Problem 2. (3 points) If $$A = \begin{bmatrix} 4 - 2i & -3 + 4i \\ 4 + 2i & -1 + 3i \end{bmatrix}$$ and $$B = \begin{bmatrix} -4 + 3i & 3 + 2i \\ -2 - 3i & -2 + i \end{bmatrix}$$, then $$AB = \begin{bmatrix} \Box & \Box \\ \Box & \Box \end{bmatrix}$$ and $$BA = \begin{bmatrix} \Box & \Box \\ \Box & \Box \end{bmatrix}$$ Choose True or False: $$AB = BA$$ for any two square matrices $$A$$ and $$B$$ of the same size with complex entries. Note: You can earn partial credit on this problem.

Step 1
Let $$A = \begin{bmatrix} a_{11} & a_{12} \\ a_{21} & a_{22} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} 4 - 2i & -3 + 4i \\ 4 + 2i & -1 + 3i \end{bmatrix}$$ and $$B = \begin{bmatrix} b_{11} & b_{12} \\ b_{21} & b_{22} \end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix} -4 + 3i & 3 + 2i \\ -2 - Show more…

If A = [4+i 3+i; -2+2i 3+2i] and B = [-2+i -4+2i; -3+i 1+3i] then AB = [ ; ] and BA = [ ; ]. True or False: AB = BA for any two square matrices A and B of the same size with complex entries.

5. Determine if the statements below are True or False. If it's True, explain why. If it's False, explain why not, or simply give an example demonstrating why it's false. A correct choice of "True" or "False" with no explanation will not receive any credit. (a) If B is a 3 % 4 matrix then there exists a 4 % 3 matrix A such that det(AB) ≠ 0 (Hint: Think about homogeneous systems!) (b) Let A be an n % n matrix and let R denote the RREF form of A. Then det(A) = det(R). (c) If w ∈ C is a solution to the equation z%%%%%% = πe%%/11 then % is a solution to the equation z%%%%%% = πe-%%/11.
