\left\{\left[\begin{array}{c} -8 \\ -2 \\ 3 \end{array}\right]\right\} \leftrightarrow-2 $$ The matrix $P$ needed to diagonalize the above matrix is $$ \left[\begin{array}{rrr} -6 & -5 & -8 \\ -1 & -2 & -2 \\ 2 & 2 & 3 \end{array}\right] $$ and the diagonal matrix $D$ is $$ \left[\begin{array}{rrr} 6 & 0 & 0 \\ 0 & -3 & 0 \\ 0 & 0 & -2 \end{array}\right]

Consider the matrix $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{ccc} e^{t} & e^{-t} \cos t & e^{-t} \sin t \\ e^{t} & -e^{-t} \cos t-e^{-t} \sin t & -e^{-t} \sin t+e^{-t} \cos t \\ e^{t} & 2 e^{-t} \sin t & -2 e^{-t} \cos t \end{array}\right] $$ Does there exist a value of $t$ for which this matrix fails to have an inverse? Explain.
$$ \operatorname{det}\left[\begin{array}{ccc} e^{t} & e^{-t} \cos t & e^{-t} \sin t \\ e^{t} & -e^{-t} \cos t-e^{-t} \sin t & -e^{-t} \sin t+e^{-t} \cos t \\ e^{t} & 2 e^{-t} \sin t & -2 e^{-t} \cos t \end{array}\right]=5 e^{-t} \neq 0 $$ and so this matrix is always invertible.

exercise.3.1.9
An operation is done to get from the first matrix to the second. Identify what was done and tell how it will affect the value of the determinant. $$ \left[\begin{array}{ll} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right] \rightarrow \cdots \rightarrow\left[\begin{array}{ll} a & c \\ b & d \end{array}\right] $$
It does not change the determinant. This was just taking the transpose.

Let $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{rr} 2 & 1 \\ -1 & 3 \end{array}\right] $$ Find $A^{-1}$ if possible. If $A^{-1}$ does not exist, explain why.
$\left[\begin{array}{rr}2 & 1 \\ -1 & 3\end{array}\right]^{-1}=\left[\begin{array}{rr}\frac{3}{7} & -\frac{1}{7} \\ \frac{1}{7} & \frac{2}{7}\end{array}\right]$
