LINEAR INDEPENDENCESlide 1.7- 5

Definition: An indexed set of vectors {v1, …, vp} in

is said to be linearly independent if the vector equation

has only the trivial solution. The set {v1, …, vp} is said to be linearly dependent if there exist weights c1, …, cp, not all zero, such that

Slide 1.7- 6

Equation (1) is called a linear dependence relation among v1, …, vp when the weights are not all zero.

An indexed set is linearly dependent if and only if it is not linearly independent.

Slide 1.7- 8Row operations on the associated

augmented matrix show that

.

x1 and x2 are basic variables, and x3 is free.

Each nonzero value of x3 determines a nontrivial solution of (1).

Hence, v1, v2, v3 are linearly dependent.

RemarksThis product is called the dot product

because of the dot in the notation a ∙ b.a ∙ b is a scalar, not a vector. Sometimes the dot product is called the scalar

product.In the example of finding work done, it

makes no sense for θ to be greater than π/2, but in our general definition we allow θ to be any angle from 0 to π.

Example

If the vectors a and b have lengths 4 and 6, and the angle between them is π/3, find a ∙ b.

Solution According to the definition,

a ∙ b = |a||b| cos(π/3) = 4 ∙ 6 ∙ ½ = 12

Perpendicular Vectors

Two nonzero vectors a and b are called perpendicular or orthogonal if the angle between them is θ = π/2.

For such vectors we have

a ∙ b = |a||b| cos(π/2) = 0Conversely, if a ∙ b = 0, then cos θ = 0, so

θ = π/2.

Perpendicular Vectors (cont’d)Since the zero vector 0 is considered to be

perpendicular to all vectors, we have

Further, by properties of the cosine, a ∙ b is positive for θ < π/2, and negative for θ > π/2,

as the next slide illustrates:

Perpendicular Vectors (cont’d)

Perpendicular Vectors (cont’d)We can think of a ∙ b as measuring the

extent to which a and b point in the same general direction.

The dot product a ∙ b is… positive if a and b point in the same general

direction, 0 if they are perpendicular, and negative if they point in generally opposite

directions.

Example

Find the angle between

and since

a ∙ b = 2(5) + 2(– 3) + (– 1)(2) = 2,the definition of dot product gives

Vectors

Length and direction. Absolute position not important

Use to store offsets, displacements, locations But strictly speaking, positions are not vectors and cannot

be added: a location implicitly involves an origin, while an offset does not.

5.2 Expansion by CofactorsDefinition 1: Given a matrix A, a minor is the determinant of any square submatrix of A.

Definition 2: Given a matrix A=[aij] , the cofactor of the element aij is a scalar obtained by multiplying together the term (-1)i+j and the minor obtained from A by removing the ith row and the jth column.

In other words, the cofactor Cij is given by Cij = (1)i+jMij.

5.2 Expansion by CofactorsTo find the determinant of a matrix A of arbitrary order,

a) Pick any one row or any one column of the matrix;

b) For each element in the row or column chosen, find its cofactor;

c) Multiply each element in the row or column chosen by its cofactor and sum the results. This sum is the determinant of the matrix.

5.3 Properties of determinantsProperty 1: If one row of a matrix consists entirely of zeros, then the determinant is zero.

Property 2: If two rows of a matrix are interchanged, the determinant changes sign.

Property 3: If two rows of a matrix are identical, the determinant is zero.

Property 4: If the matrix B is obtained from the matrix A by multiplying every element in one row of A by the scalar λ, then |B|= λ|A|.

Property 5: For an n n matrix A and any scalar λ, det(λA)= λndet(A).

5.3 Properties of determinants

Property 6: If a matrix B is obtained from a matrix A by adding to one row of A, a scalar times another row of A, then |A|=|B|.

Property 7: det(A) = det(AT).

Property 8: The determinant of a triangular matrix, either upper or lower, is the product of the elements on the main diagonal.

Property 9: If A and B are of the same order, then det(AB)=det(A)

det(B).

5.5 Inversion

Theorem 1: A square matrix has an inverse if and only if its determinant is not zero.

Below we develop a method to calculate the inverse of nonsingular matrices using determinants.

Definition 1: The cofactor matrix associated with an n n matrix A is an n n matrix Ac obtained from A by replacing each element of A by its cofactor.

