1. (20 pts.) Decide the following statements are true or false. Justify your answer.
(1) The following set of vectors are linearly independent. (10pts)

Solution: The statement above is false. The linear dependence rela-tion for v1, v2, v3 and v4 is: 0 . v1 +0 . v2 +1 . v3 +0 . v4 =0 Therefore v1,v2,v3,v4 are linearly dependent with weights (0, 0, 1, 0).
Decide the following statements are true or false. Justify your answer.
(2) If det A .to Rn
= 0, then the map from Rn de.ned by mapping x to Ax is one to one. (10pts)
Solution: The statement above is true. If the determinant of a matrix A is nonzero, A is a invertible matrix. By the inverse matrix theory, the map from x to Ax is one to one.
2. (25 pts.) Let BT denote the transpose of the matrix B. Compute the determinant of the matrix det(ABT ), where
A =

and B =

Solution: We have
det(ABT ) = det(A) det(BT ). and
det BT = det B Here by using the cofactor expansion across the .rst row for A.

det(A)=1 .

Therefore,
det(ABT )=(.1) . (.2) = 2
