Preface
This Student Solutions Manual is designed to
accompany the fifth edition of Elementary Linear Algebra,
by Andrilli and Hecker. It contains detailed solutions for
all of the exercises in the textbook marked with a star ()
or a triangle (). In the triangle exercises, the student is
typically asked to prove a theorem that appears in the
textbook.

The solutions presented are generally self-contained,


except that a comment may appear at the beginning of an
exercise that applies to all the solutions for each part of the
exercise. For example, the solution to Exercise 1 in
Section 1.1 begins with a description of the general strategy
used to solve problems in each of parts (a) and (c). Then,
the solution is given to each part separately, following the
previously stated strategy. Therefore, you should always
check for a comment at the heading of a problem before
jumping to the part in which you are interested.

We hope you find these solutions helpful. You can


find other useful information at the web site at which you
obtained this manual.

Solutions to Selected Exercises


Chapter 1
Section 1.1
(1) In each part, to find the vector, subtract the corresponding coordinates of the initial vector from the
terminal vector.

(a) In this case, [5 −1] − [−4 3] = [9 −4]. And so, the desired vector is [9 −4]. The distance between
p √
the two points = k[9 −4]k = 92 + (−4)2 = 97.
(c) In this case, [0 −3 2 −1 −1] − [1 −2 0 2 3] = [−1 −1 2 −3 −4]. And so, the desired vector is
[−1 −1 2 −3 −4]. The distance between the two points = k[−1 −1 2 −3 −4]k =
p √
(−1)2 + (−1)2 + 22 + (−3)2 + (−4)2 = 31

(2) In each part, the terminal point is found by adding the coordinates of the given vector to the corre-
sponding coordinates of the initial point (1 1 1).

(a) [1 1 1] + [2 3 1] = [3 4 2] (see Figure 1), so the terminal point = (3 4 2).
(c) [1 1 1] + [0 −3 −1] = [1 −2 0] (see Figure 2), so the terminal point = (1 −2 0).

Figure 1 Figure 2

(3) In each part, the initial point is found by subtracting the coordinates of the given vector from the
corresponding coordinates of the given terminal point.

(a) [6 −9] − [−1 4] = [7 −13], so the initial point is (7 −13).
(c) [2 −1 −1 5 4] − [3 −4 0 1 −2] = [−1 3 −1 4 6], so the initial point = (−1 3 −1 4 6).

(4) (a) First, we find the vector v having the given initial and terminal point by subtracting:
[10 −10 11] − [−4 7 2] = [14 −17 9] = v. Next, the desired point is found by adding 23 v (which
2
is the length of v) to the vector for the initial point (−4 7 2):

so the desired point is 3  − 3  8 .

(5) Let v represent the given vector. Then the desired unit vector u equals kvk v.

u is shorter than v since kuk = 1 ≤ 70 = kvk.

(c) u = kvk v = k[06−08]k [06 −08] = √ [06 −08] = [06 −08];
2 (06) +(−08)2
neither vector is longer because u = v.

(6) Two nonzero vectors are parallel if and only if one is a scalar multiple of the other.

(a) [12 −16] and [9 −12] are parallel because 34 [12 −16] = [9 −12].
(c) [−2 3 1] and [6 −4 −3] are not parallel. To show why not, suppose they are. Then there would
be a  ∈ R such that [−2 3 1] = [6 −4 −3]. Comparing first coordinates shows that −2 = 6,
or  = −3. However comparing second coordinates shows that 3 = −4, or  = − 43 instead. But
 can not have both values.

(7) (a) 3[−2 4 5] = [3(−2) 3(4) 3(5)] = [−6 12 15]


(c) [−2 4 5] + [−5 −3 6] = [(−2 + (−5)) (4 + (−3)) (5 + 6)] = [−7 1 11]
(e) 4[−5 −3 6]−5[−2 4 5] = [4(−5) 4(−3) 4(6)]−[5(−2) 5(4) 5(5)] = [−20 −12 24]−[−10 20 25] =
[(−20 − (−10)) (−12 − 20) (24 − 25)] = [−10 −32 −1]
(8) (a) x+y = [−1 5]+[2 −4] = [(−1+2) (5−4)] = [1 1], x−y = [−1 5]−[2 −4] = [(−1−2) (5−(−4))] =
[−3 9], y − x = [2 −4] − [−1 5] = [(2 − (−1)) ((−4) − 5)] = [3 −9] (see Figure 3, next page)
(c) x + y = [2 5 −3] + [−1 3 −2] = [(2 + (−1)) (5 + 3) ((−3) + (−2))] = [1 8 −5],
x − y = [2 5 −3] − [−1 3 −2] = [(2 − (−1)) (5 − 3) ((−3) − (−2))] = [3 2 −1],
y − x = [−1 3 −2] − [2 5 −3] = [((−1) − 2) (3 − 5) ((−2) − (−3))] = [−3 −2 1] (see Figure 4,
next page)
(10) In each part, consider the center of the clock to be the origin.

