Exam 2018

Exercise 1

Question 1)
To show that z1 lies on C, we find the norm |z-5|

(1.1)

This is true! To find the Real part of 1/z we multiply by the conjugate fraction:

(1.2)

Therefore the real part is 1/10.

Question 2)
We now state the Euler form of z2:

(1.3)

1
(1.4)
10

Question 3)
We need to show that any z on C fulfills .
let z = a+ib.

(1.5)

(1.6)

We also know that any point z that lies on C fulfulls |z-5| = 5.

(1.10)

(1.11)

You should know this!

Exercise 2

Question 1)
State the solution in parametric form!
You should know this!

(2.1)

(2.2)

Can also be found as above.

Question 2)
Determine the dimension of ker(f) and range (image) of f( ).

The dimension of the image space is equal to the rank of the RREF of A. From the above, The rank of T
= rank of A = 3.

Dim(range) = 3

From the definition: Dim( ) = Dim(range) + Dim(ker(f)). We thus have:

(2.3)
So Dim(ker(f)) = 2.

Exercise 3

Question 1)
v is a basis if all vectors are linearly independent. That is, if v has full rank:

(3.1)

(3.2)

Since v has full rank, v is a basis.

Question 2)
Determine the mapping matrices

v1 spans the function f(u) = 5 u, so v1 is an eigenvector for f, with eigenvalue = 5.

v2 and v3 span the function f(u) = -4u, so v2 and v3 are eigenvectors for f, both with eigenvalue = -4.

We can thus, set up a mapping matrix vFv, which is the diagonal matrix with the eigenvalues above.
 (3.3)

We already know that the basis v maps from v to e.

(3.4)

To find the mapping matrix eFe, we need to change from e basis to v basis, apply the mapping matrix
vFv, then come back to e basis.

This is done by: eFe = eMv.vFv.vMe, where vMe = eMv .

(3.5)

Question 3)
To find an orthonormal basis consisting of the eigenvectors of f, we can simply normalize the basis
vector.

However we also want that one of the basis vectors is aligned with v3.

Since is spanned by v1 and is spanned by v2,v3, all vectors from are orthogonal to vectors in
.

So we choose v1 and v3 for the orthonormal basis:

(3.6)
 (3.7)

To find a 3rd orthonormal vector, we can simply take the CrossProduct of q1 and q2:

(3.8)

(3.9)

(3.10)

So it works! and q2 is aligned with v3.

Exercise 4

Question 1)
For a=3, the matrix becomes:
 (4.1)

(4.2)

Since we have gm = 1 < am = 2, we cannot solve the solution with method of diagonalization, where the
solution is of the form:

(4.3)

Since we do not have a vector v2!

Not necessary in exam:

We can however solve it with

(4.4)

Where b is the solution to . Then the solution is:

(4.5)

But we are not asked for this in the question.

Question 2)
Find the complete solution.

If we have complex eigenvalues, it mean that the complex value and its conjugate both are solutions,
and they have conjugate eigenvectors.

(4.6)

This is the complete complex solution.

Question 3)
Find the value of a.

There are 2 ways to solve this.

1st way:
.
We also know the eigenvalues and eigenvectors for the problem:

(4.7)

(4.8)

(4.9)

Thus a = 5.

2nd way:

Computing the characteristic polynomial:

(4.10)

(4.11)

We set these two values equal to the know eigenvalues for the differential equation:

5 (4.12)
Thus, a=5.
