E1
EasyAre (1, 2) and (2, 4) linearly independent?
💡 Is one a scalar multiple of the other?
👁 Show Solution
(2, 4) = 2 × (1, 2). They are linearly dependent. ✅ Answer: No (dependent)
✅No
E2
MediumFor A = [[2, 0], [0, 3]], find an eigenvector with λ = 3.
💡 A diagonal matrix has standard basis as eigenvectors.
👁 Show Solution
A(0, 1) = (0, 3) = 3 × (0, 1). So (0, 1) is an eigenvector with λ = 3. ✅ Answer: (0, 1)
✅(0, 1)
E3
ChallengingTrace of A = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6], [7, 8, 9]]:
💡 Trace = sum of diagonal entries.
👁 Show Solution
1 + 5 + 9 = 15. ✅ Answer: 15
✅15