Definition 2: The adjugate of an n n matrix A is the transpose of the cofactor matrix of A: Aa = (Ac)T

Therefore,rank is not 4 !Example:

Rank and singular matrices

Review on “rank”

“row-rank of a matrix” counts the max. number of linearly independent rows.

“column-rank of a matrix” counts the max. number of linearly independent columns.

One application: Given a large system of linear equations, count the number of essentially different equations. The number of essentially different equations is just

the row-rank of the augmented matrix.

Column-Rank = 2

Theorem

Given any matrix, its row-rank and column-rank are equal.

In view of this property, we can just say the “rank of a matrix”. It means either the row-rank of column-rank.

kshumENGG2013

71

Why row-rank = column-rank?

If some column vectors are linearly dependent, they remain linearly dependent after any elementary row operation

For example, are linearly dependent

kshumENGG2013

72

Why row-rank = column-rank?

Any row operation does not change the column- rank.

By the same argument, apply to the transpose of the matrix, we conclude that any column operation does not change the row-rank as well.

A solution of such a system is an ordered pair which is a solution of each equation in the system.

Example: The ordered pair (4, 1) is a solution of the system since

3(4) + 2(1) = 14 and 2(4) – 5(1) = 3.

A set of linear equations in two variables is called a system of linear equations.

3x + 2y = 14

2x + 5y = 3

Example: The ordered pair (0, 7) is not a solution of the system

since

3(0) + 2(7) = 14 but 2(0) – 5(7) = – 35, not 3.

1. From the second equation obtain x = 3y – 3.

3. Solve for y to obtain y = 2.

4. Substitute 2 for y in x = 3y – 3 and conclude x = 3. The solution is (3, 2).

2. Substitute this expression for x into the first equation.

2(3y –3) + y = 8

83To solve a system by the addition (or elimination) method:

1. Multiply either or both equations by nonzero constants to obtain opposite coefficients for one of the variables in the system.

2. Add the equations to produce an equation in one variable. Solve this equation.

3. Substitute the value of the variable found in Step 2 into either of the original equations to obtain another equation in one variable. Solve this equation.

4. Check the solution.

1. From the first equation obtain y = 2x – 10.

2. Substitute 2x – 10 for y into the second equation to produce 4x – 2(2x – 10) = 8.

3. Attempt to solve for x.4x – 2(2x – 10) = 84x – 4x + 20 = 820 = 8 False statement

Because there are no values of x and y for which 20 equals 8, this system has no solutions.

Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors

The vector v is an eigenvector of matrix A and λ is an eigenvalue of A if:

Interpretation: the linear transformation implied by A cannot change the direction of the eigenvectors v, only their magnitude.

(assume non-zero v)

Computing λ and v

To find the eigenvalues λ of a matrix A, find the roots of the characteristic polynomial:

Example:

Properties

Eigenvalues and eigenvectors are only defined for square matrices (i.e., m = n)

Eigenvectors are not unique (e.g., if v is an eigenvector, so is kv)

Suppose λ1, λ2, ..., λn are the eigenvalues of A, then:

Properties (cont’d)

xTAx > 0 for every

Matrix diagonalization

Given A, find P such that P-1AP is diagonal (i.e., P diagonalizes A)

Take P = [v1 v2 . . . vn], where v1,v2 ,. . . vn are

the eigenvectors of A:

Matrix diagonalization (cont’d)

Example:

Only if P-1 exists (i.e., A must have n linearly independent eigenvectors, that is, rank(A)=n)

If A has n distinct eigenvalues λ1, λ2, ..., λn , then the corresponding eigevectors v1,v2 ,. . . vn form a basis:

(1) linearly independent (2) span Rn

Are all n x n matrices diagonalizable?

Diagonalization Decomposition

Let us assume that A is diagonalizable, then:

Decomposition: symmetric matrices

• The eigenvalues of symmetric matrices are all real.

• The eigenvectors corresponding to distinct eigenvalues are orthogonal.

Domain and RangeFunctions have an independent variable (often x) and a dependent variable (often y).

In this discussion we are going to use x for the independent variable and y for the dependent variable, but we could use other letters.

domain: The set of all possible x values for a function.

range: The set of all possible y values for a function.

We can specify the domain of a function, or we can look at the nature of the function to determine the natural domain of the function.

Example:

Find the domain and range of: 1f x

x

When finding the domain, it is often easier to think of what values that we cannot use for x.

In this case, x cannot equal zero. The domain is:

,0 0,D or 0D x x

We usually use interval notation.

