(24%) Prove (concisely) or disprove (by a counter example) in an inner product space. fa) dda slaty? wave (b) If feeb snc) then wee. (c) Non-zero orthogonal vectors are linearly independent. (dQ) Tf two asx matrices have the same aull space. then they have the same row space. (e) TP two ae matrices have the same null space, then they have the same column space. (fF) (For any square mates A). 4 and -f! have the same null space. 2. (10%) (a) What do we mean precisely by a least square solution of a non-consistent system I ¥ by | ys AVY =h?) AND in) how do we find them? (b) What do we know about symmetric 7x matrices regarding eigenvalues & diagonalization ?