(a) At 12 PM, the tip of the minute hand is at (0 10). At 12 : 15 PM, the tip of the minute hand is
at (10 0). To find the displacement vector, we subtract the vector for the initial point from the
vector for the terminal point, yielding [10 0] − [0 10] = [10 −10].
(b) At 12 PM, the tip of the minute hand is at (0 10). At 12 : 40 PM, the minute hand makes a 210◦
angle with the positive -axis. So, as shown in Figure 1.10 in the textbook,

the angle v makes with the positive -axis. Now “southwest” corresponds to 225◦ , “east” corresponds
to 0◦ , and northwest corresponds to 135◦ . Hence, if v1 , v2 , and v3 are the vectors corresponding to

h ³√ ´ √ i
v3 = [02 cos(135◦ ) 02 sin(135◦ )] = 02 − 22  02 22 . Hence, the result of all three putts is

(14) As shown in Figure 1.10 in the textbook, for any vector v ∈ R2  v = [kvk cos  kvk sin ], where  is the
angle v makes with the positive -axis. Now “northwestward” corresponds to 135◦ , and “southward”

resultant speed = °[−2 2 −3 + 2 2]° = (−2 2)2 + −3 + 2 2 = 25 − 12 2 ≈ 283 km/hr.

(16) If v1 corresponds to the rower, and v2 corresponds to the current and v3 corresponds to the resultant
velocity, then v3 = v1 + v2 , or v1 = v3 − v2 . Now, as shown in Figure 1.10 in the textbook, for any
vector v ∈ R2  v = [kvk cos  kvk sin ], where  is the angle v makes with the positive -axis. Also,
“westward” corresponds to 180◦h, and “northeastward” corresponds to 45◦ . Thus,

Hence, v1 = v3 − v2 = [−8 0] − 2 2 = [−8 − 2 − 2].

(20) As shown in Figure 1.10 in the textbook, for any vector v ∈ R2  v = [kvk cos  kvk sin ], where  is

the weight is not moving, a + b + g = 0. That is, − 22   22 +  12   23 + [0 −] = [0 0]. Using

the first coordinates gives us − 22 +  12 = 0. Hence,  = 2. Using the second coordinates gives us

 22 +  23 −  = 0. Substituting in  = 2 yields  22 + 2 23 −  = 0. Solving for  produces

(b) x + (−x) = [1       ] + [−1      − ] = [(1 + (−1 ))     ( + (− ))] = [0     0] = 0.
Also, (−x) + x = x + (−x) (by part (1) of Theorem 1.3) = 0, by the above.
(c) (x+y) = ([(1 +1 )     ( + )]) = [(1 +1 )     ( + )] = [(1 +1 )     ( + )] =

(23) If  = 0, we are done. Otherwise, x = 0 =⇒ ( 1 )(x) = 1 (0) =⇒ ( 1 · )x = 0 (by part (7) of Theorem
1.3) =⇒ x = 0. Thus either  = 0 or x = 0.

(25) (a) False. The length of [1  2  3 ] is 21 + 22 + 23 . The formula given in the problem is missing the
square root. So, for example, the length of [0 3 4] is actually 5, not 02 + 32 + 42 = 25.
(b) True. This is easily proved using parts (1) and (2) of Theorem 1.3.
(c) True. [2 0 −3] = 2[1 0 0] + (−3)[0 0 1].
(d) False. Two nonzero vectors are parallel if and only if one is a scalar multiple of the other. To
show why [3 −5 2] and [6 −10 5] are not parallel, suppose they are. Then there would be a  ∈ R
such that [3 −5 2] = [6 −10 5]. Comparing first coordinates shows that 3 = 6, or  = 2. But
this value of  must work in all coordinates. However, it does not work in the third coordinate,
since (2)(2) 6= 5.
(e) True. Multiply both sides of x = 0 by 1 .
(f) False. Parallel vectors can be in opposite directions. For example, [1 0] and [−2 0] are parallel,
but are not in the same direction.
(g) False. The properties of vectors in Theorem 1.3 are independent of the location of the initial
points of the vectors.

