1. True or false: (a) if E is a subspace of V, then dim(E) + dim(E+) = dim(V) (b) Let {i, n} be a basis of the vector space V, where vi,..., are all eigen- vectors for both the matrix A and the matrix B. Then, any eigenvector of A is an eigenvector of B. Justify. 2. Apply Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization to the system of vectors {(1, 2, -2), (1, −1, 4), (2, 1, 1)}. 3. Suppose P is the orthogonal projection onto a subspace E, and Q is the orthogonal projection onto the orthogonal complement E. (a) The combinations of projections P+Q and PQ correspond to well-known oper- ators. What are they? Justify your answer. (b) Show that P - Q is its own inverse. 4. Show that the Frobenius product on n x n-matrices, (A, B) = = Tr(B*A), is an inner product, where B* denotes the Hermitian adjoint of B. 5. Show that if A and B are two n x n-matrices for which {1,..., n} is a basis of eigen- vectors (for both A and B), then AB = BA. Remark: It is also true that if AB = BA, then there exists a common…
