1What is the determinant of the 2x2 matrix A = [[2, -1], [4, 3]]?
A.10
B.2
C.14
D.-2
Explanation: The determinant of a 2x2 matrix [[a, b], [c, d]] is computed as ad - bc. For matrix A, det(A) = (2)(3) - (-1)(4) = 6 + 4 = 10.
2If A is a 3x3 matrix with det(A) = 5, what is the determinant of the scalar multiple matrix 2A?
A.40
B.10
C.30
D.20
Explanation: For any n x n matrix A and scalar k, det(k A) = k^n * det(A). Since A is a 3x3 matrix (n = 3) and k = 2, det(2A) = 2^3 * det(A) = 8 * 5 = 40.
3Which condition is both necessary and sufficient for a square matrix A to be invertible?
A.det(A) != 0
B.det(A) = 0
C.A is a symmetric matrix
D.The trace of A is positive
Explanation: A square matrix A is non-singular (invertible) if and only if its determinant is non-zero (det(A) != 0).
4What is the transpose of the 2x3 matrix M = [[1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6]]?
A.[[1, 4], [2, 5], [3, 6]]
B.[[6, 5, 4], [3, 2, 1]]
C.[[1, 2], [3, 4], [5, 6]]
D.[[4, 5, 6], [1, 2, 3]]
Explanation: The transpose M^T of a matrix M interchanges its rows and columns. Row 1 [1, 2, 3] becomes Column 1 and Row 2 [4, 5, 6] becomes Column 2, yielding a 3x2 matrix [[1, 4], [2, 5], [3, 6]].
5If A * X = B, where A is an invertible square matrix, which matrix expression correctly yields X?
A.X = A^(-1) * B
B.X = B * A^(-1)
C.X = B / A
D.X = A * B^(-1)
Explanation: To solve A * X = B, left-multiply both sides by A^(-1): A^(-1) * (A * X) = A^(-1) * B => (A^(-1) * A) * X = A^(-1) * B => X = A^(-1) * B. Matrix multiplication is non-commutative, so the order matters.
6Calculate the determinant of the 3x3 matrix A = [[1, 0, 2], [3, -1, 1], [2, 0, 4]].
A.0
B.8
C.-4
D.4
Explanation: Expanding along the second column (which has two zeros): det(A) = (-1) * (-1)^(2+2) * det([[1, 2], [2, 4]]) = (-1) * (1 * 4 - 2 * 2) = (-1) * (0) = 0. Notice that Column 3 is twice Column 1, so rows/columns are linearly dependent.
7What is the inverse matrix of A = [[1, 2], [3, 4]]?
A.[[-2, 1], [1.5, -0.5]]
B.[[4, -2], [-3, 1]]
C.[[-0.5, 1], [1.5, -2]]
D.[[1, 0.5], [0.33, 0.25]]
Explanation: det(A) = (1)(4) - (2)(3) = -2. Using the formula A^(-1) = (1/det(A)) * [[d, -b], [-c, a]], we get A^(-1) = (-1/2) * [[4, -2], [-3, 1]] = [[-2, 1], [3/2, -1/2]].
8For what real value of the parameter 'a' is the matrix A = [[a, 1, 0], [1, a, 1], [0, 1, a]] singular?
A.a = 0 or a = sqrt(2) or a = -sqrt(2)
B.a = 1 or a = -1
C.a = 2 or a = -2
D.a = 0 only
Explanation: Compute det(A) by expanding along row 1: det(A) = a * (a^2 - 1) - 1 * (a - 0) = a^3 - a - a = a^3 - 2a = a(a^2 - 2). Setting det(A) = 0 gives a = 0 or a^2 = 2 => a = +-sqrt(2).
9Consider the system of linear equations: { x + y + z = 1; x + 2y + 3z = 2; x + 4y + az = 5 }. For what value of parameter 'a' does the system NOT have a unique solution?
A.a = 7
B.a = 5
C.a = 3
D.a = 0
Explanation: The system has a unique solution iff the coefficient matrix determinant is non-zero. det(A) = |[1,1,1],[1,2,3],[1,4,a]|. Subtract Row 1 from Row 2 and Row 3: |[1,1,1],[0,1,2],[0,3,a-1]| = 1 * ((a-1) - 6) = a - 7. Setting det(A) = 0 yields a = 7.
10What is the rank of the matrix A = [[1, 2, 3], [2, 4, 6], [3, 6, 9]]?
A.1
B.3
C.2
D.0
Explanation: Notice that Row 2 = 2 * Row 1 and Row 3 = 3 * Row 1. All 2x2 and 3x3 minors are zero, but there exist non-zero 1x1 minors (e.g. [1]). Hence, rank(A) = 1.