(b) x · x = [1  2       ] · [1  2       ] = 1 1 + · · · +   = 21 + · · · + 2 . Now 21 + · · · + 2
is a sum of squares, each of which must be nonnegative. Hence, the sum is also nonnegative, and
³p ´2
so its square root is defined. Thus, 0 ≤ x · x = 21 + · · · + 2 = 21 + · · · + 2 = kxk2 .
(c) Suppose x · x = 0. From part (b), 0 = x · x = 21 + · · · + 2 ≥ 2 , for each , since all terms in the
sum are nonnegative. Hence, 0 ≥ 2 for each . But 2 ≥ 0, because it is a square. Hence each
 = 0. Therefore, x = 0.
(d) (x · y) =  ([1  2       ] · [1  2       ]) =  (1 1 + · · · +   ) = 1 1 + · · · +   =

Also, (x · z) + (y · z) = ([1  2       ] · [1  2       ]) + ([1  2       ] · [1  2       ])
= (1 1 + 2 2 + · · · +   ) + (1 1 + 2 2 + · · · +   ). Hence, (x + y) · z = (x · z) + (y · z).

(7) No. Consider x = [1 0], y = [0 1], and z = [1 1]. Then x · z = [1 0] · [1 1] = (1)(1) + (0)(1) = 1 and
y · z = [0 1] · [1 1] = (0) (1) + (1)(1) = 1, so x · z = y · z. But x 6= y.

(1) (b) Let  = max{|| ||}. Then kx ± yk ≤ (kxk + kyk).
The proof is as follows:
kx ± yk = kx + (±y)k
≤ kxk + k±yk by the Triangle Inequality

(2) (b) The converse is: If an integer has the form 3 + 1, then it also has the form 6 − 5, where  and
 are integers. For a counterexample, consider that the number 4 = 3 + 1 with  = 1, but there
is no integer  such that 4 = 6 − 5, since this equation implies  = 32 , which is not an integer.

(6) (a) Consider x = [1 0 0] and y = [1 1 0]. Then x · y = [1 0 0] · [1 1 0] = 1 = k[1 0 0]k = kxk , but
x 6= y.
(b) If x 6= y, then x · y 6= kxk2 .
(c) Yes. Using the counterexample from part (a), x 6= y, but x · y = kxk2 .
(7) Assuming x and y are vectors in R , the contrapositive of the given statement is: “If kx + yk2 =
kxk2 + kyk2 , then x · y = 0.” To prove the contrapositive, we assume the premise kx + yk2 =
kxk2 + kyk2 . Then by applying part (2) of Theorem 1.5 to both sides of this equation, we have
(x + y) · (x + y) = x · x + y · y Expanding the left side (using the distributive laws from Theorem 1.5),
we find x · x + 2(x · y)+ y· y = x · x + y · y, which reduces to x · y = 0 the desired conclusion. Since
the contrapositive of the original statement has been proven, the original statement is proven as well.
(9) (a) Contrapositive: If x = 0, then x is not a unit vector.
Converse: If x is nonzero, then x is a unit vector.
Inverse: If x is not a unit vector, then x = 0.
(c) (Let x, y be nonzero vectors.)
Contrapositive: If projy x 6= 0, then projx y 6= 0.
Converse: If projy x = 0, then projx y = 0.
Inverse: If projx y 6= 0, then projy x 6= 0.
(11) (b) Converse: Let x and y be vectors in R . If kx + yk ≥ kyk, then x · y = 0. The original statement
is true, but the converse is false in general.
Proof of the original statement:

kx + yk2 = (x + y) · (x + y) by part (2) of Theorem 1.5


= kxk2 + 2(x · y) + kyk2 using Theorem 1.5
= kxk2 + kyk2 since x · y = 0
≥ kyk2 by part (2) of Theorem 1.5

Taking the square root of both sides yields kx + yk ≥ kyk. √


Counterexample √to converse: let x = [1 0] and y = [1 1]. Then kx + yk = k[2 1]k = 5 and
kyk = k[1 1]k = 2. Hence kx + yk ≥ kyk. However, x · y = [1 0] · [1 1] = 1 6= 0.
(12) Assume each coordinate of both x and y is equal to either 1 or −1. For a proof by contradiction of the
statement “If x is orthogonal to y, then  is even,” we assume the premise and we assume the negation
of the desired conclusion, and then show that this leads to a logical contradiction.
P That is, we assume
that x ⊥ y and we also assume that  is odd. Then x·y = 0. Now x·y = =1   . But each product
  equals either 1 or −1. If exactly  of these products equal 1, then x · y =  − ( − ) = − + 2.
Hence − + 2 = 0, and so  = 2, contradicting the fact that  is odd. Since we have reached a
logical contradiction by assuming that  is odd, it follows that  is even.
(17) Base Step ( = 1): kx1 k2 = kx1 k2 .
Inductive Step: Assume kx1 + · · · + x k2 = kx1 k2 + · · · + kx k2 . Prove kx1 + · · · + x + x+1 k2 =
kx1 k2 + · · · + kx k2 + kx+1 k2 . We have k(x1 + · · · + x ) + x+1 k2 = kx1 + · · · + x k2 +
2((x1 + · · · + x )·x+1 ) + kx+1 k2 = kx1 + · · · + x k2 + kx+1 k2 (since x+1 is orthogonal to all of
x1      x ) = kx1 k2 + · · · + kx k2 + kx+1 k2  by the inductive hypothesis.
(19) Step 1 cannot be reversed, because  could equal −(2 + 2) and then the converse would not hold.
Step 2 cannot be reversed, because  2 could equal 4 +42 + with   4. For a specific counterexample

to the converse, set  = 4 + 42 + 5.
 43 +8
Step 3 is reversible. To prove the converse, multiply both sides of  = 2 by 2.
Step 4 cannot be reversed, because in general  does not have to equal 2 + 2. In particular,  could
equal 2 + 5.
2
Step 5 can be reversed by multiplying 2 by 2( +2)
2(2 +2) .

