A 3 x 3 matrix A is multiplied from the left with an elementary matrix $E_i$. The multiplication causes $R_2$ of A to be replaced by $R_2 + 3R_3$. Which of the following matrices is $E_i$? $\begin{array}{rcl} A. E_4 &=& \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 0\\0 & 1 & 3\end{bmatrix}\\\B. E_3 &=& \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 3 & 1\\0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\\\C. E_1 &=& \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 3 & 0\\0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\\\D. E_2 &=& \begin{bmatrix}1 & 0 & 0\\0 & 1 & 3\\0 & 0 & 1\end{bmatrix}\end{array}$

a. Justify the following: Any invertible matrix is a product of elementary matrices. b. Write $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}0 & 2 \\ 1 & 3\end{array}\right]$ as a product of elementary matrices.

Factor these symmetric matrices into $A=L D L^{\top}$. The matrix $D$ is diagonal: $$ A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & 3 \\ 3 & 2 \end{array}\right] \text { and } \quad A=\left[\begin{array}{ll} 1 & b \\ b & c \end{array}\right] \text { and } \quad A=\left[\begin{array}{rrr} 2 & -1 & 0 \\ -1 & 2 & -1 \\ 0 & -1 & 2 \end{array}\right] $$
