Show that these two matrices generate the algebra M2(Q) over the field Q. S := (i) 01 and T = -1 (13) 0

Consider the matrices below. X=[1201],Y=[1032],Z=[3412],W=[3241] Find scalars a,b, and c such that W=aX+bY+cZ. Show that there do not exist scalars a and b such that Z=aX+bY. Show that if aX+bY+cZ=0, then a=b=c=0.

Let A and B be square matrices of order n satisfying, Ax=Bx for all x in all Rn. a Find the rank and nullity of AB. b Show that matrices A and B must be identical.

44. Consider the set of all matrices of the form, where and are real numbers, with the same rules for addition and multiplication as in. a. Show that is a ring that does not have a unity. b. Show that is not a commutative ring.