Step 6 cannot be reversed, since  could equal 2 +  for some  6= 0.
(20) (a) Negation: For every unit vector x in R3 , x · [1 −2 3] 6= 0. (Note that the existential quantifier
has changed to a universal quantifier.)
(c) Negation: x = 0 or kx + yk 6= kyk, for all vectors x and y in R . (The “and” has changed to an
“or,” and the existential quantifier has changed to a universal quantifier.)
(e) Negation: There is an x ∈ R3 such that for every nonzero y ∈ R3 , x · y 6= 0. (Note that the
universal quantifier on x has changed to an existential quantifier, and the existential quantifier
on y has changed to a universal quantifier.)
(21) (a) When negating the conclusion “x = 0 or kx − yk  kyk” of the original statement, we must
change the “or” to “and.”
Contrapositive: If x 6= 0 and kx − yk ≤ kyk, then x · y 6= 0.
Converse: If x = 0 or kx − yk  kyk, then x · y = 0.
Inverse: If x · y 6= 0, then x 6= 0 and kx − yk ≤ kyk.
(25) (a) False. We must also verify that the reversed steps are truly reversible. That is, we must also
supply valid reasons for the forward steps thus generated, as in the proof of Result 3.
(b) True. “If not  then not ” is the contrapositive of “If  then .” A statement and its contra-
positive are always logically equivalent.
(c) True. We saw that “ only if ” is an equivalent form for “If  then ,” whose converse is
“If  then .”
(d) False. “ is a necessary condition for ” is an equivalent form for “If  then .” As such, it does
not include the statement “If  then ” that is included in the “ if and only if ” statement.
(e) False. “ is a necessary condition for ” and “ is a sufficient condition for ” are both equivalent
forms for “If  then .” As such, neither includes the statement “If  then ” that is included
in the “ if and only if ” statement.
(f) False. The inverse of a statement is the contrapositive of the converse. Hence, the converse and
the inverse are logically equivalent, and always have the same truth values.
(g) False. The problem only describes the inductive step. The base step of the proof is also required.
(h) True. This rule is given in the section for negating statements with quantifiers.
(i) False. The “and” must change to an “or.” Thus, the negation of “ and ” is “not  or not .”

(2) For a matrix to be square, it must have the same number of rows as columns. A matrix X is diagonal
if and only if it is square and  = 0 for  6= . A matrix X is upper triangular if and only if it is
square and  = 0 for   . A matrix X is lower triangular if and only if it is square and  = 0
for   . A matrix X is symmetric if and only if it is square and  =  for all  . A matrix X is
skew-symmetric if and only if it is square and  = − for all  . Notice that this implies that if
X is skew-symmetric, then  = 0 for all . Finally, the transpose of an  ×  matrix X is the  × 

(5) (d) The matrix (call it A) must be a square zero matrix; that is, O , for some . First, since A is
diagonal, it must be square (by definition of a diagonal matrix). To prove that  = 0 for all  ,
we consider two cases: First, if  6= , then  = 0 since A is diagonal. Second, if  = , then
 =  = 0 since A is skew-symmetric ( = − for all , implying  = 0 for all ). Hence,
every entry  = 0, and so A is a zero matrix.
(10) (a) Part (1): Let B = A and C = (A ) . Then  =  =  . Since this is true for all  and ,
we have C = A; that is, (A ) = A.
(b) Part (2), Subtraction Case: Let D = A − B, F = (A − B) and G = A − B . Then  =  =
 −  =  . Since this is true for all  and , we have F = G; that is, (A − B) = A − B .
(c) Part (3): Let B = (A ), D = A and F = (A) . Then  =  =  =  . Since this is
true for all  and , we have F = B; that is, (A) = (A ).
(13) (a) Trace (B) = 11 + 22 = 2 + (−1) = 1, trace (C) = 11 + 22 = (−1) + 1 = 0,
trace (E) = 11 + 22 + 33 = 0 + (−6) + 0 = −6, trace (F) = 11 + 22 + 33 + 44
= 1+0+0+1 = 2, trace (G) = 11 +22 +33 = 6+6+6 = 18, trace (H) = 11 +22 +33 +44 =
0+0+0+0 = 0, trace (J) = 11 +22 +33 +44 = 0+0+1+0 = 1, trace (K) = 11 +22 +33 +44
= 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 4, trace (L) = 11 + 22 + 33 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, trace (M) = 11 + 22 + 33 =
0 + 0 + 0 = 0, trace (N) = 11 + 22 + 33 = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3, trace (P) = 11 + 22 = 0 + 0 = 0,
trace (Q) = 11 + 22 + 33 = (−2) + 0 + 3 = 1.
(c) Not necessarily true when   1. Consider matrices L and N in Exercise 2. From part (a) of this
exercise, trace(L) = 3 = trace(N). However, L 6= N.
(14) (a) False. The main diagonal entries of a 5 × 6 matrix A are 11 , 22 , 33 , 44 , and 55 . Thus, there
are 5 entries on the main diagonal. (There is no entry 66 because there is no 6th row.)
(b) True. Suppose A is lower triangular. Then  = 0 whenever   . If B = A , then  =  = 0,
if   , and so B is upper triangular.
(c) False. The square zero matrix O is both skew-symmetric and diagonal.
(d) True. This follows from the definition of a skew-symmetric matrix.

