Question

Exercise 4.1 (a) Use MATLAB to compute the determinants of the following matrices: A+B, A B, AB,A1,BT Recall: In MATLAB the transpose of a matrix is denoted with an apostrophe; i.c. BT is given by the command ?' (b) Which of the above matrices are NOT invertible? Explain your reasoning Now we know the determinants of A and B, but suppose that we lost our original matrices A and B. Which of the determinants in part (a) will we still be able to recover, even without having A or B at hand? Explain your reasoning. 9)

Explanation / Answer

Solution:

a)

The commands are

>> X= A-B

>> det(X)

>> X= A+B

>> det(X)

>> X= A. B

>> det(X)

b)

det of matrices A.B and BT is not possible since they are changing the dimension of the current matrix.

c)

Ainverse will be able to recover the matrices.
