PROJECT 1 (USING MICROSOFT EXCEL)

1. Let A, B, C and D are non-square matrices. Verify whether each of the following statements
is true or false

i)
ii)
iii)
iv)
v)
vi)

A+B = B+A
AB = B A
(CD)T = CT DT
(EF)-1 = E-1F-1
det (G-1)=det G
det (HT JT) = det (JT) det (HT)

2. Generate a nonhomogeneous system PX=Q which has infinitely many solutions. Verify
your answer.
3. Generate a homogeneous system RX=0 which has a non-trivial solution. Give an
example of your solution and check your answer.

Remark:
a. The size of matrix A, B, C, P and R is based on the corresponding group (where applicable).
b. The column of matrix D must greater than 21.
c. The size of matrix E, F, G, H and J is based on the number of row in the corresponding group.

PROJECT 1

You need to follow the following guidelines:

1. Excel assignments are group projects. Groups should consist of three (3) members. All group
members must participate in order to receive credit. However, only one copy of the
solutions needs to be turned in for the entire group. If a group member does not work on
the assignment, that person will receive a zero mark.
2. Choose one of the following matrix sizes. Each group must choose different size.

3. Assignments are due at 6 November 2014. Assignments turned in after that will be
considered late and will be marked down 5%.
4. Format of the assignment report:
i)
ii)
iii)
iv)

font : 12pt Times New Roman

spacing : 1.5
the steps of the solutions should be shown clearly.
the print-out from the EXCEL (formula) should be attached in the appendix. The
grade will be marked down another 5% without the print-out.

5. Particulars on the cover page should include:

i)