(e) True.  A + B =  A + B (by part (3) of Theorem 1.13) =  A + B

However, there are some rare instances for which the equation is true, such as when A = K, or
when either A or K equals I . Another example for which the equation holds is for A = G and
K = H, where G and H are the matrices used in Exercises 1, 2, and 3.

(5) To find the total in salaries paid by Outlet 1, we must compute the total amount paid to executives, the
total amount paid to salespersons, and the total amount paid to others, and then add these amounts.
But each of these totals is found by multiplying the number of that type of employee working at Outlet
1 by the salary for that type of employee. Hence, the total salary paid at Outlet 1 is

(7) To compute the tonnage of a particular chemical applied to a given field, for each type of fertilizer we

Note that this is the dot product (3rd column of A)·(2nd column of B). Since this is the dot product
of two columns, it is not in the form of an entry of a matrix product. To turn this into a form that
looks like an entry of a matrix product, we consider the transpose of A , and express it as (3rd row of
A )·(2nd column of B). Thus, this is the (3 2) entry of A B. A similar analysis shows that computing
all of the entries of A B produces all of the information requested in the problem. Hence, to solve the

(15) Several crucial steps in the following proofs rely on Theorem 1.5 for their validity.

(a) Proof of Part (2): The ( ) entry of A(B + C)


= (th row of A)·(th column of (B + C))
= (th row of A)·(th column of B + th column of C)
= (th row of A)·(th column of B)
+ (th row of A)·(th column of C)
= (( ) entry of AB) + (( ) entry of AC)
= ( ) entry of (AB + AC).

(b) Proof of Part (3): The ( ) entry of (A + B)C


= (th row of (A + B))·(th column of C)
= ((th row of A) + (th row of B)) · (th column of C)
= (th row of A)·(th column of C)
+ (th row of B)·(th column of C)
= (( ) entry of AC) + (( ) entry of BC)
= ( ) entry of (AC + BC).

(c) For the first equation in Part (4), the ( ) entry of (AB)
= ((th row of A)·(th column of B))
= ((th row of A))·(th column of B)
= (th row of A)·(th column of B)
= ( ) entry of (A)B.
Similarly, the ( ) entry of (AB)
= ((th row of A)·(th column of B))
= (th row of A)·((th column of B))
= (th row of A)·(th column of B)
= ( ) entry of A(B).

(20) (a) Proof of Part (1): We use induction on the variable . Base Step: A+0 = A = A I = A A0 .
Inductive Step: Assume A+ = A A for some  ≥ 0. We must prove A+(+1) = A A+1 . But
A+(+1) = A(+)+1 = A+ A = (A A )A (by the inductive hypothesis) = A (A A) = A A+1 .
(b) Proof of Part (2): Again, we use induction on the variable . Base Step: (A )0 = I = A0 = A0 .
Inductive Step: Assume (A ) = A for some integer  ≥ 0. We must prove (A )+1 = A(+1) .
But (A )+1 = (A ) A (by definition) = A A (by the inductive hypothesis) = A+ (by part
(1)) = A(+1) . Finally, reversing the roles of  and  in the proof above shows that (A ) = A ,
which equals A .

Setting AD = DA shows that 12 = 0, and so A = I2 .


Finally, we must show that I2 actually does commute with every 2 × 2 matrix. If M is a 2 × 2 matrix,
then (I2 )M = (I2 M) = M. Similarly, M(I2 ) = (MI2 ) = M. Hence I2 commutes with M.

