Quiz 6: There is one question for each of the 8 topics from week 6. The time limit is 1 hour and you only get one try so make sure you have your notes and the week 6 slides handy. Good luck!

Question 1

Find the permutation matrix P such that

P[acbd]=[cadb]

Question 2

What is the rank of the matrix

⎡⎣12625−3321⎤⎦

Question 3

Let X be an m×n matrix and let H=X(XTX)−1XT (assume that X is full rank so that (XTX)−1 exists). Give an expression for HT in terms of the matrix X. Simplify your answer.

[Hint: write X^(T) for the transpose of X]

Question 4

Let X be an m×n matrix and let H=X(XTX)−1XT (assume that X is full rank so that (XTX)−1 exists). Give an expression for H2 in terms of the matrix X. Simplify your answer.

[Hint: write X^(T) for the transpose of X]

Question 5

Classify the following vector pairs as orthonormal, orthogonal, or only independent.

(a)[10]&[−11](b)[.6.8]&[.4−.3](c)[cos(θ)sin(θ)]&[−sin(θ)cos(θ)]

Answer the question by entering the letters a, b, and c (each once) separated by spaces. The order should be the orthonormal pair, the orthogonal pair, the independent pair.

Question 6

Let

X=[1391216]U=[.8−.6.6.8]Σ=[50025]V=[10.6.8]

Is X=UΣVT the singular value factorization of X?

Question 7

Let A=SΛS−1 be the factorization of A into its eigenvectors and eigenvalues where

Λ=⎡⎣⎢⎢a0000b0000c0000d⎤⎦⎥⎥

What is the largest eigenvalue of A7?

Question 8

Use calculus to find the slope of the line through the origin (i.e., y=mx) that minimizes the squared distance to the points (1,1), (2,3), (4,2). What is the slope m rounded to 2 significant digits?
