Explanation of Solution

a.

Proof:

Consider a 1×1 matrix,

A=[a]

Then, det(A)=a

Now, we have

A=[a]

Then, we get

det(A)=a             =det(A)

Similarly consider a 3×3 matrix as given below:

A=[a     b     c0     d     e0     f   

Explanation of Solution

b.

Proof:

Let us consider a  2×2 matrix as given below:

A=[a     bc     d]

Then, we get det(A)=adbc

Now, we have

A=[a    -bc    -d]

Then, we get

det(A)=adbc             =det(A)

Similarly consider a 4×4 matrix as,

A=[a     b     c      d0     e      f      g0     h      0    �

Explanation of Solution

Generalize the results of part (a.) and (b.):

From part a.) and part b.), we conclude that

For any n×n matrix,

det(A)=det(

. The determinant of an n X n matrix can be used in solving systems of linear equations, as well as for other purposes. The determinant of A can be defined in terms of minors and cofactors. The minor of element aj is the determinant of the (n – 1) X (n – 1) matrix obtained from A by crossing out the elements in row i and column j; denote this minor by Mj. The cofactor of element aj, denoted by Cj. is defined by Cy = (-1y**Mg The determinant of A is computed by multiplying all the elements in some fixed row of A by their respective cofactors and summing the results. For example, if the first row is used, then the determi- nant of A is given by Σ (α(CI) k=1 Write a program that, when given n and the entries in an n Xn array A as input, computes the deter- minant of A. Use a recursive algorithm.
USING PYTHON A tridiagonal matrix is one where the only nonzero elements are the ones on the main diagonal (i.e., ai,j where j = i) and the ones immediately above and belowit(i.e.,ai,j wherej=i+1orj=i−1). Write a function that solves a linear system whose coefficient matrix is tridiag- onal. In this case, Gauss elimination can be made much more efficient because most elements are already zero and don’t need to be modified or added. Please show steps and explain.
Let A be an m × n matrix with m > n.   (a) What is the maximum number of nonzero singular values that A can have?   (b) If rank(A) = k, how many nonzero singular values does A have?