(19) (a) Let A and B be  ×  matrices having the properties given in the exercise. Let C = AB. Then
we know that  = 0 for all   ,  = 0 for all   ,  = 0 for all  6= , and that  6= 0 and
 6= 0 for all . We need to prove that  = 0 for all   .PWe use induction on . P
 
Base Step P ( = 1): Let    = 1. Then 0 = 1 = =1  1 = 1 11 + =2  1

= 1 11 + =2  · 0 = 1 11 . Since 11 6= 0, this implies that 1 = 0, completing the Base
Step.
Inductive Step: Assume for  = 1 2      − 1 that  = 0 for all    That is, assume
we have already proved that, for some  ≥ 2, that the first  − 1 columns of A have all
zeros below the main diagonal. To complete the inductive step, we need to prove that the th
column of A has all zeros below the main
P diagonal. That P−1is, we must prove thatP = 0 for all
  . Let   . Then, 0 =  = =1   = =1   +   + =+1  
P−1 P
= =1 0 ·  +   + =+1  · 0 =   . But, since  6= 0, we must have
 = 0, completing the proof.
(20) (a) False. If A is a nonzero matrix, there must exist some  and  such that  6= 0. For this  and
, the ( ) entry of A, which equals  , must be nonzero.

(b) True. A nonzero vector x is parallel to the unit vector u = kxk x.
(c) False. For example, [1 4 3] − [2 5 4] = [−1 −1 −1] is a linear combination of [1 4 3] and [2 5 4]
having negative entries.
3
(d) False. By definition, an angle between vectors has a measure from 0 to . But 2  . The
measure of the angle between [1 0] and [0 −1] is 2 .
(e) False. projx y could have the opposite direction from x. For example, if x = [1 0] and y = [−1 1],
then projx y = [−1 0].
(f) True. Apply the Triangle Inequality twice: kx + y + zk = kx + (y + z)k°P≤ kxk° + ky + zk ≤
°  ° P
kxk+kyk+kzk. Note that a proof by induction can be used to prove that ° =1 x ° ≤ =1 kx k
(see Exercise 16 in Section 1.3).
(g) False. Recall that a set {v1      v } of vectors is mutually orthogonal if and only if for every pair
of distinct vectors v , v in the set, v · v = 0. When negating statements involving a universal
quantifier, such as this, the universal quantifier must change to an existential quantifier. The
correct negation is: There is a pair of distinct vectors v , v in {v1      v } such that v · v 6= 0.
(h) False. Disproving a statement involving a universal quantifier typically involves finding a coun-
terexample. To disprove a statement involving an existential quantifier, we must prove its nega-
tion, which is a universally quantified statement. Thus, the negation must be proven in all cases.
For example, to disprove the statement “There is a 2 × 2 matrix A such that AO22 6= O22 ” we
must show that all 2 × 2 matrices A have the property AO22 = O22  It is not enough to provide
just one specific matrix A for which AO22 6= O22 . ∙ ¸
1 1
As a further illustration, consider the following statement: “Let A = . Then there is
1 1
a nonzero 2×2 ∙ matrix B¸such that AB = O22 .” This statement is actually true, since the nonzero
1 1
matrix B = does satisfy AB = O22  Now it is possible to find other matrices, such
−1 −1
as B = I2  for which AB 6= O22 . However, the existence of such possibilities for B does not prove
the original existential statement false. The moral here is that finding a “counterexample” to an
existential statement is not enough to ensure that the statement is false.