These are open intervals (with parentheses) because we don’t count the zero. Also notice the symbol for union.

This is set builder notation.

Another example:

Find the domain and range of: y x

Since we cannot take the square root of a negative number, the domain is:

This is a half-open interval.

We use a square bracket on the left boundary point because we count the zero. (The interval is closed at zero.)

When infinity is a boundary, it is always an open interval on that end, with parentheses.

Looking at the graph, we see that there are no negative y values, so the range is:

SymmetryWhen we graph the function , we see that it hasy-axis symmetry.

2y x

When we square the x, any negative sign cancels out, so changing the sign of x does not change the y value.

Any polynomial function with only even exponents behaves the same way, and has y-axis symmetry.

Piecewise FunctionsWhile many functions can be defined by a single formula, others are

defined by applying different formulas to different parts of their domains.

Just graph each piece separately, for each part of the domain.

(F) Continuity and Differentiability – Online Examples

Follow this link to One-sided derivatives from IES Software

And then follow this link to Investigating Differentiability of Piecewise Functions from D. Hill (Temple U.) and L. Roberts (Georgia College and State University

(G) Continuity and Differentiability

One other point to add that comes from our study of the last two examples even if a function is continuous, this does not always guarantee differentiability!!!!

If a continuous function as a cusp or a corner in it, then the function is not differentiable at that point see graphs on the next slide and decide how you would draw tangent lines (and secant lines for that matter) to the functions at the point of interest (consider drawing tangents/secants from the left side and from the right side)

As well, included on the graphs are the graphs of the derivatives (so you can make sense of the tangent/secant lines you visualized)

To be differentiable, a function must be continuous and smooth.

Derivatives will fail to exist at:

There are two theorems on page 110:

If f has a derivative at x = a, then f is continuous at x = a.

Since a function must be continuous to have a derivative, if it has a derivative then it is continuous.

Let a function have the derivative on a contiguous domain D(f '). Then is a function on D(f ') and, as such, may again have the derivative. If so, it is denoted

f x 'f x

'' ( )f x

'f x

and called the second derivative of f x

Bending-up and bending-down curves

Let be a continuous function defined on an interval f x ,a bAssume that exist for . We view the second derivative as the rate of change of the slope of the curve over the interval. If the second derivative is positive in the interval, then the slope of the curve is increasing and we interpret this as meanig that the curve is bending up. If the second derivative is negative, we interpret this as meaning that the curve is bending down.

Inflexion points

A point where a curve changes its behaviour from bending up to down (or vice versa) is called an inflexion point. If the curve is the graph of a function whose second derivative exists and is continuous, then we must have at that point. f x

Maximum and local maximum of a function

Let a function be given with a domain . For a f x D f c D f

we say that c is the point of a maximum of the function if f x

:x D f f c f x

If a neigbourhood exists such that ,N c c

:x N f c f x

we say that has a local maximum at c. f x

Minimum and local minimum of a function

Let a function be given with a domain . For a f x D f c D f

we say that c is the point of a minimum of the function if f x

:x D f f c f x

If a neigbourhood exists such that ,N c c

:x N f c f x

we say that has a local minimum at c. f x

points of local maximum points of local minimum

Let a continuous function be defined on an interval . f x ,a b

Let c be a point of maximum (minimum) of on .

f x

Then has a local maximum (minimum) at c

or c is one of the extreme points a and b

If a function is to have a local maximum at a point c, then there must be a neighbouhood of c such that �is increasing in and decreasing in

Thus we have

' 0 for , andf x x c c

' 0 for ,f x x c c

This is only possible if either of the derivative of at c does not exist.

For a local minimum, we may use a similar reasoning

A sufficient condition for a local minimum/maximum

If, for a function , we have

20, 1,2, , 2 1 0 for an integer 0i kf c i k f c k

f x

then has a local maximum at c. f x

If

then has a local minimum at c. f x

20, 1,2, , 2 1 0 for an integer 0i kf c i k f c k

With k = 1 we have a particular case of this rule :

' ''0 and 0 for a minimumf c f c

and

' ''0 and 0 for a maximumf c f c

Since local minima or maxima can only be reached at points

where the first derivative is zero and minima or maxima can also be reached at the extreme points, the only canidates for maxima and minima are the points 2,1,0,1,1.5. Calculating the values at these points we can verify that minima are reached at the points 1 and 1 while the maximum is reached at the point 2
