(a) Determine what values (if any) of $c \in \mathbb{R}$ make matrix A positive definite. Clearly show your reasoning. $A = \begin{pmatrix} c & 1 & 1 \ 1 & c & 1 \ 1 & 1 & c \end{pmatrix}$ (b) Determine what values (if any) of $d \in \mathbb{R}$ make matrix B positive definite. Clearly show your reasoning. $B = \begin{pmatrix} 1 & 2 & 3 \ 2 & d & 4 \ 3 & 4 & 5 \end{pmatrix}$

Use matrix multiplication, equality of matrices, and the arbitrary matrix given to show that $\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]$. $$A=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2 & 5 \\ -3 & -7 \end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{cc} a & b \\ c & d \end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{cc} 2 & 5 \\ -3 & -7 \end{array}\right]$$

Solving Linear Systems Using Matrix Equations
Determine which of the following matrices are positive definite: (a) $\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 3 \\ 3 & 5\end{array}\right]$ (b) $\left[\begin{array}{ll}3 & 4 \\ 4 & 7\end{array}\right],(\mathrm{c})\left[\begin{array}{ll}4 & 2 \\ 2 & 1\end{array}\right],(\mathrm{d})\left[\begin{array}{rr}6 & -7 \\ -7 & 9\end{array}\right]$
Solve the given problems.For the matrix $A=\left[\begin{array}{ll}a & b \\ c & d\end{array}\right],$ show that $\frac{1}{a d-b c}\left[\begin{array}{cc}a & b \\ c&d\end{array}\right]\left[\begin{array}{rr}d & -b \\ -c & a\end{array}\right]=\left[\begin{array}{ll}1 & 0 \\ 0 & 1\end{array}\right]$.This verifies the method of Example $1 .$