Hodeida. Eine arabische Stadt, buntes Leben, Freunde, Bitten
um ein Boot, das sie weiterbringen kann, Wahl der Begleiter und
endlich die Stunde, in der es wieder weitergeht. Hat der Aufenthalt
lange gedauert, zwei Tage, zehn, vierzehn? Weiter, nur
weiter! — — —
Vom niedrigen Sambuk aus sind die flachen Dächer Hodeidas
noch eben zu sehen, dann beim Runden der nächsten Huck
verschwinden auch sie. Nach kurzem Aufenthalt in Hodeida hat von
Möller mit seinen Begleitern einen Sambuk, eines der
Segelfahrzeuge, die dem Verkehr der Anwohner des Roten Meeres
dienen, zur Verfügung gestellt erhalten. Der geringe Tiefgang
ermöglicht ein Fahren unmittelbar unter der Küste, zum Teil
zwischen den vorgelagerten Inseln und Riffen hindurch, wohin selbst
kleine Kanonenboote nicht zu folgen vermögen. Bis Djidda soll die
Fahrt gehen, dann quer durch die Wüste zur Hedschasbahn.
Die Seefahrt ist nicht ganz einfach. Dicht unter der
Wasseroberfläche verborgen liegen zahlreiche Riffe und Klippen.
Noch gefährlicher aber sind die feindlichen, im Roten Meer
kreuzenden Kriegsschiffe, die die Küste ständig unter scharfer
Bewachung halten.
Ohne Zwischenfälle verläuft der Tag. Glühendheiß brennt die
Sonne herunter, ununterbrochen gleitet an Steuerbord die trostlose
Wüstenlandschaft vorbei. Einzelne kleine Inselchen und Korallenriffe
werden umfahren. Nichts zeigt sich auf dem Wasser. Ganz fern nur
verweht der Rauch eines auf die Insel Perim zusteuernden
Dampfers. Die Nacht kommt, erfrischende Brise setzt mit der
Dunkelheit ein. Sie verleiht dem Sambuk gute Fahrt, verlangt aber
auch schärfsten Ausguck nach der Brandung, um ein Auflaufen zu
vermeiden. Mitternacht. Eben wird die Wache übergeben: „Nichts in
Sicht“, als plötzlich aus dem Dunkel ein greller Lichtkegel über das
Wasser schießt. Ein feindliches Bewachungsschiff. Im Nu ist das
Segel herunter, und regungslos, hinter einem Riff verborgen, liegt
der Sambuk. Näher flutet das Licht, zittert bald hierhin, bald dorthin,
gleitet heran. Entdeckt! Sekunden höchster Spannung vergehen,
dann sucht der Lichtkegel wieder weiter, um schließlich ganz zu
erlöschen. Gleichförmig vergehen die Tage. Hie und da streifen an
Land Beduinen bis an die Küste heran. Sie verschwinden aber, als
sie nur ein einheimisches Fahrzeug, das nicht weiter verdächtig ist,
erblicken.
Nur noch fünfzig Meilen trennen die kleine Schar von Konfuda,
als mehrere feindliche Wachschiffe in bedrohliche Nähe kommen.
Mit hoher Fahrt braust eines der niedrigen Kanonenboote bis auf
etwa drei Seemeilen heran, stoppt. Von der Brücke spähen mit
Kiekern und Doppelgläsern bewaffnete Augen nach dem Sambuk,
der ruhig weitergleitet, aber auf alle Fälle gerüstet, dicht unter Land
fährt. Drüben rührt sich nichts; wahrscheinlich ist ihnen das
Fahrzeug nicht verdächtig und daß Araber, für die man sie
augenscheinlich hält, auf ein Signal eingehen, kann nicht erwartet
werden. Vielleicht auch trösten sie sich damit, daß weiter nördlich
andere Kanonenboote stehen. Dort gibt es keine Riffe, die, wie hier,
eine unmittelbare Durchsuchung hindern.
Die gleichen Erwägungen aber sind es, die auf dem Sambuk
angestellt werden, als weit voraus Rauchwolken auftauchen. Die
Sache wird brenzlich. Jetzt heißt es an Land gehen. Südlich Konfuda
landet Kapitänleutnant von Möller am Nachmittag in der Nähe eines
kleinen Küstenplatzes. Dank seiner arabischen Begleitung sind bald
Kamele zur Stelle, auf denen der Weitermarsch angetreten wird.
Drei Tage später, am 28. April, reiten sie ungefährdet in die Stadt
ein, und ebenso heil kommen sie nach einem weiteren Kamelritt, der
sie über vierhundert Kilometer führt, am 16. Mai nach Djidda, dem
Sitze eines türkischen Oberkommandos.
Hier aber scheint die Reise ein Ende finden zu sollen. Schon in
Friedenszeiten sind die in der Umgebung hausenden
Wüstenstämme ihres religiösen Fanatismus wegen berüchtigt. Dazu
kommt noch, daß sie ganz im Solde der Engländer stehen, die sie
mit modernen Handwaffen ausgerüstet haben. Über fünfhundert
Kilometer führt der Weg zur Bahn durch ihr Gebiet. Ohne überaus
starke Deckungsmannschaften, die gerade jetzt nicht abkömmlich
sind, ist das Unternehmen mehr als gefährlich. In überzeugender
Weise versucht der Oberkommandierende von Möller von seinem
Vorhaben abzubringen, hält ihm immer wieder das Tollkühne seiner
Absichten vor. Umsonst ......
Die Kamele stehen bereit, ein arabischer Soldat und ein Basch
Tschausch, die als Führer dienen sollen, warten auf den Befehl zum
Abmarsch. Noch einmal tritt der Kommandeur an von Möller heran.
„Herr Kapitänleutnant, ich habe leider nicht die Macht, Sie an
Ihrem Vorhaben zu hindern, aber bitten kann ich Sie wieder und
wieder, bleiben Sie hier. Sie wissen nicht, wie gefährlich der Weg ist,
den Sie gehen wollen, wie verhetzt die Beduinen, die seit langem
schon nur englisches Gold kennen. Denken Sie an die „Ayesha“-
Leute!“ Eindringlich spricht der türkische Offizier auf den Deutschen
ein, dessen hohe Gestalt ihn weit überragt. Einen Augenblick scheint
es wie ein Zögern über das dunkelbraune, hager gewordene Gesicht
von Möllers zu gehen, dann lächelt er: „Wenn Sie nun wüßten, Ihr
Vaterland braucht Sie, über kurz oder lang kommt es zu einer
großen, vielleicht zur Entscheidungsschlacht, in der jedermann nötig
ist, würden Sie zögern, weil es gefährlich ist?“ Nicht einen
Augenblick besinnt sich der Angeredete. „Ich würde gehen.
Trotzdem möchte ich Sie warnen und bitten, bleiben Sie, tun Sie es
nicht. Freilich, Sie sind ja fest entschlossen! So wünsche ich Ihnen
nur, Ihr Gott möge mit Ihnen sein und Sie glücklich nach dem
ersehnten Ziele geleiten.“
Ein fester Händedruck, dann wendet sich Kapitänleutnant von
Möller an seine Begleiter, die mit ihm so manche Gefahr bestanden
haben und die wie er bereit sind, neue aufzusuchen, um heim, in
den Krieg zu kommen.
Langsam setzt sich der Zug in Bewegung. In gleichmäßigem
Schritt geht es durch die Straßen in die Wüste hinaus, die im
Scheine der untergehenden Sonne blutigrot leuchtet .... Jetzt winden
sie sich zwischen zwei Dünen hindurch, überschreiten den Wadi,
sind draußen .... Kleiner und kleiner werden die Gestalten ...
bläuliche Nebel fallen ein ... ein weißer Burnus leuchtet ... der letzte
Sonnenstrahl blitzt auf einem Gewehrlauf .... Wie Pünktchen noch
sind sie zu erkennen ... dann verschwinden sie dort, wo der gelbe
Sand in die violetten Abendschatten übergeht .. fern ... in der
Wüste ...........
Telegramm des syrischen Armeekorps vom 3. Juni 1916:
Wir haben zu unserem Bedauern erfahren, daß Kapitänleutnant
von Möller und seine Begleiter neun Stunden von Djidda entfernt von
Arabern ermordet wurden.

See paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with

Gutenberg™ electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.
1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (“the
Foundation” or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the
collection of Project Gutenberg™ electronic works. Nearly all the
individual works in the collection are in the public domain in the
United States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in
the United States and you are located in the United States, we do
not claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing,
performing, displaying or creating derivative works based on the
work as long as all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of
course, we hope that you will support the Project Gutenberg™
mission of promoting free access to electronic works by freely
sharing Project Gutenberg™ works in compliance with the terms of
this agreement for keeping the Project Gutenberg™ name
associated with the work. You can easily comply with the terms of
this agreement by keeping this work in the same format with its
attached full Project Gutenberg™ License when you share it without
charge with others.

of this agreement before downloading, copying, displaying,
performing, distributing or creating derivative works based on this
work or any other Project Gutenberg™ work. The Foundation makes
no representations concerning the copyright status of any work in
any country other than the United States.

United States without paying any fees or charges. If you are
redistributing or providing access to a work with the phrase “Project
Gutenberg” associated with or appearing on the work, you must
comply either with the requirements of paragraphs 1.E.1 through

Gutenberg™ works.

1.F.

1.F.1. Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend


considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe
and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright law in creating

be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as, but not limited to,
incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data, transcription errors, a
copyright or other intellectual property infringement, a defective or
damaged disk or other medium, a computer virus, or computer

PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE

1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you


discover a defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it,

from. If you received the work on a physical medium, you must
return the medium with your written explanation. The person or entity
that provided you with the defective work may elect to provide a
replacement copy in lieu of a refund. If you received the work
electronically, the person or entity providing it to you may choose to

lieu of a refund. If the second copy is also defective, you may
demand a refund in writing without further opportunities to fix the
problem.

alteration, modification, or additions or deletions to any Project
Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission of


Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers.
It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and
donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the


assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg™’s
goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™ collection will
remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a
secure and permanent future for Project Gutenberg™ and future
generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help,
see Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
www.gutenberg.org.

state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal
Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or federal tax identification

Section 4. Information about Donations to


the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission of
increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can
be freely distributed in machine-readable form accessible by the
widest array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small
donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax
exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating


charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United
States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a
considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and
keep up with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in
locations where we have not received written confirmation of
compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of
compliance for any particular state visit www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where


we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no
prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in
such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make


any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from
outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current donation
methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of
other ways including checks, online payments and credit card
donations. To donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About Project


Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could be
freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose network of
volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several printed


editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
the U.S. unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not
necessarily keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper
edition.

Most people start at our website which has the main PG search
facility: www.gutenberg.org.

This website includes information about Project Gutenberg™,


including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary
Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how
to subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks.
